>holding committee meetings in conjunction with the event. We do hope this
>will again be a beneficial collaboration full of networking and

>meetings is attached and will be posted on the TC Symposium Information web
>page:

>~TC LIGHTNING ROUNDS - DESIGNATE REPRESENTATIVE BY 1 APRIL
>As you all know, the Symposium will once again feature TC Lightning Round
>Updates. It will promise to be a great opportunity to educate the members,
>potential members, and the OASIS Board of Directors on what your TC has
>accomplished. Each TC should designate one representative to deliver a short
>(3-4 slides/2-3 minute) presentation. Once your TC has designated this
>representative, please forward their name and contact information directly
>to me at jane.harnad@oasis-open.org. If a TC representative will not be
>present at the event, we ask that you please provide materials for an OASIS
>staff person in advance. Note: A TC representative or OASIS staff person
>will speak on behalf of each OASIS TC during this Lightning Round Update.
>
>~TWO SPECIAL BRIEFINGS FOR TC MEMBERS - ALL TC MEMBERS INVITED:
>
>TIPS FOR EFFECTIVELY CHAIRING AN OASIS COMMITTEE
>Sunday, 15 April - 4:00-5:30
>
>OASIS staff will join new, existing, and prospective TC leaders to discuss
>issues surrounding TC Process, IPR, Kavi, membership, InterOps, publicity,
>certification and testing, and more. We'll share information about how to
>build consensus, promote adoption, cope with legal realities, grow support
>inside and outside OASIS, and take advantage of Consortium resources. All TC
>chairs, secretaries, and editors are strongly encouraged to attend this
>session. Anyone with an interest in a leadership role in a new or existing
>TC is also welcome. There is no cost to attend this workshop; however,
>advance sign-up is required.
>
>THINGS EVERY TC EDITOR SHOULD KNOW
>Sunday, 15 April - 2:00-3:30
>
>Learn about the new OASIS specification templates, checklists, tools, and
>help pages - all designed to make your job as editor easier. Explore the
>OASIS publication rules, gain useful tips on best practices, and discover
>what it takes to get the TC Administration Seal of Approval on your
>Committee Drafts and Committee Specifications. This workshop is for anyone
>who authors, edits, or maintains TC specifications and other work products.
>
>~BOOK DISPLAY AND RAFFLE
>
>There is a growing body of books that feature technical and executive-level
>information on OASIS Standards and specifications. The Symposium Book Table
>will showcase these books at a display in the registration area. This is not
>a book sale, but an opportunity to give attendees a first-hand look at the
>range of available titles. A handout listing all books, including
>information on purchasing options, will be provided. Books will be on
>display during the Symposium and raffled off to attendees at the end of the
>event. Authors, publishers, or collectors interested in donating books
>should contact events@oasis-open.org by 1 April.
>
>Symposium registrations are increasing daily. The early-bird discount ends
>19 MARCH. Please help us continue the momentum by forwarding out notices to
>all TC members, prospects, and other related email lists. Please feel free
>to also post the Symposium web address
>(http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium/2007/index.php) on your company
>web site. If you have any lists or prospects that you would like us to
>forward information to, please send those ideas directly to me at
>jane.harnad@oasis-open.org.
>
>Thank you again for reviewing all the above and please feel free to call or
