All --
Below is a motion to open an electronic ballot.
After that motion is seconded, I will create the ballot.
The Chairs have determined that to carry out the plan of
the TC to
NOT include copies of the EMIX schemas
that we need to start an electronic ballot. The TC
Administrator has informed us that he cannot apply TC
Process Rule 2.19 in this case. The discussion section
goes into details. In essence, we have asked the technical
editor to create and validate schemas where the only
change is to reference the now-published EMIX CSD03 on the
web, and update the specification to wd26 - the only
changes are the WD number, the date, and the page footers.
Links below are to the diffmarked document for your
information.
An electronic ballot is open for at least 7 days, and you
may change your vote until the close of the ballot.
Motion:
William Cox moves that the TC will start an electronic
ballot with the Ballot Question listed below for a seven
day period. This ballot will start today, July 8, and be
open for 7 days, to July 15.
Ballot Question:
Shall the Energy Interoperation Technical Committee do the
following, as replacements for work product in the
publication queue as Committee Specification Draft 02 and
Public Review 02?
(1) Issue OASIS Energy Interoperation 1.0 Working Draft 26
and its associated XML artifacts packaged together in the
Energy Interoperation TC archive at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/42849/energyinterop-1-0-wd26.zip
as Energy Interoperation Committee Specification Draft 02
and direct the Chair to request that the TC Administrator
process Working Draft 26 and its associated XML artifacts
and further direct the chair to perform any actions
required by the TC Administrator, including but not
limited to updating namespace document requests and
submission forms, to accomplish that issuance as soon as
practicable. The PDF version is definitive.
(2) Issue OASIS Energy Interoperation 1.0 Committee
Specification Draft 02 for a fifteen-day Public Review,
and direct the Chair and TC Administrator to perform the
necessary actions for that Public Review to start as soon
as practicable.
Discussion:
This ballot, if approved, will permit the TC Administrator
to publish the Energy Interoperation 1.0 PR02/CSD02 with
direct references in the schemas to the now-published EMIX
PR03 schemas on the web; the effect of a NO vote is to
keep a copy of the EMIX schemas in the publication package
as approved on July 6.
There will be no effect on the publication schedule; and
the TC Administrator fully understands that with the
changes below he can start work immediately on the
document.
Changes have been strictly limited to the following; files
have been uploaded showing the precise changes. Those
files are
The complete set of changes are:
Spec (see Word document with diffmarks linked above):
- Change WD number, date to current, page footers
to match, added note on changes to wd26 on last page.
Schemas (see diff -r output linked above):
- Changed references/schemaLocation attributes to
reference the EMIX schemas on docs.oasis-open.org
rather than including copies
- Deleted the EMIX subdirectory containing EMIX
WD03 schema copies
- Deleted the readme.txt file that said that the
EMIX schemas were not yet published, describing the
work around
Thanks!
