Re: OASIS & SAIC - Search WS TC Release

["Ray Denenberg, Library of Congress" <rden@loc.gov>]

Hi Carol -

We do now have three Sponsor-level members (or "Sponsor-or-higher-level", as
one, IBM,  is a foundational member, I assume that counts):

1. Australian Department of Education, Science and Training (DEST)
2. IBM
3. Booz, Allen, Hamilton.

So a press release about the TC would be appropriate, and in fact timely.
Please see related message 'Search WS TC "Discussion Document" ' (which I am
posting concurrently).   A press release  could be coordinated with release
of our planned "Discussion Document".

Thanks.

--Ray
