Governance
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The OASIS WS-I Member Section operated from Feb 2002 until Dec 2017. The Member Section championed Best Practices for web services interoperability by developing a comprehensive set of Web Services Profiles, Sample Applications and Testing Tools. Three of the Profiles became ISO Standards. The Web Services Basic Reliable and Secure Profiles (WS-BRSP) Technical Committee remains active and the archives of this work are publicly accessible.

Meetings
The Steering Committee meets by teleconference. All WS-I participants are encouraged to raise issues for discussion through the Steering Committee mailing list or by getting in touch with any of the Steering Committee members individually. WS-I participants are invited to attend Steering Committee meetings as Observers.
Minutes of each Steering Committee meeting are posted to the Member Section mailing list; the archives of this list are publicly accessible.
Elections
Steering Committee members are nominated and elected by the OASIS WS-I membership in an open process. Each elected Steering Committee member serves a two-year term. For consistency of management, terms are staggered so that four seats expire one year and the other four expire the following year. See the Rules of Procedure for more details.
