Hi Jennifer & all -
I am concerned about you promoting the working draft copy in Kavi of the eTMF spec. This working draft is not in our official template and candidly has some errors. I am concerned that by promoting this at the conference you are setting the stage for confusion once I announce the public review and people see a document that, on its surface, looks very different. Also, I am sure that you will get people trying to comment on this document and they shouldn't do that.
Also, the release notes you prepared incorrectly direct people to send comments to
etmf@lists.oasis-open.org. That email address is only for TC members and non-members may not send email - Kavi will reject them. Non-TC members submit their comments to
etmf-comment@lists.oasis-open.org. That is the *only* channel through which the TC may accept feedback because it is the only channel that ensures you are receiving the comments subject to the same IPR conditions that the TC operates under. The proper steps are to direct people to
https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=etmf for instructions on how to subscribe to the comment list and then send feedback to it.
I realize that you are all anxious to get the draft out there and start gathering feedback. I'm anxious for you as well and that's why we are at work on the Committee Spec Draft and Public Review Drafts published now. And I certainly want you to promote it and circulate it. I'm just concerned that showing the world the internal Kavi copy as the first glimpse is going to do more damage to the TC than good.
When the public review draft is published, it will be available at
Those - or one of those - are the URLs to promote. Those will be the official OASIS versions of the document.
Thanks for your understanding,
