    Subject: UBL user certifications


    Hello UBL TC and observers,
    
    A little while ago I sent a message asking for notes certifying
    that UBL is being "successfully used" by those of you who
    represent OASIS member organizations (not individuals).  This part
    of the OASIS process reads as follows:
    
       4. Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations
          that they are successfully using the specification
          consistently with the OASIS IPR Policy
    
    (Note that I sent a copy of the IPR policy back in July.)
    
    Four of you replied, and I thank you.
    
    Now that I'm about to complete the materials needed to submit UBL
    1.0 to OASIS, however, OASIS Administration informs me that these
    statements have to be posted somewhere publicly visible so that
    the URLs can be referenced in the ballot that will go out to OASIS
    members next month.  But most of the statements that I have are
    too informal for this.  So I need for those of you who sent me
    statements earlier to post messages to the ubl list (this list,
    not just to me) that read something like this example:
    
       Subject: Use of UBL by Sun Microsystems
    
       I, Jon Bosak, certify that Sun Microsystems is successfully
       using the OASIS UBL specification consistently with the OASIS
       IPR Policy.
    
    Note that it's not necessary to specify how you are using UBL or
    with whom, which I know for some of you would involve disclosures
    about products and partners that you are not yet ready to make.  I
    just need a simple statement like the one above that can be
    referenced by a URL to the ubl mail archive.  Also note that you
    don't have to be using all of UBL, just some piece of it that you
    find beneficial for some purpose.
    
    I've been given a few days to put this together, but obviously the
    sooner we can get this done, the better.
    
    I strongly suspect that a lot more of you are "successfully using"
    UBL than the four who originally responded to this request.
    (Remember, "use" in this pre-standardization phase can be
    experimental or educational as long as those experiments or
    educational efforts are proving to be successful.)  It would help
    a lot to have as many of these statements as possible going into
    the OASIS ballot next month, so if you are "successfully using"
    UBL and represent an OASIS organization as an employee of that
    organization, please consider posting a message like the example
    above by the end of this week at the latest.  And if you know of
    some OASIS organization that is "successfully using" UBL but is
    not present on the ubl list, please let me know; the users don't
    have to be members of the TC, just members of OASIS.
    
    Jon
