Subject: RE: [announce] New SOA Standards white paper


I am bemused as to how "OASIS" has authored such a document without the involvement of Technical Committees that may have a stake in such a paper. I believe the SOA-RM TC approved this document, but I don't remember other OASIS Members or TCs having the chance to review and comment. 

Without diminishing the work of the SOA-RM TC, I would request that  a disclaimer is added to this document to reflect that this represents the views of one TC and not necessarily the view of all OASIS Members.

Regards,
  Martin.

OASIS SCA Assembly Co-Chair.
