Voting Reps,

The following is a message from Jay Gauthier, Candidate for the OASIS Board of Directors Special Election.

Scott…

-----------------------------------------------------------

OASIS Members,

My apologies for the unsolicited e-mail, but I wanted to inform you all of
my sincere interest in being elected to the OASIS Board of Directors and to
pass on some late-breaking news that isn't on my nomination web page.

On Monday, webMethods confirmed its leadership role by announcing the final
stage in its strategic plan to provide customers with a 100 percent
standards-based, non-proprietary and vendor neutral Web services
infrastructure. At the core of the announcement is this week's acquisition
of The Mind Electric and their GLUE and "Web services Fabric" technologies.
Many of the OASIS WS-* technologies play a critical role in this
infrastructure.

Also, in my responses to the nomination questions I indicate my support for
more cooperation between the related standards bodies. With a webMethods
colleague on the board of WS-I and dozens of webMethods' technical
contributors to WS-I, W3C and OASIS working groups, I'm in an excellent
position to assist OASIS in any steps towards such deeper cooperation. At
webMethods, we're small enough that the right hand *does* know what the left
hand is doing.

I'd be happy to discuss any issues relevant to OASIS with you further,
either by phone or e-mail.

Thanks for considering me for the Board and don't forget to vote!

Jay Gauthier
VP, Strategic Product Development
