Subject: FW: Election Markup Language Version 7.0 approved and published as a Committee Specification


Now that we have completed this stage we have the difficult problem of being
able to proceed to full OASIS Standard approval.  If we cannot get the 3
Statements of Use then we will not be able to take v7.0 any further, and the
consequence of that will be that we will not be able to make a submission to
ISO.  So somehow we need to unlock this problem.  I would welcome some
inventive thinking please.  Do you know any organisations not already within
OASIS who could be encouraged to join and help us?  

It would be a shame to have to stick at the Committee Spec stage now that we
have the USA moving forward apace with EML.

Subject: [members] (ANN) Election Markup Language Version 7.0 approved and
published as a Committee Specification

OASIS Members,

We are pleased to announce the approval and publication of an OASIS
Committee Specification by the members of the OASIS Election and Voter
Services TC:

Election Markup Language (EML) Specification Version 7.0
Committee Specification 01
27 October 2011

Overview:
This document describes the background and purpose of the Election
Markup Language, the electoral processes from which it derives its
structure and the security and audit mechanisms it is designed to
support.  It also provides an explanation of the core schemas used
throughout, definitions of the simple and complex datatypes, plus the
EML schemas themselves. It also covers the conventions used in the
specification and the use of namespaces, as well as guidance on the
constraints, extensibility, and splitting of messages.

URIs:
The prose specification document and related files are available here:

Members of the OASIS Election and Voter Services TC [1] requested a
Special Majority Vote to approve this specification as a Committee
Specification. The specification had been released for public review
as required by the TC Process [2]. The vote to approve at Committee
Specification (CS) level passed [3], and the approved CS01 is now
available online in the OASIS Library as referenced above.

Our congratulations to the TC on achieving this milestone.
