IBM's Position on Submitting WSS-M for ISO Standardization

David and other members of the Work Group,

I have discussed with my colleagues
the proposal that was raised at the last WSS-M Work Group meeting to not
submit WSS-M to ISO and instead put the work group into maintenance mode.

IBM continues to believe this is a robust,
broadly accepted standard and that there is value in seeking ISO standardization.
 Given that no substantive changes have been needed for this update,
we would not anticipate any obstacles or objections in the ISO committee.
As noted on our last call, several other standards from OASIS have recently
 "sailed through" the ISO process and we would not expect
our experience with WSS-M to be any different.  Therefore IBM would
prefer to stick to the work group's original charter and submit the standard
to ISO.
