--PLEASE NOTE QUOTE DEADLINE IS FRIDAY, 1 MAY--

The Consortium is in the process of drafting a press release to announce the formation of the OASIS Key Management Interoperability Protocol (KMIP) Technical Committee. We have targeted Tuesday, 5 May, for distribution.

*Recognition*
While OASIS deeply appreciates the contributions of all members to our technical work, only Foundational- and Sponsor-level members elect to receive promotional benefits, such as inclusion in announcements directed to the press. The subhead of the KMIP press release will state: 

---------------------------------------------------
IBM, BeCrypt, Brocade, Cisco, EMC, HP, Thales, Venafi <other Sponsors who join before 1 May> and Others 
Collaborate on Open Standard for IT Security, Compliance, and Data Recovery  
---------------------------------------------------

If you represent one of these organizations, and you do *not* wish to be included in the press release, please notify me.

If you represent a Contributor-level organization, and you wish to be recognized as a leader in KMIP, please contact me immediately for information on upgrading your membership to take advantage of this promotional benefit.

*Quotes*
If you represent a Foundational or Sponsor-level organization participating in the OASIS KMIP TC, you may submit a quote in support of this work. Please email quotes to me, including a name and title at your organization to whom the quote can be attributed, by Friday, 1 May.
