FW: OASIS Press Release to Announce DITA Adoption Committee

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

I just wanted to be sure everyone on the DITA XML.org EdBoard was aware of the
upcoming press release on the DITA Adoption Committee. Please note the quote
deadline of Wednesday, 16 July. 

Oversight of DITA XML.org will transition to the new Committee, so please join
the group as soon as you can. The EdBoard may organize as a Subcommittee or
simply be a work product of the main Committee--that will be up to the members.
I don't anticipate any major changes to the way the EdBoard has been operating,
although I'm hopeful we'll attract some new participation and support for DITA
XML.org.

Please contact me if you have any questions.

Thanks,
Carol
