RE: [legalxml-sc] Final Member Section Policy for your Review

From the site at
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/legalxml-ms/manage/edit_cha
rter.php I was able to find the following represented as Charter for the
Member Section. There is no charter for the Steering Committee on its
page, but there is a public description.

The Charter language on the above site is:
LegalXML Member Section Mission, Vision, Goals
(as adopted by Steering Committee April 27, 2004)

LegalXML Member Section Mission Statement

The OASIS LegalXML Member Section fosters open, non-proprietary
standards for structuring legal documents and information using XML and
related technologies.

LegalXML Member Section Vision Statement

LegalXML standards enable users of legal documents and information,
including courts, legal professionals and supporting industries,
criminal justice agencies, legislators, librarians, publishers,
regulators and litigants to create, manage and share electronic
information and records efficiently, reliably, and securely.

LegalXML Member Section Goals

1. The LegalXML Member Section produces well-defined and clearly written
specifications that include architecture, data models, data element
definitions, document schemas, and markup guidelines that support
implementation of XML technology in the legal system for use by all who
have a stake in electronic legal documents, records, and information
exchanges.

2. The LegalXML Member Section involves legal document creators,
vendors, academics, and users in a legal community that defines
requirements, drafts, reviews, and promulgates specifications for
XML-based legal documents and information transactions.

3. The LegalXML Member Section educates users of legal documents and
information about the uses, significance, and benefits of XML
technologies and promotes the standards developed under the auspices of
OASIS, the LegalXML Member Section, and its technical committees.
