Subject: RE: [asap] Inquiry about status or closure of this TC
Jamie, Thanks for your note. We would like to advance the current specification on the site to official status. In September (2006) called for an email vote, and unianimous approval to call the current spec a "committee draft". This is the "asap02f.zip" document as you point out. Since that time I have been trying to find the time to find the technical requirements of advancing to the next stage. This is something I simply have been putting off due to other (seemingly) more pressing issues. You are correct in that there is has been little or no traffic in the past few months. The existing members consider the work done. But we have not yet attained an official status in the OASIS. It is my assumption that OASIS would like to see this happen. Can you help me in understanding what the next step is? Do I need to reformat the document in a standard form (someone else mentioned to me that this was necessary)? -Keith Swenson -----Original Message----- From: James Bryce Clark [mailto:jamie.clark@oasis-open.org] Sent: Tuesday, October 31, 2006 6:39 PM To: asap@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [asap] Inquiry about status or closure of this TC OASIS ASAP TC members: OASIS rules permit and in some cases require OASIS staff to close a technical committee that falls below certain activity indicators, such as no meetings or specification ballots for a six month period, or the absence of progress towards achieving its goals as set forth in its charter. [1] The ASAP technical committee has carried out some significant discussions and developments of the proposed ASAP protocol and specification, culminating in a credible advanced draft "2e" uploaded in August 2005. Since that time, however, there has been only one message sent on the TC's list in 14 months. We see no indications of meetings held during the last year. There also was an updated draft specification "2f" sent to the TC list in May 2006, but I am unable to detect whether any further progress has been made or is expected. The TC's charter [2] seemed to contemplate only the production of a single final specification, so it is possible that the work of the TC now is completed, unless there is a plan to conduct further approvals or public reviews of the work. Would you please advise us, with a copy to this list, if members of the TC with an interest in the work have a plan for its reactivation and continuation? We would be pleased to see the work continue. However, if we do not receive any reply, we will plan to declare the project finished and close the TC in mid-November. We appreciate all of the contributions of the past and current members of the TC. Of course, in accordance with our policies, all of that work will remain permanently available to implementers and the public at [3] even in the event of a closure.
