OASIS member review of proposed revision of TC Process

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS members:

You're aware that the OASIS Board of Directors has been working on a 
revision of the OASIS IPR Policy, and you have had an opportunity to 
give feedback on that proposed revision.

The Board has also been working on a revision of the OASIS TC Process, 
the document that governs the creation and operation of TCs at OASIS, 
and the advancement and approval of the work they do. This revision 
includes changes suggested by TC chairs, the Technical Advisory Board 
(TAB), and other members. It also includes changes required to support 
the new IPR Policy; because these two documents rely on each other they 
must be revised, approved, and become effective at the same time.

The Board has approved an OASIS member review of the revised Process; 
this review will start today and go until 10 November. A draft of the 
revised TC Process document approved for member review by the Board is 
found at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/members-only/download.php/9623/TC%20Process%2020041007.pdf. 


A document summarizing the changes from the current Process is at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/members-only/download.php/9621/Process%20revision%20summary.pdf

Please send your comments in regards to these proposed changes to 
tcproc-member-review@lists.oasis-open.org by 10 November, so that the 
Board can consider your comments, make changes to this draft, and have 
the Process document ready to be effective at the same time as the new 
IPR Policy.
