Dave Orchard Introduction

I'm David Orchard and I will be a BEA Systems representative to the web
services description working group.  As BEA Systems AC rep, I confirm my
representation.

I have been actively involved in W3C and other standards forums for many
years.
I am the W3C lead for BEA Systems, focusing on web services standards and
web services product strategy. I am a member of the W3C Technical
Architecture Group, XML Protocol, and Advisory committees.  I was
a co-editor of the W3C XML Link and XInclude specifications.  I also
participate
in a number of Web services specifications, such as WS-ReliableMessaging and
WS-Addressing.  My earliest work on web services was architecting and
delivering a web-based student registration system in 1997/98 that used
xml over http.

I agree to participate as per the charter
http://www.w3.org/2002/01/ws-desc-charter

Having been a lurker and occasional f2f participant on ws-desc, I look
forward to a more involved interaction with y'all.

Cheers,
Dave Orchard
