Subject: RE: [ebxml-jc] discussion list, ebxml mktg - and WP outline
Does the JC feel strongly about naming this the 'OASIS ebXML Marketing & Adoption TC'? I'm concerned that the term 'Marketing' can be interpreted as hype or too much of a push effort for a serious standards organization. What we want to provide (and what the world is clamoring for) is reliable, objective information that will enable ebXML implementation. Would you consider just calling the effort the 'OASIS ebXML Adoption TC'? Just a thought, Carol ________________________________ From: Jacques Durand [mailto:JDurand@us.fujitsu.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 9:49 PM To: 'Matthew MacKenzie'; Jacques Durand Cc: 'James Bryce Clark'; ebxml-jc@lists.oasis-open.org; carol.geyer@oasis-open.org; karl.best@oasis-open.org Subject: RE: [ebxml-jc] discussion list, ebxml mktg - and WP outline Matt: Great, we have a list of potential participants (see below) and here is a little blurb below that we could send to them to invite them to this list. As JC chair I am willing to send them this invite . Please everyone review the text below. Note that the invitation requires only a short term committment, matching the duration of the discussion list (90 days) -------------------------------------- A new forum is being formed to facilitate and promote the ebXML (Electronic Business eXtensible Markup Language) specifications, and their adoption and deployment. In a first phase, a group mixing marketing, PR and technical expertise would gather informally and discuss possible actions. The group might also decide to initiate some concrete action or contribute ideas and material, depending on agreement and resources of each member's company. Participation in this group only requires a short-term committment of 3 months, and at a minimum, reasonable attendance to a weekly meeting of 1h, plus email discussion and occasional marketing action items depending on everyone availability. The first step is to sign-up to a discussion list hosted by OASIS, so please let us know if you or someone else in your company is willing to participate to this forum, at least to initial discussions. In a second phase, if a sufficient number of participants recommend to pursue further, depending on availability, resource, etc., there would be proposal to create an ebXML Marketing and Adoption (M&A) Technical Committee (TC) under OASIS. This TC will work with ebXML Joint Committee (JC), OASIS communications, current and future OASIS ebXML TCs and other organizations supporting or deploying ebXML specifications. A draft charter has already been written, but would certainly require review and updates by the TC sponsors. ------------------------------------ Can everyone tell me if there are other persons besides the @ below, we should send this to: (I assume several of us in JC may want to be on that list too) -------------- list of potential marketing helpers Cyclone: Joe Speed ( jspeed@cyclonecommerce.com) Fujitsu: Lisa Schiltz (LisaS@us.fujitsu.com) Iopsis: Rajesh Pradhan, founder, Rajesh Pradhan <rajesh@iopsis.com> Infravio: Ted Sanford, <tsanford@infravio.com> Smart Draw: David Webber, <david@drrw.info> Oxlo Systems: Dan Seats, <dan.seats@oxlo.com> ebXML Asia: Yukinori Saito, yukinori Saito <y-saito@ecom.jp> Indirect contacts: Farrukh.Najmi@sun.com (Farrukh Najmi, Sun) dnickull@adobe.com (Duane Nickull, Adobe) dick@tech-comm.com (Dick Brooks, independent, with lots of contacts in ebXML-using companies) -----Original Message----- From: Matthew MacKenzie [mailto:mattm@adobe.com] Sent: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 6:02 PM To: Jacques Durand Cc: 'James Bryce Clark'; ebxml-jc@lists.oasis-open.org; carol.geyer@oasis-open.org; karl.best@oasis-open.org Subject: Re: [ebxml-jc] discussion list, ebxml mktg - and WP outline I could run with the discussion list, although it doesn't seem to be a huge amount of work... -matt On 8-Sep-04, at 8:40 PM, Jacques Durand wrote: Thanks Jamie, Anyone willing to be the JC contact point for this discussion list? Here is also attached a white paper outline. If there is enough agreement (73% or more) on its structure, we could start assigning parts.

The requirements, which are fairly light, can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#discussionlists. I suggest that the JC identify a member to run with this, and that this person check in with my colleagues Karl Best (who is the creator of those lists) and Carol Geyer (who might have some very helpful suggestions on what to include in the brief official list description).
