[xml-dev] OASIS TC Call For Participation: Provisioning Services



A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS Provisioning
Services Technical Committee has been proposed by the following members
of OASIS: Gavenraj Sodhi, Access360; Adrian Viego, Business Layers;
Kelly Emo, Jamcracker; Winston Bumpus, Novell; Jeff Hodges, Oblix; Steve
Anderson, OpenNetwork; Frank Siebenlist, Sena Consulting; John Aisien,
Thor Technologies; Carlos Silva, VeriSign; and Darran Rolls, Waveset.

The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process
(see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml), and is appended to
this message. The proposal, which includes a statement of purpose, list
of deliverables, and proposed schedule, will constitute the TC's
charter. The TC Process allows these items to be clarified (revised) by
the TC members; such clarifications (revisions), as well as submissions
of technology for consideration by the TC and the beginning of technical
discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting.

To become a member of this new TC you must 1) be an employee of an OASIS
member organization or an Individual member of OASIS; 2) notify the TC
chair, Gavenraj Sodhi (gsodhi@access360.com), of your intent to
participate at least 15 days prior to the first meeting; and 3)
participate in the first meeting on 12 November, 2001. You should also
subscribe to the TC's discussion list. Note that membership in OASIS TCs
is by individual, and not by organization. You must be eligible for
participation at the time you time you notify the chair.

The private mail list provision@lists.oasis-open.org is for committee
discussions. TC members as well as any other interested OASIS members
should subscribe to the list by going to the mail list web page at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to
provision-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the
body of the message. (Note that subscribing to the mail list does not
make you a member of the TC; to become a member you must contact the TC
chair as described in the preceeding paragraph.)

A public comment list provision-comment@lists.oasis-open.org will be
available for the public to make comments on the work of this TC; the
public may subscribe to this list by going to the mail list web page at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to
provision-comment-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe"
as the body of the message.

The archives of both of these mail lists are visible to the public at
