["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

--PLEASE NOTE QUOTE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, 10 AUG--

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce the
approval of the Darwin Information Typing Architecture (DITA) version 1.1 as an
OASIS Standard. We have targeted Monday, 13 August, for distribution.

*Recognition*
While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our
technical work, only Foundational- and Sponsor-level members elect to receive
promotional benefits, such as inclusion in announcements directed to the press.
The DITA 1.1 press release will contain the following statement: 

"Version 1.1 of the DITA OASIS Standard was developed by representatives of
Adobe, BMC Software, Boeing, Citrix Systems, Comtech Services, IBM, Intel,
Justsystem, Nokia, Oracle, PTC, Sun Microsystems, US Department of Defense, and
others."

If you represent one of these organizations, and you do *not* wish to be
included in the press release, please notify me.

If you represent a Contributor-level organization participating in the OASIS
DITA TC, and you wish to receive visibility for your role in the development of
DITA 1.1, please contact me immediately for information on upgrading your
membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

*Quotes*
Any Foundational- or Sponsor-level member of OASIS may submit a quote in
support of the approval of DITA 1.1--you do not have to be a member of the
OASIS DITA TC. Please email quotes to me, including a name and title at your
organization to whom the quote can be attributed.

If your organization is not a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to
submit a quote for this press release, please contact me.
