Subject: Re: Minutes of 17 May FTF, Mt. Laurel
I would certainly welcome a slightly earlier start. * * * There is one addendum to the minutes: Alex Berson (Entrust) asked for a review of the voting status of the attendees. The chair stated that everyone except Ed Felt (for whom this was the first meeting) is a voting member in good standing, based on the rule of attendance at the inaugural meeting, and the rule that members must not miss more than three out of four face-to-face meetings (in person or by phone). Note also that no binding decision was taken at the meeting other than unanimously. * * * This discussion raises the fact that if members of the TC do not attend two out of three meetings (in our case, San Jose, Boston, Mt Laurel) then the chair should send them warnings, such that non-attendance at the London meeting will cause their membership to lapse. This seems reasonable for inactive companies/individuals who have only attended the San Jose meeting, for example. The name Microsoft springs to mind. Votes (as opposed to participation/observation) from such passive members would be inappropriate, it seems to me. * * * Last formal point: can we clarify the position of chair at the next face-to-face meeting? According to OASIS rules it would appear that no formal decision has been made on who is the chair of the TC, which leaves Rocky in that role by default, which has not been the reality. On general grounds, and in order to clean up our act for standard adoption processing, we should sort this out. (I should make it very clear: I have no complaint or problem whatsoever with the work of the acting chair, Pal. His efforts are greatly appreciated.) Sorry to go on about this kind of housekeeping, but it would be good not to get into long-winded negotations with the OASIS board on technicalities later down the line.
