Reminder: OASIS memberships for ebXML participants

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

This is a reminder that OASIS' offer to give free Individual memberships to
ebXML participants expires at the end of June. I've attached the original
announcement below with all the necessary information.

> ebXML Participants:
>
> As you may be aware, work on ebXML will continue as a coordinated activity
> between members of UN/CEFACT and OASIS. As announced at the Vienna ebXML
> meeting, ongoing maintenance of ebXML infrastructure (messaging,
> registry/repository, security and collaborative partners work) will be
> conducted within the OASIS technical process because of the Consortium's
> expertise in XML standards development, and ongoing maintenance of ebXML
> business content (core components and messages, and business
> process models)
> will be continued within UN/CEFACT because of its experience in UN/EDIFACT
> EDI standards.
>
> Participation in OASIS technical activities requires that the person be an
> OASIS member, either through their employer or individually. While many
> ebXML participants are employees of OASIS member organizations, many are
> not. So to allow active ebXML participants to continue their work within
> OASIS, the Consortium is offering a free one-year Individual OASIS
> memberships to any ebXML participant who attended at least two of the last
> three ebXML meetings (Tokyo, Vancouver or Vienna) and who is not
> already an
> employee of an OASIS member organization.
>
> To obtain this free membership, you must sign up at
> http://www.oasis-open.org/join/ebxml.shtml before 30 June 2001. Note that
> you must sign up for OASIS membership to become eligible to participate in
> OASIS technical committees.
>
> If you did not attend two of the last three ebXML meetings you can still
> participate in ebXML infrastructure work by joining OASIS. Individual
> memberships are 250 USD per year. With an Individual OASIS membership, a
> person can participate in any/all of the OASIS technical committees--not
> just ebXML. The membership is non-transferrable.
>
> Contributor and Sponsor memberships are also available for organizations.
> For organizations that want to have multiple employees
> participate in OASIS
> technical work, at least a Contributor level membership is required. For
> organizations that also want to take advantage of OASIS
> promotional benefits
> (being featured in press releases, on the OASIS website, etc.) a Sponsor
> level membership is required.
>
> For any of these membership levels, please see
> http://www.oasis-open.org/join/index.shtml for more information and an
> online application.
>
> Please contact me if you have any questions on OASIS technical committees,
> our technical process or our plans for future ebXML work. Contact Scott
> McGrath, the OASIS Member Services Manager  (scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org)
> with any questions on OASIS membership.
>
> We look forward to advancing the ebXML infrastructure work with
> all of you.
