Subject: RE: [emergency] RE: EDXL-DE and misrepresentation in the market
I echo Carl's observations. This is occurring in two
different market segments and is creating a major obstacle in trying to obtain
consensus on the national level. We need to put a stop to this or we will spend
many hours untangling the confusion.

I hate to bring issues such as this up to the TC. However, it has come to
my attention that someone is representing EDXL-DE as an approved
OASIS standard in discussions and presentations. The representation as EDXL-DE
as an OASIS standard may not be intentional, just a result of enthusiasm.
Whatever the cause, this misrepresentation is causing confusion in the market to
the extent that they are potential policy implications.
Such confusion and misrepresentation does a disservice to
both the draft EDXL-DE specification and the OASIS standards setting
process. Having worked for a standards setting organization for almost 5
years, I am especially sensitive to these situations.
I can only ask that we all be careful in how we represent the ongoing
standards work in OASIS. Otherwise, we risk diminishing the effectiveness of our
collaborative standards setting process while at the same time creating
unnecessary conflict and confusion in the marketplace.
