BEA, IBM, Microsoft and TIBCO Software announced a week ago that they will Submit Web Services ReliableMessaging (WS-RM) Specification to OASIS for standardization. This effort is supported by a wide range of companies and organizations, including Sun. The co-authors proposed a new technical committee and charter for standardization of WS-RM.

OASIS will have to figure out what do with WSRM, an already existing technical committee for reliable message delivery, specifically since WSRM has already made progress in that area.
