Finance and Audit Committee Charter
1. The primary purpose of the OASIS Finance and Audit Committee (FAC) is to advise the OASIS Board of Directors (Board) on financial matters. The FAC enhances board performance by Increasing the contributions of assigned board members by concentrating their attention on the financial aspects of board governance, and assuring the remaining members of the board that there will be independent sources of information and evaluation of management’s financial plans and performance. 2. An adequate system of financial control and reporting is the life support for any corporation. Because financial control and reporting is vital to the corporation’s existence, the board must bear the ultimate responsibility for assuring that the financial system implemented by management is adequate. The FAC serves as the a direct link between the board and any independent accounting firm retained to review management’s control and reporting system, and additionally reviews the financial aspects of all management programs on a regular basis. 3. In addition to any duties specifically assigned to it by board resolution, the FAC will:
- Recommend the firm that is to serve as independent auditor for the current year and review the estimated fee
- Review and discuss the audit plan with the auditor - Review with the auditors their proposed audit report and management letter, if any, and present the
report to the board - As necessary, meet privately with the independent auditor to review the adequacy of management’s
internal controls and recommend correction action as needed, and - Meet regularly with management to review the monthly, quarterly and annual financial reports before
they are filed with the board, specifically inquiring as to reports’ adequacy and the existence and resolution of any disagreements between management and auditors with respect to such reports 4. Because of the technical nature of the questions the audit committee is likely to encounter, the committee should include among its members at least one director who is reasonably conversant with accounting principles and practices. 5. The FAC shall consist of at least two voting members who are currently OASIS board members, and such members shall be appointed by resolution of the board. The OASIS President shall also be an ex-officio member of the FAC, but without vote. The FAC shall not make any binding decisions on OASIS but shall solely make recommendations to the Board. Voting members shall be appointed yearly, coincident with the election of board officers. 6. The FAC is authorized to seek advice and counsel from other interested parties and invited experts as appropriate.

2008 Budget
Going Concern The Organization incurred a decrease in net assets of approximately
$130,000 during the year ended December 31, 2007, and as of that date, the Organization’s current liabilities exceeded its current assets by approximately $204,000 and its total liabilities exceeded its total assets by approximately $163,000.
Beginning in September 2006 for new members, and in January 2007 for continuing members, the Board increased dues for all members an average of eleven percent.
Management expects to achieve positive net assets by the end of 2011. Management acknowledges that approximately $1,125,000 of the
Organization’s liabilities at December 31, 2007 represent membership payments and support for organization events not yet earned.
The cash balance as of December 31, 2007 was $772,087. The ability of the Organization to continue as a going concern is dependent
on plans for managing costs, retaining existing membership and growing operating revenues.

Charter1. Recognizing that each organization is only as strong as its personnel, the
OASIS Staffing Committee (SC) is formed to support the needs of the organization to attract and retain talented individuals who are best suited to meet the needs of our membership. To that end, we will provide general guidance, advise and counsel to the President and CEO in the following areas:
1) Issues relating to employee compensation, policies and practices; 2) Creation and review of CEO Bonus Objectives; 3) Selection and hiring of President and other Executives; 4) Ombudsman for employee grievances;

Outreach Committee Membership
Ed Cobb, BEA, Chair Robin Cover, OASIS Staff Carol Geyer, OASIS Staff Bob Glushko, UC Berkeley Frederick Hirsch, Nokia
Charter
The OASIS Outreach Committee is formed to recommend strategies and take actions that advance goals of both OASIS members and external groups that enhance OASIS relationships with under-represented stakeholders. The goal of the committee is to publicize OASIS activities to groups in the industry that typically do not engage in standardization activities. A specific focus is the Open Source Communities, where the goal is to encourage Open Source Software (OSS) implementations of OASIS specifications. Other groups, as identified by the Outreach Committee, OASIS Staff, and the OASIS Board of Directors, may be selected for outreach activities.
Committee Work Plan Open Source Community
after new IPR Policy went into effect Legacy IPR Policy was widely mis-
understood Goal – to make sure OASIS specs can
be implemented in Open Source What groups should be targeted for
the future?
