A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS Management Protocol Technical Committee has been proposed by the following members of OASIS: Andrea Westerinen, Cisco; Krishna Sankar, Cisco; Dick Spellman, Sun; Anand Akela, HP; Srinivas Vadhri, CommerceOne; Aravinda Gollapudi, Verisign; Dennis Ho, Iona; Jim Willits, HP; Robert Baafi, Iona; and Winston Bumpus, Novell.
The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process (see http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml#sec1c), and is appended to this message. The proposal, which includes a statement of purpose, list of deliverables, and proposed schedule, will constitute the TC's charter. The TC Process allows these items to be clarified (revised) by the TC members; such clarifications (revisions), as well as submissions of technology for consideration by the TC and the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the TC's first meeting.
To become a member of this new TC you must 1) be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an Individual member of OASIS; 2) notify the TC chair, Winston Bumpus (wbumpus@novell.com), of your intent to participate at least 15 days prior to the first meeting; and 3) participate in the first meeting on 31 July. You should also subscribe to the TC's mail list. Note that membership in OASIS TCs is by individual, and not by organization. You must be eligible for participation at the time you time you notify the chair.
