[legalxml-courtfiling] June 20-21 organizational meeting of OASISCourt Filing TC

["John M. Greacen" <john@greacen.net>]

Dear colleagues:

    I write to convey some very positive news and to provide details for
the June 20-21organizational meeting of the Court Filing Technical
Committee.

    First -- Mary McQueen, state court administrator for the state of
Washington,
former chair of the Conference of State Court Administrators, current
chair of the National Consortium for State Court Automation Standards,
and a member of the COSCA/NACM Joint Technology Committee, has agreed to
become public sector co-chair of our Technical Committee.  Moira Rowley
will move at the organizational meeting that Mary replace her as
co-chair so that one of our co-chairs will be a state court official.
Mary has taken an active interest in our work; Washington state is using
the Court Filing 1.1 specification; Mary will give us a strong voice
within
the Conference of State Court Administrators and the Joint Technology
Committee.

    The first, organizational, meeting of the OASIS Legal XML member
section Court Filing Technical Committee will take place on June 20 and
21.  The meeting is technically a conference call.  However, a large
group of members (we are currently expecting around 20) will convene in
Salt Lake City for the meeting.

    The conference call will take place from 3:00 to 5:00 pm MDT (5:00
to 7:00 pm EDT) on Thursday, June 20th, using a Lexis telephone bridge.
The number is

                  937-865-6825

All features of the audio bridge are automated.  You merely need to call
in at the correct time. I will take a formal role call at 3:15 pm;
persons present at that time will be recorded as attending the meeting.
Members will be responsible for the costs of their telephone calls to
the Lexis bridge.

The bridge will accommodate eleven callers, in addition to the persons
calling in from Salt Lake City.  Given the current membership of the
Technical Committee, and the large number of persons planning to be in
Salt Lake City, that number of lines should suffice.  The eleven lines
will go to the first eleven persons to call the Lexus bridge.  Multiple
attendees from a single firm should gather on a single speaker phone to
minimize their use of the available lines.

    The OASIS Legal XML Member Section steering committee will hold a
conference call meeting on the same audio bridge from 5:00 to 6:00 pm
MDT (7:00 to 8:00 pm EDT), following the Court Filing TC conference
call.

    The meeting of TC members in Salt Lake City will be hosted by Jerome
Battle of the Utah Administrative Office of the Courts and Toby Brown of
the Utah Bar
Association.  The meeting will be held at:

                Utah Courts Offices
                Scott Matheson Courthouse
                450 South State Street
                Salt Lake City, UT

    The face to face part of the meeting will be from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm
on June 20th and 8:00 am to 4:00 pm on June 21st.  The CMS/API
subcommittee will meet the afternoon of June 19th from 1:00 pm to 5:00
pm at the same location.  All actions of the Technical Committee will be
taken only during the 3:00 pm to 5:00 pm telephone conference call on
June 20th.

    We have blocked 25 courtside rooms for June 19, 20, 21 (checking out
