Subject: Open Composite Services Architecture Member Section Launches


We are pleased to announce formation of the OASIS Open Composite Services
Architecture (Open CSA) Member Section. This new group within OASIS will
work to advance open standards that simplify SOA application development. 

Open CSA will oversee several new OASIS TCs that will be chartered to
promote the further development and adoption of the Service Component
Architecture (SCA) and Service Data Objects (SDO) families of
specifications.  SCA helps organizations more easily design and transform IT
assets into reusable services that can be rapidly assembled to meet changing
business requirements. SDO lets application programmers uniformly access and
manipulate data from heterogeneous sources, including relational databases,
XML data sources, Web services, and enterprise information systems. Initial
versions of these specifications will be contributed by the Open SOA
Collaboration. Charters for these new TCs will be available for member
comment in the coming weeks.

OASIS Members may designate affiliation with Open CSA by having have their
Primary Representative notify member-services@oasis-open.org. There is no
additional cost to affiliate with Open CSA and no dues allocations will be
made for this Member Section. Organizations that affiliate with Open CSA
will be eligible to vote for the Member Section Steering Committee and will
be recognized on the Member Section web site.

The Open CSA Member Section Steering Committee will consist of seven
members. Initially, four seats will be filled by representatives from BEA
Systems, IBM, Oracle, and SAP, each of whom will serve a term of two years.
Elections will be held to fill the three remaining seats. To ensure
consistency of management, those elected to these three seats initially will
serve one year terms with subsequent election for terms of two years.

Steering Committee nominations will be accepted 11 April 2007 through 25
April 2007.  The nomination process is detailed at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/opencsa-ms/200703/msg00000.html 

More information on Open CSA can be found at the Member Section web site
(currently under construction) at http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/
