--QUOTE DEADLINE: Thursday 15 April--

OASIS Members:

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce
the

approval of the Web Services Security v1.0 (WS-Security 2004) Committee

Draft as an OASIS Standard. We have targeted Monday, 19 April, for

distribution.

While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our

technical work, we have a policy to list only Sponsor member companies
in

announcements directed to the press. The higher Sponsor member dues

underwrite the cost of promotional activities such as press releases. 

The WSS press release, therefore, will include the following statement:

***

Members of the OASIS WSS Technical Committee include representatives from

AmberPoint, BEA Systems, Betrusted, Commerce One, Computer Associates,

Documentum, Entrust, Fujitsu, HP, Hitachi, IBM, Microsoft, Netegrity,

Novell, Oblix, OpenNetwork, Oracle, Reactivity, RSA Security, SAP, Sarvega,

SeeBeyond Technology, Sun Microsystems, Verisign, and others.

***

If you represent a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like to send
a

quote on behalf of your organization in support of the WSS OASIS Standard,

please email that to me, including a name and title at your company to
whom

the quote can be attributed.

If you represent an organization listed above, and you do *not* want to
be

included in the press release, please notify me.

If your organization is not a Sponsor member of OASIS, and you would like
to

submit a quote for this press release, please contact Scott McGrath

() immediately for information on upgrading
your

membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

For details on WSS see:

**Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor quotes for the press release

is COB Thursday, 15 April**
