   Karl Best says it's up to the member organizations to determine:

As to the meaning of "successfully using", well that's open to
interpretation, I guess. The TC Process doesn't define it, and maybe
that's for the best. It doesn't specify that this is part of a
shrink-wrapped product, demo, proof of concept, etc. I suppose it could
be any of those. You've just got to be successfully using the spec. So,
I won't try to clarify this, but will leave it up to the judgement of
the OASIS member organization to judge for themselves.
