The Next Step?

Dear members of the CMIS TC,

We have not had much discussion within the TC since last August.
From what I can see, the CMIS v1.1 standard appears to be able to meet most interoperability needs of the ECM industry. TC discussions began to gradually taper off since we published Errata 01 for V1.1 18 months ago, and eventually came to a standstill late last summer. There seemed to be very few requirements left (or came forward) to drive further CMIS work. While we do have a list of proposed enhancements that remain as open JIRA issues, the energy behind them has waned. So, if we read all these indications correctly, we may be close to accomplishing what we set out to do, which is to develop a platform-independent interoperable interface standard for the ECM industry.

But before we (I) jump to any conclusion, I would like to hear from you.
Do you feel the same as I do, or do you believe there are more that the TC should work on? Any thoughts or suggestions?
Any comment that you may have regarding the next step for the TC will be most welcome!

If we do believe our job is pretty much done, then perhaps we should celebrate and bring the TC to a close.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Best regards,

David
