Subject: OASIS NEWS 10.20.04
OASIS NEWS 20 October 2004 Welcome to OASIS News, a weekly update of announcements, accomplishments, and activities for the international standards consortium. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Review Revised OASIS Membership Agreement Draft All members are asked to review proposed revisions to the OASIS Membership Agreement and provide feedback. The revisions seek to meet the contractual expectations from a variety of cultures and jurisdictions. Instead of the current click-through application form, the new Membership Agreement will require a physical or electronic signature. The renewal process promises to be much more streamlined, eliminating the requirement of a formal legal review every year. Like the proposed revisions to the OASIS IPR Policy and Technical Process, the end result of these changes to the Membership Agreement will ensure the safety of adopting OASIS Standards around the world. http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/members-only/download.php/9699/request_member_agreement_review.pdf --------------------------------------------------------------------- OASIS Standard Vote on UBL and WS-Reliability Ends Soon OASIS members are strongly encouraged to cast ballots on two Committee Drafts that have been submitted for consideration as OASIS Standards; Universal Business Language (UBL) v1.0 and WS-Reliability v1.1. UBL defines a common XML library of business documents (purchase orders, invoices, etc). WS-Reliability establishes an interoperable way to guarantee message delivery to applications or Web services. Voting ends 31 Oct 2004. http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200410/msg00007.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Join New OASIS Discussion List on ebXML Adoption A new discussion list has been created to explore the possibility of creating one or more new OASIS Technical Committees related to the adoption of ebXML. The discussion list will last up to 90 days, during which time participants will decide if there is sufficient interest to form a TC. To subscribe to the discussion list, send a message to: ebxml-adoption-discuss-subscribe@lists.oasis-open.org http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200410/msg00005.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- Join OASIS DCML Member Section The OASIS DCML Member Section (MS) is seeking participation from all those interested in advancing the Data Center Markup Language (DCML). Every organization that joins or renews membership in OASIS has the option to designate support for one or more MSs. Members are encouraged to join the OASIS DCML MS if they find benefit in funding DCML work through an allocation of a portion of their usual OASIS dues and voting on MS ballots. OASIS members need not select an MS in order to participate in its related TCs related, nor will selecting an MS restrict involvement in any way. The deadline to declare affiliation with the OASIS DCML MS is 30 Oct; following that date, members may join the OASIS DCML MS -- or any other MS -- at their annual membership renewal date. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Posting Company New to XML.org One of the benefits of OASIS Sponsor membership is the ability to distribute company news and announcements via XML.org. Press releases and other information sent to the OASIS "Announce" mailing list will be automatically posted on the XML.org homepage, as well as linked to the member's web site. To post information, send a plain text e-mail containing your announcement and a link to the full release to: announce@lists.oasis-open.org http://www.oasis-open.org/private/promotion.php --------------------------------------------------------------------- Briefings with Robin Cover at XML 2004 OASIS members are invited to schedule a 30-minute briefing with Robin Cover, industry analyst and managing editor of the Cover Pages, at XML 2004 in Washington DC, 15-17 Nov.
