UBL subcommittee reorganization: ubl-lsc

[jon.bosak@sun.com]

Hello members of the UBL Liaison SC,

Effective 1 June 2004, a number of UBL subcommittees, including
the Liaison Subcommittee, are ending operation as separate
entities.  This is part of a major reorganization intended to
promote better coordination of the many tasks associated with the
UBL effort.  For the TC decision and pointers to the discussion
leading up to it, see

The former LSC web page, documents, and mail archives will
continue to exist for purposes of reference, but all former
members of the SC will be removed from the SC roster in order to
deactivate the subcommittee.  You will therefore shortly receive a
message saying that you have been removed from the SC.  This is
merely a side-effect of retiring the SC, and it should have no
effect on your membership in UBL.

Liaisons to UBL from other organizations (including other OASIS
TCs) will henceforth report directly to the UBL TC in weekly
meetings, which are now held in separate sessions for the
convenience of members in Europe, the Americas, and Asia.  Since
you are on the UBL TC mailing list, you should be receiving weekly
notices of these meetings.  It is the hope of the TC that all
current liaisons will continue in this role and will attend the
appropriate weekly TC meeting to continue the working relationship
between UBL and the organizations they represent.
