Dear Michael and all
Here is the procedure that I followed recently.
- Open the OASIS home page in a web browser: https://www.oasis-open.org.
- Click on 'Member and Community Login' (top-right of page).
- Click on 'Create an Account?' (bottom-right of page).
- Complete the registration form:
- In the 'Organization' field type 'Individual' unless registering on behalf of an organization.
- In the 'Username' field your email address is automatically inserted by default, but I believe you can change this if you wish.
- In the 'I'm registering to:' field select 'Join a Public Mailing List' from the drop-down menu.
- Tick 'I'm not a robot' box and click on the 'Create an account' button (bottom centre of page).
- Follow any further instructions to complete the registration process.
OASIS should respond within one working day, but since this appears to be a manual process, it may take longer than that.
OASIS will respond with a welcome email. This will include a link for setting a password, as well as a list of the things that you are entitled to do when logged in. Most of this is irrelevant for individuals only wishing to post to the 'office-comment' list.
The OASIS server uses cookies, and I got the impression that logging-in and site navigation are seriously impeded if you don't accept their use of cookies.
The next step is to subscribe to the 'office-comment' list. I think that the easiest way to do this is as follows. Unfortunately, I didn't record which page opens when logging in as a new user...
- Open the OASIS Open Groups home page: https://groups.oasis-open.org/home.
- Log-in using your username and the password you have set.
- Click on 'Communities' (top-middle of page), and select 'All Communities'.
- Search for 'office-comment', or browse list.
- The first time you subscribe you'll need to accept the Terms and Conditions of use for subscribers.
That should be it. You can now see the 'office-comment' list and post to it.
Kind regards,
Francis
