sure,, no problem. (The description was cribbed from the dmtf's  
website.)

   The OASIS WS-Notification and WSDM TCs are closed, having completed  
their work. Are you suggesting that nevertheless they be added to the  
sentence in the OASIS description that starts out with "Relevant  
Technical Committees include but are not limited to: <list of some TCs>?
   (I'm fine with doing that.)

  Can you suggest some other words or would that be suitable?

cheers,
   jeff
