All interested parties are invited to participate in the new OASIS ebXML Core (ebCore)  Technical Committee, which will hold its first meeting by teleconference on 4 April 2008. The new group will serve as the maintenance body for ebXML specifications that are completed or transitioned to the TC. It will manage clarifications, modifications, and enhancements for the specifications. The ebCore TC may also produce new conformance profiles and adjunct documents complementing existing specifications.
