Subject: OASIS Call for Participation: ebXML-CORE


To:  OASIS members & interested parties

   A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS ebXML Core
(ebCore) Technical Committee has been proposed by the members of OASIS listed
below. The proposal, below, meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process [a].
The TC name, statement of purpose, scope, list of deliverables, audience, and
language specified in the proposal will constitute the TC's official charter.
Submissions of technology for consideration by the TC, and the beginning of
technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting.

   This TC will operate under our 2005 IPR Policy [b]. The eligibility
requirements for becoming a participant in the TC at the first meeting (see
details below) are that:

   (a) you must be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an individual
member of OASIS;
   (b) the OASIS member must sign the OASIS membership agreement [c];
   (c) you must notify the TC chair of your intent to participate at least 7
days prior to the first meeting, which members may do by using the "Join this
TC" button on the TC's public page at [d]; and
   (d) you must attend the first meeting of the TC, at the time and date fixed
below.

Of course, participants also may join the TC at a later time. OASIS and the TC
welcomes all interested parties.

   Non-OASIS members who wish to participate may contact us about joining OASIS
[c]. In addition, the public may access the information resources maintained for
each TC: a mail list archive, document repository and public comments facility,
which will be linked from the TC's public home page at [d].

CALL FOR PARTICIPATION
OASIS the ebXML Core (ebCore) TC

(1)(a) Name of the TC
OASIS ebXML Core (ebCore) TC

CORE - Continuity, Outreach, Readiness, Enhancements

(1)(b) Statement of purpose:
The ebXML Core TC is to be the maintenance group for ebXML TC specifications as
these specifications are completed or transitioned to the ebXML Core TC. TCs
eligible for maintenance by the ebXML Core TC are ebXML Messaging, ebXML CPPA,
ebXML ebBP, ebXML IIC, and ebXML RegRep. The ebXML Core TC will provide the
means to manage clarifications, modifications, and enhancements for the
specifications that ebXML TCs have either completed and/or turned over as work
in progress for completion through the OASIS standards process. The ebXML Core
TC may issue errata for specifications that they maintain and may complete
reviews and changes required by editor's on committee drafts received by the TC
for completion. 

The ebXML Core TC may form subcommittees to provide focus for specific
specification tasks as they arise. The ebXML Core TC may lead the formation of
charters for new ebXML TCs for major new versions of specifications. The TC may
also produce new conformance profiles and adjunct documents complementing
existing specifications. The ebXML Core TC will solicit new end user
requirements as well as implementation enhancements and change requests. The TC
will also explore synergies with UN/CEFACT, WS-* specifications and SOA best
practices. The ebXML Core TC may update schemas, examples, specifications and
other products of ebXML TC activities. The ebXML Core TC will also provide
information services for the ebXML.xml.org site and for OASIS Webinars and other
informational activities.

1(c) Scope:
The ebXML Core TC is to be the maintenance group for ebXML TC specifications as
these specifications are completed or transitioned to the ebXML Core TC. TCs
eligible for maintenance by the ebXML Core TC are ebXML Messaging, ebXML CPPA,
ebXML ebBP, ebXML IIC, and ebXML RegRep.

Explicitly Out-of-scope:
The ebXML Core TC will not accept work unrelated to the  maintenance and
enhancement of the ebXML specifications or related documents.

(1)(d) Deliverables:
At the time of formation of the ebXML Core TC, the following work items are
anticipated:
1. ebXML CPPA version 3 drafts for committee and public reviews, modifications,
and for marshalling through the OASIS standardization process. A transition of
the ebCPPA TC is expected to be approved upon formation of the ebXML Core TC.
Projected completion date: July 2009.

2. ebXML IIC drafts and working documents will be maintained in a to be decided
manner upon being made available from the ebXML IIC TC. These documents contain
material for facilitating adoption of existing ebXML standards, such as test
suites and deployment profiles. Projected completion date: July 2009.

3. ebXML ebBP maintenance may result in either errata, a new minor version, or a
charter for a new major version when change requests based on implementation
experience, new use cases for the models, or requests for enhancements has
reached critical thresholds. The precise course of action will depend upon
uptake by implementers and users of the current version 2 specification. The
ebXML ebBP TC will consider its transition after the formation of the ebXML Core
TC. Projected completion date: July 2009.

4. ebXML ebMS version 3 conformance profiles in addition to those completed by
the current ebXML ebMS TC may be produced following the transition of the ebMS
TC to the Core TC. Projected completion date: July 2009.

5. ebXML RegRep is continuing major version work on its own, but is eligible to
transition to maintenance within the Core TC for errata and further enhancements
after formation of the ebXML Core TC 6. Profiles and adjunct documents that
complement and enhance existing specifications.

6. Profiles and adjunct documents that complement and enhance existing
