FW: [members] Public Review of ElectionML v4.0

["Borras, John" <John.Borras@legsb.gov.uk>]

I hope you will have all seen this recent notice.  This is the next step in moving EML to a full OASIS standard as we discussed at our last meeting.  I propose to convene a further TC meeting on 21st November to review the comments back from this public review and approve the next stage in the process.  We can also review the actions list of proposed changes to version 4.

 

Will you please note your diaries with this date and a 15.00 UK (10.00 USA Eastern) time start.

 

Regards

John
