Discussion List for Conformance

[Mary McRae <marypmcrae@gmail.com>]

Greetings everyone,

 

  Staff is very positive about the idea of creating a discussion list for conformance. There is no requirement that at the end of the 90 days a new TC must be formed; the input could also result in a new subcommittee, or nothing at all. If someone is willing to prepare a preliminary statement of scope we can get the list up and running in a couple of days. Note that non-members can participate in discussion lists, potentially broadening the audience and expertise in the group.

 

  Most requests take the actual form below - inserting the requisite information where appropriate. Let me know if there's anything else you need!

 

Regards,

 

Mary

No later than 15 days following the submission, the OASIS TC Administrator shall provide these materials to the membership with a Call For Participation in a discussion list whose purpose is to propose the TC described in the application.

Discussion on the list is restricted to evaluating the interest in proposing a new OASIS TC, and defining the proposal for one or more new OASIS TCs. The list of subscribers to the discussion list shall be available to all subscribers. The discussion list shall automatically close 90 days after the Call For Participation is issued.
