OASIS Charter Submission Discuss

Greetings! The charter reads in part: ***** Bringing together representatives of the entire stakeholder community - people with different backgrounds, different needs, different approaches, from different locations around the world - to collaborate on an open protocol is the most reliable way to produce solutions that are cost-effective, diverse, comprehensive, innovative, and scaled to meet the aggressive EV growth strategies. ***** OK, but I assume this type of information interchange is already happening. Yes? That is between "Charge Point Owners" and "Central Management System Suppliers." BTW, how is a Charge Point Owner different from a Charge Point Vendor? I ask because the DOE says there are 13,870 electric stations and 34,180 charging outlets in the United States. http://www.afdc.energy.gov/locator/stations/results?utf8=%E2%9C%93&location=&fuel=ELEC&private=false&planned=false&owner=all&radius=false&radius_miles=5&ev_levels%5B%5D=none&ev_levels%5B%5D=1&ev_levels%5B%5D=2&ev_levels%5B%5D=dc_fast&ev_connectors%5B%5D=none&ev_connectors%5B%5D=NEMA1450&ev_connectors%5B%5D=NEMA515&ev_connectors%5B%5D=NEMA520&ev_connectors%5B%5D=J1772&ev_connectors%5B%5D=CHADEMO&ev_connectors%5B%5D=J1772COMBO&ev_connectors%5B%5D=TESLA&ev_connectors%5B%5D=all&ev_networks%5B%5D=none&ev_networks%5B%5D=AeroVironment+Network&ev_networks%5B%5D=Blink+Network&ev_networks%5B%5D=ChargePoint+Network&ev_networks%5B%5D=EV+Connect&ev_networks%5B%5D=eVgo+Network&ev_networks%5B%5D=EVSE+LLC+WebNet&ev_networks%5B%5D=GE+WattStation&ev_networks%5B%5D=Greenlots&ev_networks%5B%5D=OpConnect&ev_networks%5B%5D=SemaCharge+Network&ev_networks%5B%5D=Tesla&ev_networks%5B%5D=all Apologies for the ugly URL. So, out of those 34,180 charging outlets, how many owners/vendors are among the initial members of the TC? Hope you are having a great week!
