["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

Upon the request by eligible participants I have created an OASIS
Discussion List whose purpose is to discuss the creation of an OASIS
Technical Committee. Discussion on the list will begin in seven days to
give everyone a chance to subscribe, and the list and its archive will
be deleted after 90 days. The list is

    mgmtservice-discuss@lists.oasis-open.org

The proposal for the formation of the list is below.

In order to participate in the discussions on these topics you should
subscribe to the discussion list using the subscription form at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl or by sending a message to

    mgmtservice-discuss-request@lists.oasis-open.org

with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message. OASIS membership
is not required in order to subscribe to this list. If you do not wish
to subscribe but wish to view the discussion you may view the list
archives at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/

We  request the formation of an OASIS Management Services Technical
Committee Discussion List.

This discussion list will be formed to establish consensus on the
creation of a Management Services Technical Committee. The proposed
initial scope of this committee will be to develop an open industry
standard management protocol to provide a web-based mechanism to monitor
and control managed elements in a distributed environment based on
industry accepted management models, methods, and operations, including
XML, SOAP,  DMTF CIM, and DMTF CIM Operations

The eligible persons proposing this Discussion List are:
Winston Bumpus -  Novell, Inc. - wbumpus@novell.com
Richard Spellman - Sun - richard.spellman@sun.com
Andrea Westerinen - Cisco - andreaw@cisco.com
Krishna Sankar - Cisco - ksankar@cisco.com

Winston Bumpus will be the initial discussion leader.
