Press Release to Announce SPML as OASIS Standard

["Dee Schur" <dee.schur@oasis-open.org>]

--PLEASE NOTE QUOTE DEADLINE IS MONDAY, 17 NOV--

OASIS Members:

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce
SPML as an OASIS Standard. We have targeted Wednesday, 19 November, for
distribution.

While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our
technical work, we have a policy to list only Sponsor member companies
in announcements directed to the press. The higher Sponsor member dues
underwrite the cost of promotional activities such as press releases.

The "SPML V1.0 Becomes OASIS Standard" press release, therefore, will
include the following statement:

"Members of the OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee (PSTC)
include
Abridean, BEA Systems, BMC Software, Business Layers, Computer Associates,
Entrust, IBM, Microsoft, Netegrity, OpenNetwork, TruLogica, Waveset, and
others."

If you represent a company listed above, please notify me only if you do
NOT wish to have your company name featured. If you would like to send a
quote on behalf of your company in support of SPML, please email that to
me, including a name and title at your company to whom the quote can be
attributed.

If you are a Sponsor member of OASIS, but not active in this TC, and you
would like to submit a company quote in support of SPML, please email
your quote to me, including a name and title at your company to whom the
quote can be attributed.

If your company is not a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to
submit a quote for this press release, please contact Scott McGrath
(scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) immediately for information on upgrading
your membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

release is COB Monday, 17 November**
