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

Hi Monica:

Overall that sounds good to me - a couple of minor comments:

- Although I have nothing against the name "Marketing and Adoption"
wouldn't "Marketing and Promotion" be more accurate for the role of this TC?

- "... will also work to align with relevant efforts of other
organizations, such as RosettaNet, the Open Applications Group Inc. ..."
Could be more cautiously (or more precisely?) replaced by:
"will interact with B2B user orgs such as RosettaNet, OAG.... to facilitate
the alignment of ebXML TCs with these communities, e.g. by creating opportunities
for joint demonstrations and requirement gathering. "

Cheers,

Jacques

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

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.
