The Conclusion of 1.0 and Continuation of 2.0...

provision message

As I am sure many of you already know, on Monday 3rd our 1.0 committee specification was accepted as an OASIS Standard. Final docs and suitable web site updates have been published today. Congratulations to all who participated in this effort and to everyone who contributed time, effort (and their companies money ;-) to make this happen.

Now that 1.0 is complete, we can truly focus on the 2.0 effort. At the highest level, the main goal of 2.0 is to further the adoption of a single set of provisioning standards with the support of the broadest majority of OASIS members and the acceptance of the industry at large. We have take some very encouraging steps towards this goal with the member submissions made last month. We have already starting to see a renewed focus of this TC as the forum for bringing provisioning standards to the market, it is our challenge to continue this process and through the delicate balance of technology and politics, to bring forward an updated specification that meets the needs of a widening forum.

So, well done everyone. Thank you again for your previous and continued contributions and I very much look forward to continuing to work with each of you throughout the 2.0 process.
