OASIS Committee membership is held by a person (not an organization), is not transferable, and assumes current membership in the Consortium. When joining a Committee, a person chooses to participate as either an Observer or Committee Member, based on the participation and visibility benefits he or she desires. A Committee Member may become a Voting Member after basic attendance requirements are met.
