OASIS主席兼CEO Patrick Gannon发送的OASIS 2007成就总结的信件的主要内容，
从中可以看到OASIS这个组织最近做的事情和行业的发展动向。

OASIS 2007成就总结

亲爱的OASIS会员：

一月就要过去，我想花点时间，总结一下我们在2007年所取得的一些成绩。
我们去年启动了5个新的会员区[1]，组成了13个新的技术委员会，批准了16个OASIS标准和25个规范。董事会批准了新的会员区政策，更新了OASIS的规章制度和技术委员会流程。
2007年早期我们启动了OASIS中国办事处，OASIS的官方中文翻译网站也运作了起来。OASIS网站新加了一个Take-A-Tour的演示[9]，用来提供一个关于我们做的事情的简单概括的介绍。另外我们加强了DITA/ebXML/OpenDocument/UDDI等组织技术的在线交流。
OASIS技术服务团队完成了对网络架构和网站内容的更新，OASIS会员可以使用我们的search功能和管理工具.......

在发完这个信件后的2月6号，已经在OASIS 主席兼CEO任上呆了8年的Patrick Gannon正式卸任。信件通知内容如下：
Dear OASIS members,


As Eduardo informed you last week, I have resigned as President and CEO
of OASIS. In the nearly eight years I have been associated with the
consortium on staff and the Board of Directors, I saw the organization
grow from its roots in SGML to e-business to the place it holds today as
the nexus of open standards that advance the global information society.
It has been my deepest privilege to be part of that growth and to have
known and worked alongside you all.

On your behalf, I have had the opportunity to literally travel the
world, representing your interests at conferences and summits with
industry leaders, heads of state, and cross-governmental bodies. You've
shared your ideas and enthusiasm with me, as well as your personal
stories and cultures, and for these acts of fellowship, I will always be
grateful.

My time leading OASIS has been one of the most exciting, rewarding
experiences of my career. I wish and fully expect much success for the
consortium in the many years to come.
