The following Public Review announcement was sent to OASIS members and public announce lists:
The OASIS ebXML Messaging Services Technical Committee has recently approved the following specification as a Committee Draft and approved the package for public review:
OASIS ebXML Messaging Services Version 3.0: Part 2, Advanced Features
This specification complements the ebMS 3.0 Core Specification by specifying advanced messaging functionality for message service configuration, message bundling, messaging across intermediaries (multi-hop) and transfer of (compressed) messages as series of smaller message fragments.
The public review starts today, 13 August 2010, and ends 12 October 2010. This is an open invitation to comment. We strongly encourage feedback from potential users, developers and others, whether OASIS members or not, for the sake of improving the interoperability and quality of OASIS work. We also welcome interested parties to join the TC as it continues to further development of its specifications. Please feel free to distribute this announcement within your organization and to other appropriate mail lists.
More non-normative information about the specification and the technical committee may be found at the public home page of the TC at [1] below. The purpose of the OASIS ebXML Messaging Services TC is to develop and recommend technology for the transport, routing and packaging of business transactions using standard Internet technologies.
Comments may be submitted to the TC by any person through the use of the OASIS TC Comment Facility which can be located via the button marked "Send A Comment" at the top of that page, or directly at [2] below.

We also call your attention to the OASIS IPR Policy applicable to the work of this technical committee, which can be found at [4] below. All members of the TC should be familiar with this document, which may create obligations regarding the disclosure and availability of a member's patent, copyright, trademark and license rights that read on an approved OASIS specification. OASIS invites any persons who know of any such claims to disclose these if they may be essential to the implementation of the above specification, so that notice of them may be posted to the notice page for this TC's work, at [5] below.
OASIS and the ebXML Messaging Services TC welcome your comments.
