New Version of Confirm BOD Document Released

We published a new version of our normative Confirm BOD Specification this morning.  It was the result of an  additional contribution from one of our members, ADP, and the work of the Quality Working Group and OAGi Staff.

We believe this will be a further improvement on our last version which we published in 2007.

This document is free to OAGi members on our members website here (login required), and to all others for only US $19.95 on our Resources Webpage here.

If you are not already a member of OAGi, I invite you to read our Membership Value Statement and to join our community.

Thank you to all for this tremendous work.
