Hi,
Follows a draft of the email to be sent to intended audience.
Thanks,

----:
The
OASIS DSS-X committee is releasing a first committee draft of a digital
signatures profile called “Visible Signatures profile”.
This
profile is aimed to incorporate visible information into documents as part of the
digital signature operation.
Incorporating
a visible signature as part of a digital signature operation is mandatory for
the acceptance of digital signatures in many business scenarios and
applications.
Today,
there is an existing support in several document types such as PDF and MS
Office 2007, as well as non standard support in other documents types. Eventually,
many document types will support the both visible and non-visible digital
signature embedded in the document.
The
target of the Visible Signature profile is to provide a general interface to a
digital signature service for incorporating a visible signature to any type of
document.
To
ease the collaboration of a visible signature into applications, the profile
defines several types of scenarios/policies. Two of the most outstanding usages
of implementing a digital signature into documents are application workflow
scenario and a document submission scenario.
The
committee will appreciate any submitted component as part of reviewing the
profile specifications.
