Subject: FW: [chairs] TC Chair Update on the OASIS Symposium
Update on the OASIS Symposium. We will need 3-4 slides for the TC Lightning Round session for a 2-3 minute presentation on what the TC is doing, status of documents, etc. We also need to designate the person who will do this short Lightning Round session. I will add this to the agenda for our meeting Thursday morning.

Enclosed are a couple updates and reminders: ~EARLY-BIRD REGISTRATION DISCOUNT ENDS 1 APRIL - THIS FRIDAY http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/registration.php ~HOTEL RESERVATION ROOM BLOCK DEADLINE IS 1 APRIL http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/hotel_info.php ~TECHNICAL COMMITTEE MEETINGS (TCs) We would like to once again thank all those TCs that are supporting the Symposium by holding committee meetings in conjunction with the event. We do hope this will again be a beneficial collaboration full of networking and communication not only for your TC, but between TCs. A complete list of TC meetings are posted on the event web site at http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/tc_meetings.php. ~TC LIGHTNING ROUNDS - 26 April beginning at 4:45 PM As you all know, the Symposium will feature TC Lightning Round Updates. It will promise to be a great opportunity to educate the members, potential members, and the OASIS Board of Directors on what your TC has accomplished. Each TC should designate one representative to deliver a short (3-4 slides/2-3 minute) presentation. Once your TC has designated this representative, please forward their name and contact information directly to me at jane.harnad@oasis-open.org. If a TC representative will not be present at the event, we ask that you please provide materials for an OASIS staff person in advance. Note: A TC representative or OASIS staff person will speak on behalf of each OASIS TC during this Lightning Round Update. ~CHAIR WORKSHOP - BEYOND ROBERT'S RULES: EFFECTIVELY CHAIRING AN OASIS COMMITTEE OASIS staff will join new, existing, and prospective TC leaders to discuss issues surrounding TC Process, IPR, Kavi, membership, InterOps, publicity, certification and testing, and more. All TC chairs, secretaries, and editors are strongly encouraged to attend this session. Anyone with an interest in a leadership role in a new or existing TC is also welcome. Please signup using the online registration form at http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/registration.php. ~SYMPOSIUM BOOK TABLE There is a growing body of books that feature technical and executive-level information on OASIS Standards and specifications. The Symposium Book Table will showcase these books at a display in the registration area. This is not a book sale, but an opportunity to give attendees a first-hand look at the range of available titles. A handout listing all books, including information on purchasing options, will be provided. Books will be on display for two days during the Symposium and raffled off to attendees at the reception following the AGM. Authors, publishers, or collectors interested in donating books should contact jane.harnad@oasis-open.org by 1 APRIL. ~PROMOTION Symposium registrations are increasing daily. The early-bird discount ends 1 APRIL - THIS FRIDAY. Please help us continue the momentum by forwarding out notices and/or the enclosed Flyer to all TC members, prospects, and other related email lists. Please feel free to also post the flyer or Symposium web address (http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium_2005/index.php) on your company web site. If you have any lists or prospects that you would like us to forward information to, please send those ideas directly to me at jane.harnad@oasis-open.org. Thank you again for reviewing all the above and please feel free to call or email me directly with any questions. We look forward to seeing you in New Orleans.
