To: members@lists.oasis-open.org

OASIS members,
We are pleased to announce that OASIS and the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) TC154 have established a formal liaison
relationship that will strengthen our ability to collaborate on
technical work.

OASIS is now a Class A Liaison member of the ISO TC154, and ISO TC154
has joined OASIS a Contributor. While OASIS and ISO have long had many
active members in common, this new liaison relationship grants official
representatives from each organization the right to participate in
technical discussions of the other.

With its focus on e-business, ISO TC154 is involved in work that relates
to many OASIS TCs. We expect the OASIS UBL, BTP and ebXML TCs, in
particular, to benefit from increased participation in TC154 and visa
versa.

This announcement follows recent news of OASIS' liaison with the ISO/IEC
JTC1/SC34, and OASIS' inclusion in the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU)
on Electronic Business with ISO, International Electrotechnical
Commission (IEC), the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), and
the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UN/ECE).

OASIS TCs who feel their work would profit from liaison relationships
like this--whether with ISO TC154 or with other standards setting
bodies--should contact Karl Best (karl.best@oasis-open.org) for more
information.
