OASIS at the RSA Conference
** The OASIS Security Assertion Markup Language Standard (SAML) V1.1
Interoperability Lab will be demonstrated on 25-26 February at the 2004 RSA
Conference
in San Francisco in the OASIS booth on the exhibition floor at the Moscone
Center. The OASIS showcase is sponsored by the U.S. General Services
Administration, hosted by RSA Security, and co-sponsored by Sun
Microsystems, and will feature Computer Associates, DataPower Technology,
Entrust, Hewlett-Packard, Oblix, OpenNetwork, RSA Security, Sun Microsystems
and others. The OASIS Interop Lab will include a demonstration of the
SAML-based architecture being deployed with the GSA's eGov eAuthentication
initiative.
** The OASIS Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) TC will preview the draft
PKI Action Plan at the 2004 RSA Conference in the Moscone Center during a
reception in Room 120 at 6:00-7:30 PM on Wednesday, 25 February. The OASIS
PKI TC has posted a draft PKI Action Plan for public review, inviting
comments and support from PKI customers, vendors, experts, and others. This
plan is designed to address obstacles to PKI deployment and usage identified
through collected surveys. To receive an invitation to the reception
to discuss the PKI Action Plan and meet members of the OASIS PKI TC, please

CGM Open Transitions to OASIS Member Section
Members of CGM Open, an OASIS affiliate since 1998, approved the transition
to become an OASIS Member Section, officially bringing them under the
operating structure of the OASIS TC Process. CGM Open is dedicated to making
Web graphics standards easy to adopt and practical to use in real world,
open systems applications. CGM Open developed and currently maintains
WebCGM, an application of the ISO-standard Computer Graphics Metafile for
electronic documents. OASIS organizational members may now choose to
allocate a portion of their dues to fund the work of the OASIS CGM Open
Member Section.

Register for the OASIS Symposium
Make plans *now* to attend the OASIS Symposium on Reliable Infrastructures,
26-27 April, New Orleans. OASIS' original block of sleeping rooms has
already sold
out and been extended, but space remains at a premium. In order to secure
the additional meeting space we need for our technical committees, it is
vital that members register and reserve sleeping rooms at the Marriott ASAP.
The following groups will be meeting in conjunction with the Symposium:
OASIS ebXML Messaging TC, OASIS ebXML Registry TC, OASIS ebXML CPPA, OASIS
WSRM TC, OASIS LegalXML Electronic Court Filing TC, OASIS LegalXML
