Dear OASIS Colleagues,

I want to propose myself as a candidate for the LegalXML Member Section 
Steering
Committee in order to continue and reinforce the work already started
in the last two years as a member of the same Steering Committee.

In the current year, I have pursued several initiatives, including the
active participation by LegalXML OASIS in the following conferences:
- RuleML2011 symposium (Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA) with the participation 
of Jim Cabral.
- BID and UNDESA workshop, Brasilia, June 04-06, Regional Introduction

- UN/DESA workshop, Washington, Feb. 27-29, International Meeting: 
Achieving Greater
Transparency in Legislatures through the Use of Open Document Standards.

I have also started the work on two new Technical Committees,
about LegalRuleML and LegalDocML, which find great interest with
important players such as the European Parliament, the United Nations,
African Parliaments, Latin America Parliaments, etc.
