Re: [cti] OASIS CTI - Need to recruit

[Chet Ensign <chet.ensign@oasis-open.org>]

Hi Bret - 

Not to discourage recruitment (!) but rather just for a bit of perspective from my role here... 

I have *never* seen a TC launch with this many members. More common is 10 to 20. Very few TCs have ever had this kind of interest or involvement. (Of course, very few TCs deal with a topic as pressing as CTI either.) 

Also, having just 1 or 2 people from any member company in a TC is common. 

That said, Carol and Robin are continuing to investigate and recruit and are happy to work with you to target potential players. Feel free to get in touch with them with any ideas that you have. 

I agree with you about vendors but I think we have some of them in the works.

We are 2 1/2 weeks away from our first meeting and we only have 55 potential voting members.  We need to recruit in order to gain a broad spectrum of ideas. 

Some interesting dynamics in our voting memberhsip have already started to form. 69% of the current potential voting members come from 5 logical groups.  

United Kingdom Cabinet Office	5	9%
Soltra / Banking	16	29%
MITRE / US Gov	8	15%
Intelworks	4	7%
IBM	5	9%

I am really surprised that we do not have more support from vendors.  

Thanks,

Bret
