Hi David,
Sorry for my delay in responding.
I share your view. I think that the CMIS TC has accomplished what it set out to do and we should bring the TC to a celebratory close.
CMIS should be celebrated as a great success. It was certainly not easy to bring ECM competitors together back in 2008 to define a vendor-independent standard for working with enterprise content. But we did it, and now look at how many CMIS compliant repositories and apps there are! I am proud to have played a role in the development of such a standard, and to work for two software companies that implemented it!
And thank you for your leadership in making it happen!
So what are the next steps in the OASIS process to close the TC?

Subject: [cmis] 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
