[Mike Edwards]

Folks, As mentioned on the last TOSCA TC conference call, I propose that the TOSCA TC establishes a liaison relationship with both: o the ISO JTC1 SC38 WG3, responsible for Cloud Computing standards in the ISO standards organization o the ITU-T SG13 WP6, responsible for Cloud Computing standards in ITU-T standards organization Liaison is about making them aware of the activities within the TOSCA TC and them letting us know about their activities. I believe that the TOSCA specification work is directly relevant to the work of these committees. To achieve this, I think we need a simple vote within the TOSCA TC to establish the liaison, which is then followed by a letter to the appropriate person in each organization.  A sample of such a letter, as used by the OASIS BIAS TC to set up a liaison with the ISO JTC1 SC37 WG2 Biometrics group is available here: https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/bias/download.php/38177/Request%20for%20Liaison%20with%20SC37.pdf For SC38 WG3, the chair is Mr Don Deutsch of Oracle and the secretariat is Ms Marisa Peacock and they can be contacted via mpeacock@ansi.org For SG13 WP6, the chair is Mr Jamil Chawki of France Telecom Orange and the secretariat is Tatiana Kurakova and they can be contacted via: tatiana.kurakova@itu.int Once the liaisons are established, the TOSCA TC will need to appoint a liaison officer to each of these organizations, to conduct communications between the TOSCA and the target group.  As said on the call, I am prepared to act in this capacity, if no-one else would like to take on the role.
