Subject:   OASIS TC Call For Participation: Provisioning Services

A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS Provisioning Services Technical Committee has been proposed by the following members of OASIS: Gavenraj Sodhi, Access360; Adrian Viego, Business Layers; Kelly Emo, Jamcracker; Winston Bumpus, Novell; Jeff Hodges, Oblix; Steve Anderson, OpenNetwork; Frank Siebenlist, Sena Consulting; John Aisien, Thor Technologies; Carlos Silva, VeriSign; and Darran Rolls, Waveset.

The proposal for a new TC meets the requirements of the OASIS TC Process (see http://oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml), 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 interim chair, Darran Rolls (Darran.Rolls@waveset.com), of your intent to participate at least 15 days prior to the first meeting; and 3) participate in the first meeting on 12 November, 2001. You should also subscribe to the TC's discussion 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.

The private mail list provision@lists.oasis-open.org is for committee discussions. TC members as well as any other interested OASIS members should subscribe to the list by going to the mail list web page at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to provision-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message. (Note that subscribing to the mail list does not make you a member of the TC; to become a member you must contact the TC chair as described in the preceeding paragraph.)

A public comment list provision-comment@lists.oasis-open.org will be available for the public to make comments on the work of this TC; the public may subscribe to this list by going to the mail list web page at http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl, or by sending a message to provision-comment-request@lists.oasis-open.org with the word "subscribe" as the body of the message.

The archives of both of these mail lists are visible to the public at http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/
