OASIS LegalDocumentML (LegalDocML) TC

OASIS is proud to announce Monica Palmirani and Patrick Durusau have been
named Distinguished Contributors to OASIS.

Distinguished Contributors are recognized for their Introduction of new
work, influence and visibility in the industry, ability to build consensus,
leadership and service.Their participation substantially raises the quality
and breadth of OASIS technical work.

Monica has been a significant contributor to the LegalXML community since
2010. Her leadership in the Member Section Steering Committee, LegalDoc ML
and LegalCiteM Technical Committees has been a significant part of these
groups' success. These activities, helped bring Akoma Ntoso (a globally
respected project with origins in Africa) to OASIS and attracted many new
members from industries, countries and regions not frequently active in the
standards space.

Patrick's service to OASIS is at two levels. As a TC member and co-chair
he has been influential in a variety of TCs but most noteworthy the Office
TC and several of its Subcommittees. The resulting specifications have
enabled a new industry of productivity tools now in use around the globe.
Patrick was a significant force in the work to prepare the OASIS Open
Document Format for Office Applications Standard for submission and
ultimate acceptance as ISO/IEC 26300. Patrick's influence extends outside
his TC work. His review and submission of over 650 comments in 30 Public
Reviews reflects an exemplar dedication to specification quality.

Monica and Patrick join the Distinguished Contributor hall of fame at
https://www.oasis-open.org/member-roster/distinguished-contributors and are
now eligible for all the benefits thereof.

Please join me in congratulating this year's recipients,

Scott...
