OASIS Press Release to Announce Approval of DSS

--PLEASE NOTE QUOTE DEADLINE IS TUESDAY, 8 MAY--

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce the
approval of Digital Signature Services (DSS) v1.0 as an OASIS Standard. We have
targeted Thursday, 10 May, for distribution.

*Recognition*
While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our
technical work, only Foundational- and Sponsor-level members elect to receive
promotional benefits, such as inclusion in announcements directed to the press.
The DSS press release will contain the following statement:

"The DSS OASIS Standard was developed by representatives of BEA Systems,
CATCert-Agencia Catalana de Certificacio, IBM, Nokia, and others."

If you represent one of these organizations, and you do *not* wish to be
included in the press release, please notify me.

If you represent a Contributor-level organization participating in the OASIS
DSS TC, and you wish to receive visibility for your role in the development of
DSS, please contact  immediately for information on
upgrading your membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

*Quotes*
Any Foundational- or Sponsor-level member of OASIS may submit a quote in
support of the approval of DSS--you do not have to be a member of the OASIS DSS
TC. Please email quotes to me, including a name and title at your organization
to whom the quote can be attributed.

If your organization is not a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to
submit a quote for this press release, please contact
.
