FW: [election-services] Groups - Ballot closed: "EML v7

Neal

As you will see the motion has passed but I do want to respond to your comment. As I said on the recent IEEE/P1622 call I see no reason to remove the new hash-related attributes of the URL element. They are optional and therefore are available for use should anyone chose to do so, and EML being a global specification the chances are that someone somewhere will want to use that approach. For P1662 it should not cause a problem or an overhead because they can just ignore them. Many of the EML elements are optional and some may never or seldom be used. Indeed some of the schemas may never or seldom be used. That doesn’t invalidate EML in my opinion, it gives it added strength by making it more flexible for future users.

On the basis of the outcome of this ballot I intend to proceed and ask TC-Admin to run the formal ballot to approve v7.0 as a Committee Specification. Obviously you and the other committee members will have the chance to reflect on this further when casting the votes in that ballot. If the outcome is rejection then we will have to prepare a new draft of v7.0 and go through the whole approval cycle again, including a Public Review, to get us back to this point again.
