new OASIS staff: Mary McRae

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

TC chairs:

You'll note the message I sent to the members email list a short while 
ago announcing that Mary McRae has joined the OASIS staff to help Jamie 
and I work with the various TCs. With over 60 TCs and just Jamie 
(mostly) and I (a little bit :-) keeping an eye on things and being 
available to you as resources to help keep the TCs running smoothly, 
we're obviously not able to provide any of you with a lot of our time. 
So we've hired additional staff to help out.

In addition to giving us more time to allocate to each of you, Mary's 
hiring also puts us at a point where we can divide up primary 
responsibility for individual TCs among the three of us. Jamie will 
continue to be the primary contact point for most of the TCs, while Mary 
and I will each take primary responsibility for some number of the TCs.

I will be contacting individually the chairs for TCs who will be the 
primary repsonsibility of Mary or myself; if and until you hear from me 
you should assume that your primary contact continues to be Jamie.

(That's not to say that I won't be available if Jamie or Mary can't help 
you; it's just that you should contact them first.)

The exception to this is that Jamie remains the primary contact for all 
IPR declarations from your TC, and I remain the primary contact for 
formation of new TCs and for submissions for consideration as OASIS 
Standards.

Mary's email address is mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org, and Jamie is at 
jamie.clark@oasis-open.org

Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions or concerns.
