Mary,
thanks for your readiness to participate.
The topic is certainly of significance enough for us to make space for it on the agenda.
I'll put it on in the first part of the agenda and include your suggestions for review.
Would you be willing to give a brief summary of the changes as an introduction?
Regards,
Werner

I'm happy to attend if there's room on the agenda; I would like to suggest that everyone review the following in preparation for any questions:
work product lifecycle: http://docs.oasis-open.org/TChandbook/Reference/WorkProductLifecycle.html and related pages
TC Process FAQ: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-faq.php

Or maybe this session with Mary should be held as part of a EMA TC call, so all of the subcommittee chairs could be part of the discussion. The new rules require TC votes and review periods for such things as slides and articles; among other changes.

This requires aspecial majority vote of the TC. If the 15-day review generated any comments, this vote cannot be held before seven days have passed since the close of the public review. To conduct the special majority vote, we need to notify Mary McRae that the TC is ready to vote and provide her with the location of the editable versions of the files. She sets up and conducts the ballot.
