Subject: [obix] FW: OASIS Energy 
Interoperation Technical Committee

This 
went out late last night. I wanted to be sure you all 
were 
kept in the loop. This 
work can greatly increase the value of oBIX, and ups the ante for autonomous 
agents in building systems…

Subject: [smartgrid-discuss] Draft charter for 
proposed OASIS Energy Interoperation Technical Committee
To: 
Cc: 
Mary Ann Piette <>

Please find attached the draft charter for the proposed OASIS 
Energy Interoperation Technical Committee. I've attached a PDF, OpenDocument, 
and Word versions, all with line numbers for ease of discussion and 
review.

We invite you to comment on this list and to determine your 
interest in joining this work - please contact me directly if you would like to 
be listed as a supporter.

This proposal is being posted to 
smartgrid-discuss for (guess what!) discussion and review. The intent of the 
drafting group is to revise this draft after a comment period, and then submit 
the revised charter to the OASIS' Technical Committee process,.

The core 
work of the TC is defining XML and Web services interactions for so-called 
Automated Demand Response, growing out of work at the Lawrence Berkeley National 
Laboratory Demand Response Research Center led by Mary Ann Piette, who is the 
convener of the proposed TC. This specific proposal comes from the context of 
many discussions in and related to the OpenADR Technical Advisory Group, 
GridWise Architecture Council, Grid-Interop, the NIST Smart Grid project, 
GridEcon (a conference in March on the economics of the Smart Grid - http://www.gridecon.com/ ) and 
many other places.

The LBNL OpenADR body of work is being extended 
through two organizations/entities being created: this proposed OASIS Technical 
Committee and a proposed UCAIug OpenADR Task Force. In this innovative 
collaboration, the UCAIug, whose members are largely utilities and their 
suppliers, we will focus requirements, goals, data models and comments through 
UCAIug, involving their membership. 

If you're not familiar with OASIS 
Technical Committee Charters, the statement of purpose is section (1)(b), the 
scope is section (1)(c), and identification of similar or applicable work is 
section (2)(a).

As usual as charters evolve, the list of supporters is 
empty in this public discussion draft, and the list of deliverables and timeline 
is not included -- the next version will have those sections completed. Again, 
if you would like to join this work as a supporter and member of the technical 
committee, let us know.

Collaboration with other groups of stakeholders 
is actively being sought; please contact me for how to get involved. Other 
stakeholders include energy market makers, Independent System Operators (such as 
those in California, Texas, New England, the Midwest, etc), and policy and 
regulatory groups.  For more details, see the draft charter -- and step 
forward so we can make this interoperation effort both broad and 
effective.

Thanks!
