All interested parties are invited to participate in the new OASIS eMIX Technical Committee. This group will work to define standards for exchanging energy characteristics, availability, and schedules to support the free and effective exchange of information. The eMIX TC will operate under the Royalty Free on Limited Terms mode of the OASIS IPR Policy. The 40+ TC proposers include representatives of OASIS Foundational Sponsors–IBM, Primeton, and Sun Microsystems–as well as Sponsors–EnerNOC, EPRI, TIBCO, U.S. NIST–and others. Edward Cazalet is the convener; a TC chair or two co-chairs will be elected at the first meeting, which will be held by teleconference on 15 Oct. Contact join@oasis-open.org for details on participation. 

A new OASIS technical committee is being formed. The OASIS
Energy Market Information Exchange (eMIX) Technical Committee has
been proposed by the members of OASIS listed below. The TC name,
statement of purpose, scope, list of deliverables, audience, and
language specified in the proposal will constitute the TC's official
charter. Submissions of technology for consideration by the TC, and
the beginning of technical discussions, may occur no sooner than the
TC's first meeting.

    The eligibility requirements for becoming a participant in the TC
at the first meeting are:

    (a) you must be an employee of an OASIS member organization or an
individual member of OASIS, and
    (b) you must join the Technical Committee, which members may do by
using the "Join this TC" button on the TC's public page at [a].

    To be considered a voting member at the first meeting, you must:
    (a) join the Technical Committee at least 7 days prior to the
first meeting (date); and
    (b) you must attend the first meeting of the TC, at the time and
date fixed below (date).

Of course, participants also may join the TC at a later time. OASIS
and the TC welcomes all interested parties.

    Non-OASIS members who wish to participate may contact us about
joining OASIS [b]. In addition, the public may access the information
resources maintained for each TC: a mail list archive, document
repository and public comments facility, which will be linked from the
TC's public home page at [a].

    Please feel free to forward this announcement to any other
appropriate lists. OASIS is an open standards organization; we
encourage your participation.

Regards,

Mary
