[OASIS members] Press Release to Annouce OASIS Digital SignatureServices TC

[Carol Geyer <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS Members:

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce
the new OASIS Digital Signature Services Technical Committee. We have
targeted Thursday, 24 October, for distribution.

While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our
technical work, we have a policy to list only Sponsor member companies
in announcements directed to the press. The higher Sponsor member dues
underwrite the cost of promotional activities such as press releases.
All OASIS Digital Signature Services TC members--Sponsors, Contributors,
and Individuals--will be listed in OASIS member communications and on
the OASIS web site.

The OASIS Digital Signature Services TC press release, therefore, will
include the following statement:

"Entrust, NIST, webMethods, TIBCO, and others will collaborate to
advance the Digital Signature Services specification within OASIS."

If you represent a company listed above, please notify me only if you do
NOT wish to have your company name featured. If you would like to send a
quote on behalf of your company in support of this new TC, please email
that to me, including a name and title at your company to whom the quote
can be attributed.

If your company is not a Sponsor member, and you would like to be
featured as a major participant in the OASIS Digital Signature Services
TC press release, please contact Scott McGrath
(scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org) for information on upgrading your
membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

If you are interested in joining the new OASIS Digital Signature
Services TC, please notify the TC chair, Robert Zuccherato of Entrust
(robert.zuccherato@entrust.com). Sponsors should also notify me if they
would like to be included in the press announcement.

For details on the new TC, see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200210/msg00002.html.

**Our absolute deadline for accepting Sponsor quotes for the press
release is COB Tuesday, 22 October.**

Carol
