The document discusses the OASIS Telecom Member Section (Telecom MS), which was established in March 2008 to promote the use of service-oriented architecture (SOA) in the telecom domain. The Telecom MS aims to attract vendors and practitioners to understand gaps and limitations of applying SOA in telecom. It also focuses on resolving specific telecom issues within the SOA framework, such as security, performance, and service management. The Telecom MS provides a forum for the telecom community within OASIS to advance SOA standards for telecom in a way that complements, rather than duplicates, the work of other standards organizations.
