## Starting a new Technical Committee

(WC Presentation) There are a number of good reasons to bring standards work to OASIS, including:

- reason 1
- reason 2
- reason 3
- reason 4
- reason 5 ...

There are two basic paths to follow. The first makes use of an OASIS-hosted discussion list to talk about the scope of the proposed project and to draft a Charter for submission to the OASIS Technical Committee Administrator.This process is extremely valuable when it is unclear if there is sufficient support to bring the work forward, or if the supporters are eager for assistance in refining their proposal. Discussion lists are open to any and all participants; there is no requirement that someone be an OASIS Member to subscribe to the list. Lists are limited to a duration of ninety (90) days, after which time no new postings may be made. The e-mail archives remain publicly available.
