Members of existing OASIS ebXML TCs:

     As many of you already are aware, we are pleased to welcome most of 
the editing team for the ebXML BPSS to the OASIS technical committee 
announced below.  We look forward to its success in maintaining and 
updating a modular, interoperable and vendor-neutral ebXML business process 
standard.
     Attached below is the message from my colleague OASIS CEO Patrick 
Gannon, announcing this effort to the wide community of supporters and 
interested parties who have worked with us to develop and implement ebXML 
during the project's first four years.
     We are grateful for your continuing time and effort in support of the 
project.

>Today, OASIS sent the attached Call for Participation to our members.  We 
>felt that those organizations who have actively worked with OASIS over the 
>past four years during the development and deployment of the ebXML open 
>standards would want to know about additional ebXML work being continued 
>at OASIS.
>
>In late August, CEFACT announced that they reached the successful 
>completion of their portion of the ebXML project. At that time, CEFACT 
>announced their plans to pursue a technology-neutral business framework 
>program. As OASIS continues to successfully advance the body of ebXML 
>specifications--Messaging, Registry, and CPP/A, it is logical for ebXML 
>BPSS supporters to also want to continue development of an XML-specific 
>implementation of BPSS at OASIS.
>
>Most of the initial participants in the CEFACT ebXML BPSS project and 
>co-editors of the most recent drafts have helped to form the OASIS ebBP TC 
>-- which will continue work on ebXML BPSS, starting from the version 1.01 
>specification jointly developed by OASIS and CEFACT.
>
>The new OASIS ebBP TC will commence work under the open process of OASIS 
>that will effectively advance the standard and future enhancements, as 
>well as maintain the core premises of the ebXML architecture: 
>interoperability, modularity, and use of XML. Further development of this 
>specification at OASIS will also enable greater industry participation and 
>coordination across the ebXML specifications. We also expect this to help 
>increase the coordination between ebBP and other OASIS specifications.
>
>The audience for participation in this work includes the business analyst, 
>enterprise developer or business process user, particularly those 
>interested in the use of the openly available ebXML stack of 
>specifications. Industry user groups, industry standards groups and 
>end-users are encouraged to participate and to contribute feature requests 
>that would make the sequencing constructs valuable for their specialized 
>business needs and issues. ISV technologists wishing to contribute under 
>royalty-free terms to one of the most crucial specifications in the ebXML 
>family also are urged to join. All current users of the ebXML framework 
>who can best provide usability and interoperability feedback likewise are 
>very much welcome as participants and contributors.
>
>Since OASIS members continue to support ongoing development and adoption 
>of the ebXML standards, we will continue to actively promote the global 
>implementation of the family of ebXML standards.  In addition, OASIS 
>supports more than nine (9) technical committees advancing specifications 
>for Web Services, including:
>- Universal Description, Discovery and Integration Specification (UDDI Spec),
>- Web Services for Remote Portlets (WSRP), - Web Services Security (WSS),
>- Web Services Distributed Management (WSDM),
>- Web Services Reliable Messaging (WSRM),
>- Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL),
>- Web Services Composite Application Framework (WS-CAF),
>- Framework for Web Services Implementation (FWSI),
>- Translation Web Services,
>plus the numerous other security and vocabulary standards that are being 
>developed and deployed in web services environments.
>
>Together, this work in ebXML and web services provides the user 
>communities represented by your organizations with a broad range of 
>Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) related standards to choose 
>from.  Many of your organizations are working with OASIS to develop 
>industry-specific implementation profiles from this range of eBusiness 
>framework standards. We welcome your suggestions on any future activities 
>that we can do to assist your organization in the advancement of open 
>standards for eBusiness.

>A FAQ for the ebBP TC is available at
>[http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-bp/faq.php].
>Other information on implementations is available from the ebXML website, 
>[http://www.ebxml.org].

>Please direct any questions to myself and Carol Geyer, OASIS Director of 
>Communications. We welcome your participation in this effort at OASIS and 
>appreciate your support of the ebXML activities over the past four years.
