Subject: Application to have oBIX proceed to becoming an OASIS standard
Committee Members: Now that oBIX is an OASIS Committee
Standard our next step is to proceed for vote as an OASIS standard. To do this
we are required to do a submission, have it reviewed by staff, and get votes
from 15% of OASIS members. There are a number of requirements involved to get
to this step including passing a public review which we have completed. The
one open issue we have is the completion of two additional “certifications”.
These are statements that you have looked at the protocol, not that you have
used it in a product. Applications are only accepted until the 15th
of the month. We got in for the December cycle – with the understanding
that we would get the remaining certifications in the next few days. Much thanks to OASIS staff for
working with us on this. The success of this project now rests on committee
members submitting the certifications and on our work to get general OASIS
support for the project. Our application is attached below. On a sad note, we are loosing our
technical committee chair, Aaron Hanson, as he move to a new career. Many
thanks to Aaron for his outstanding work and perseverance over the last three
years. It is the hard work that has been done by Aaron and the other technical
committee members that has gotten us to this point. Paul Ehrlich Co-Chair OASIS oBIX committee As Co-Chair of the oBIX (Open
