OASIS Press Release to Announce Approval of DSS

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

--PLEASE NOTE QUOTE DEADLINE IS TUESDAY, 8 MAY--

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce the
approval of Digital Signature Services (DSS) v1.0 as an OASIS Standard. We have
targeted Thursday, 10 May, 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 DSS press release will contain the following statement: 

"The DSS OASIS Standard was developed by representatives of BEA Systems,
CATCert-Agencia Catalana de Certificacio, IBM, Nokia, 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
DSS TC, and you wish to receive visibility for your role in the development of
DSS, please contact peter.roden@oasis-open.org 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 DSS--you do not have to be a member of the OASIS DSS
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
peter.roden@oasis-open.org.
