OASIS (https://www.oasis-open.org/) Presentation
Overview. Provides governance structure for members. Mindful of creating legal safeharbour for standards/tech. Involved in open standards and open source.
International organization, connections to international standards bodies (e.g SAML, ODF, etc)
Samvera will maintain independence like these organizations do.
Technical Committees or Open Projects - much of their work has been happening in this area.
Works with ANSI to bring in experts to work on standards. ISO Standards currently working on – Privacy Standards, Sharing Economy
Foundation-as-a-Service. OASIS provides the back end (legal, bills, taxes, and other administrative functions) that allows independent groups to manage their organization
Other “groups” using the Foundation-as-a-Service: Open Mobility foundation (https://www.openmobilityfoundation.org/)
Transfer assets to 501(c)(6) under OASIS nonprofit umbrella.
Samvera continues to have its own governance structure and rules for operating as a community.
Many supplemental services available (for fee) in addition to core services.
We’re in the set up your organization part of the process. Next step is launch (approximate summer timeline).
Questions
Who else uses the FaaS program - Open Mobility foundation (https://www.openmobilityfoundation.org/). Most folks they spoke to about this end up becoming an open project because they want to become a standard.
Do agreements need to be updated? - no but we may look at changing them moving forward for new folks who sign.

Updates from Steering
Fundraising letters, coming from Oasis.
This is last year before required fees.
Searching for new Hyrax technical lead. Tamsin tamsin johnson stepping down in September. Interested, or know someone who might be, please let us know.
Call for Board (formerly Steering) nominations coming in May. Those first elected are reaching end of 3 year terms.
Switch to “board” from “steering” (as part of bylaws change driven by move to Oasis) is appropriate. Steering has never steered.
Bylaws change also requires treasurer role. Envisioned as two years in length. Treasurer will be someone on the board. Finance subcommittee will have chair and chair elect.
