IMHO… if a vendor paper mentions the RM or RA, we should comment
– diplomatically – on it.  If it’s just some marketing stuff, ignore it.

 

Why comment?  Well, people will google…and if they see us
endorsing appropriate use of our standard(s), then the vendors win and we’ve
proven in a roundabout way that supporting standards is a good thing.  If
the paper skews, misinterprets or disparages our work, we should feel
comfortable discussing or blogging about the issue as long as we keep it
collegial.

Colleagues,

 

I suggest we tone
down our personal opinions regarding vendors and vendor-oriented solutions as
this forum is open to OASIS members, which clearly includes vendors.  This
is, afterall, an industry consortia.  When it comes time to ask these very
same vendors to ratify our public draft specifications, we will want them on
our side.

 

Cheers...
