[ebxml-jc] 5/31/2004: M&A Summary to Review

["Monica J. Martin" <Monica.Martin@Sun.COM>]

In our meeting last week, I was asked to draft a short summary to put 
out to a few alias/email lists to solicit participants. See below (short 
and to the point).

A new forum is being formed to facilitate and promote the ebXML 
(Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language) specifications, and 
their adoption and deployment. The ebXML Marketing and Adoption (M&A) 
Technical Committee (TC) will work with ebXML Joint Committee (JC), 
OASIS communications, current and future OASIS ebXML TCs and other 
organizations supporting or deploying ebXML specifications.

The new TC is soliciting sponsors and interested parties to participate 
in the support of ebXML adoption and deployment through promotion and 
marketing related activities. All OASIS ebXML TCs, non-OASIS ebXML 
standards groups and SOA implementers, vendors, eGovernment personnel 
and users are encouraged to consider joining this TC.

Working with OASIS, the group will create promotional, explanatory and 
marketing materials related to the implementation and adoption of ebXML 
including the ebXML.org, and coordinate with other parties or groups who 
contribute information for this site. The TC will also seek to create a 
users’ council to further support adoption and deployment.

The ebXML M&A TC will also work to align with relevant efforts of other 
organizations, such as RosettaNet, the Open Applications Group Inc. 
(OAGI) and the United Nations Centre for Trade Facilitation and 
eBusiness (UN/CEFACT) organization. Organizations developing or 
promoting ebXML methodologies will be invited to participate subject to 
OASIS rules.
