OASIS Members:

Standards: ebXML Registry Information Model (RIM) v3.0 and ebXML Registry 
Services and Protocols (RS) v3.0

Ballot:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballot.php?id=748

The Committee Drafts have had their required 30 day public review, and the 
review materials were sent out to the membership of OASIS for the required 
15-day familiarization period.  (Those materials can be found at 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200504/msg00003.html.)  As 
the required review and familiarization periods have now been completed, it 
is time to vote.  The applicable section of the OASIS TC Process is at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process_2003.09.18.php#standard.

Voting to approve the work product of our Technical Committees is a key 
step in the OASIS process, to better assure our broader user community of 
the quality and applicability of the methods our TCs create.  We strongly 
encourage each member organization to consider the works submitted for 
approval, and participate by casting a ballot.

As each OASIS member organization has only one vote, participating 
employees of your organization should provide their input to you, their 
voting representative, so that you can decide how to vote on behalf of your 
organization.  We tell them so, on our general [members] list, concurrently 
with this message.

The voting representative from each OASIS member organization should submit 
the organization's vote by 11:45 p.m. Eastern Standard Time (US) 30 April 
2005. Voting will be conducted using the OASIS member database tools. To 
cast your ballots, go to the Voting group ballot page at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/voting/ballots.php. You will 
need to log-in to the database tools in order to cast your ballots; if you 
have not yet obtained your username and password please contact Scott 
McGrath (scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) for help.

You may change your ballot until the time that balloting closes. Ballots 
will be publicly archived. Comments may be made but are not solicited as 
the specifications already have been subject to public review.

Regards JBC
