Approval of OASIS Digital Signature Services v1.0 as an OASIS Standard

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

To OASIS members:

     The ballot for approval of Digital Signature Services v1.0 as OASIS Standard, announced at [1], was completed with
sufficient affirmative votes to approve the specification. However, because there were negative votes, the Digital
Signature Services (DSS) Technical Committee was required to decide how to proceed, per the OASIS TC Process (at [2]).
The TC gave consideration to the negative votes but has voted to request the specification be approved. (See [3].)

     We are pleased, therefore, to announce that Digital Signature Services v1.0 has been approved as an OASIS Standard.
The submission of the approved standard can be found at [4].

     Congratulations to the TC, and the community of implementers, developers and users who have brought the work
successfully to culmination.

Mary
