Seeking voting WSS TC membership [Was: RE: Request to join Web Services Security TC Processed]

["Linn, John" <jlinn@rsasecurity.com>]

Steve,

I requested WSS TC membership through the on-line tools last Wednesday,
and received the attached message in reply.  Based on its text, I had
been awaiting another message to confirm that Member status had been
granted before requesting Voting Member status, but have so far received
nothing further concerning membership status though am now receiving WSS
list traffic. The OASIS site currently shows my status as "Applicant".
I'm also cc'ing Rob Philpott, my organization's primary OASIS
representative, who had not received a request to approve my
participation as of last Friday.  I would like to begin the process of
qualifying for Voting Member status on tomorrow's call (26 July); is
this possible?

Thanks, ...

Welcome to the Web Services Security TC. 

Your request to join has been processed.  Whether you requested
Prospective Membership or Observer status you should have automatically
been subscribed to the WSSTC e-mail list and you should start seeing
messages soon.

If you requested Prospective Membership, and you are an employee of an
OASIS member organization, an email has been sent to your organization's
primary OASIS representative.  Your primary representative must sent
email approval of your request for TC Membership to the TC chairs.
After receiving this approval, you will be granted TC Membership, with
all the related IPR obligations.  If you are an Individual Member of
OASIS, no approval is necessary to become a TC Member.

After becoming a TC Member, if you would like Voting Member status, you
must make a separate request via email to the TC chairs and myself.  You
will then begin a probationary period which lasts until the close of the
third TC meeting or 60 days, which ever comes first.  During this
probationary period, you must attend 2 out of 3 meetings, or your
probationary period will end, and you will remain a non-voting Member.
Upon successful completion of the probationary period, you will receive
formal notification of your Voting Member status.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or
Kelvin Lawrence or Chris Kaler, the WSS TC co-chairs.

Regards
Steve Anderson
