Member Roles on Committees
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.

Visibility Benefits
The Observer role enables you to monitor a Committee’s work without being publicly associated with it. Visibility for Committee Members is based on the level of OASIS membership held by your employer (Foundational Sponsor, Sponsor, or Contributor) or by yourself (Individual or Associate).
