Correct. But I've found that not
everyone is aware of that. The fact that we received several NB comments
last year via back channels and none (that I can recall) via the comment
line is some evidence of this. Hopefully one result of this will
be that SC34 is made more aware of this facility.
They could also be reminded of their
ability to join OASIS as well as our policies for authorizing TC Liaisons

Hi everyone,
Just chiming in to state
what I hope is obvious: that *anyone* is able to communicate with a TC
via the comments list - a question could be posed, the TC can then come
up with an agreed-upon answer, and respond to the requestor.
Regards,
Mary

That is always an option for the TC, whenever we have a chunk of work that
is large enough and specialized enough to warrant a subcommittee to work
on it.
But I wouldn't read this resolution as being focused entirely on Ecma 376,
though that is certainly a topic of interest, For example you may
recall last year, during the ISO ballot of ODF 1.0, that there were some
awkward times when a NB had some questions about IRI's or BiDi support
and could not figure out how to officially ask the TC questions. So
such questions were handled informally, via intermediaries, etc. I'd
like to do better in this area when we submit ODF 1.2, so that SC34 knows
that we value their questions and their input.
