                        Inclusion in OASIS Press Releases
                       
                         While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our technical work, only Sponsor member companies are listed and quoted in announcements directed to the press. The higher Sponsor member dues underwrite the cost of promotional activities such as press releases. All OASIS TC members--Sponsors, Contributors, and Individuals--are listed in appropriate OASIS member communications and OASIS web site pages and documents, such as specifications.
                       
                         Members are notified of opportunities to be included in OASIS press releases via the OASIS PR Group. This group serves as a mechanism to enable organizations to take full advantage of the promotional benefits of OASIS membership. The OASIS PR Group facilitates communication between OASIS and professionals responsible for press and analyst relations for each of our member organizations. All OASIS Sponsors and Contributors are encouraged to subscribe one or more media relations representatives to this Group.

                         OASIS works to promote presentations concerning the activities of the Consortium and its TCs. If a representative from your company is speaking at a public conference--and the presentation focuses on any OASIS Standards or TC specifications, we will be happy to post information on the OASIS event calendar and in OASIS News. After the conference, your presentation or a link to it may be posted on the OASIS web site. Please contact events@oasis-open.org with details.
