At least one of the three SoUs must come from an OASIS
          member. You can accept SoUs from non-OASIS members. 

        

        

        The definition of OASIS member is: "a person, organization or
        entity who is a voting or non-voting member of the corporation,
        as defined by the OASIS Bylaws." (In the bylaws, if you look,
        the description is down in Article 12.) So by my reading, an
        individual member can submit a Statement of Use. 
        

        

        
The minimal format for a SoU is: 

        
"<member name> has successfully implemented
          <committee specification title> Version #.# Committee
          Specification ## (<link to the spec>) approved
          <approval date> in accordance with the conformance
          clauses defined in <section where conformance clauses are
          defined> <<note here that the wording should either
          specify "all conformance clauses" or else list/describe the
          conformance clauses that the implementation satisfies.>>
          The use of the specification <includes | does not
          include> interoperation of multiple independent
          implementations.”

        

        

        
The provider can give more information, but that is the
          minimal statement. Also, for non-member submissions, the TC
          can require more supporting information such as links to
          files, demonstration transcripts, etc. 

        

        

        
For OASIS members, the SoU should go to the main TC mailing
          list. For an Organizational Member, the primary rep must
          endorse the SoU. If the primary is not a member of the TC,
          then she/he can just send their statement to whoever is a TC
          member to forward on. 

        

        

        
For non-OASIS members, the SoU must go to the comment
          mailing list. 

        

        

        
The TC must approve a resolution to accept the SoUs. 

        

        

        
I think that about covers it.

Thanks! 

                On a different note -- Can you provide me with more
                information about what is required for statements of
                use? And I assume that an organizational member is an
                OASIS member that is NOT an individual member; let me
                know if I am making an incorrect assumption.

Let me look into this Kris. I'll get back
                  to you with an answer - this one is old and I need to
                  do some digging...
