Re: [security-jc] submission of OASIS work to ITU-T

["Phillip H. Griffin" <phil.griffin@asn-1.com>]

In order to make our comments on the MoU MG Annex A issue a
bit easier, I have reformatted the original document using the OASIS
template. This will allow comment and discussion by line number.

Since some of you may not have been on the chairs or TAB list when
the call for comments was posted, I've included that message below.

I will try to post some initial suggestions for changes in Annex A before
our next telephone meeting set for January 9th 2003 at 12 noon EST.

----- Chairs TAB message 12/17/2002 -----

Chairs, TAB:

As you're probably aware, OASIS is a member of the ISO/ITU/IEC/UN-ECE 
Memorandum of Understanding on e-Business standards -- also known as the 
MoU. The purpose of this group is to coordinate the development of 
e-business specifications among the member organizations. An on-going 
project of the MoU is tracking what organizations are doing in the area.

I would like your input as to which of the topic areas are covered by 
work of OASIS TCs.

The attached is Annex A of the MoU document, which lists the development 
areas of the various MoU members. (The table that comprises Attachment 
2, starting on p.7, is probably the best place to start.)

If your TC is doing work applicable to e-business, please read through 
this document and let me know where your TC should be mentioned. I need 
to get this information back to the MoU secretariat by the end of 
January, so if you could respond to me by mid January I'll have time to 
compile the results.

thanks

-Karl
