Defined terms:
https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/oasis-defined-terms-2018-05-22

'bi. "Statement of Use", with respect to a Committee Specification or
Project Specification, is a written statement that a party has
successfully used or implemented that specification in accordance with
all or some of its conformance clauses, identifying those clauses that
apply, and stating whether its use included the interoperation of
multiple independent implementations. The Statement of Use must be made
to a specific version of the Specification and must include the
Specification's approval date. The party may be an OASIS Member or a
non-member. In case of a non-member, the Statement of Use must be
submitted via the Technical Committee's or Project Governing Board's
comment facility. A TC or PGB may require a Statement of Use to include
hyperlinks to documents, files or demonstration transcripts that enable
the committee's members to evaluate the implementation or usage. A
Statement of Use submitted to the TC or PGB must be approved by TC
Resolution or PGB action as an acceptable Statement of Use with respect
to the Specification. A party can only issue one Statement of Use for a
given specification. When issued by an OASIS Organizational Member, a
Statement of Use must be endorsed by the Organizational Member's Primary
Representative.'

3) a TC may resolve by Special Majority Vote to submit the Committee
Specification as a Candidate OASIS Standard.

4) At least one of the Statements of Use must come from an OASIS
Organizational Member.

5) The TC may decide to withdraw the submission, by Special Majority
Vote, at any time until the final approval.

6) The chair shall submit the request for the Special Majority Vote
using the request mechanism designated by the OASIS TC Administrator.
