OASIS completes ANSI Accreditation to develop Standards designated ANS

I am pleased to announce that OASIS is now accredited by the
American National Standards Institute (ANSI). OASIS Standards are now eligible
for American National Standard (ANS) designation.

ANSI Accreditation is independent confirmation that the OASIS Process and
infrastructure adhere to the globally-accepted principles of transparency, balance
and openness that are the ANSI Essential Requirements.  ANSI is the latest well-known standards
organization to formally recognize the OASIS process; others include the
International Organization for Standardization (ISO), the International
Telecommunication Union (ITU), Joint Technical Committee 1 (JTC1) of ISO and
the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)

OASIS members are encouraged to consider the
benefits of ANS status for their specifications.  The process for submitting for ANS designation may be
engaged for all specifications developed in OASIS - past, present and future. The
specific steps necessary to submit work in compliance with the ANSI Essential
Requirements are recorded in the ANSI Addendum to the OASIS Liaison Policy. [1]  Staff is ready to help with the process.

Feel free to contact me with any questions or comments about this exciting new
opportunity for OASIS Standards,  

Scott
