[office] Revised ODF 1.2 Part 1 Public Review Ballot Motion

[Michael Brauer - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM>]

Dear TC members,

last week I had made a motion for approving ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD03 Rev 07
as Committee Draft, and to send it out for a 60-day public review. This
motion has been seconded.

Dennis made a motion to split the ballot into one for the Committee
Draft approval, and one for the public review. This motion has not been
seconded.

Dennis further made a motion to extend the public review period to 90
days. This motion has been seconded. This means that we not only have to
vote regarding a CD and a public review, but also about the duration of 
the public review (60 or 90 days).

To consider that motion on the hand, and to provide the TC with the
flexibility to possibly revise the draft after 60 days review or to
conduct a combined review of all three parts after 60 days on the other
hand, Rob has made the following proposal: We start with a 60 day public 
review, but possibly vote for extending the review by 30 days towards 
the end of the review. He has further confirmed with the OASIS TC 
administration that this is possible.

Essentially, this means that the requested ballot regarding extending 
the public review to 90 days would be deferred towards the end the 
public review if it is not withdrawn or replaced by other motions. If we 
include the option to run a ballot regarding extending the public review 
any time between now and the end of the public review, we actually 
consider both motions that have been seconded, but also Rob's proposal.

I therefore intent to setup the following ballot:

=====
Shall the OASIS ODF TC approve ODF 1.2 Part 1 CD03 Rev 07

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200912/msg00002.html

and the corresponding schema files

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200910/msg00455.html

as a Committee Draft, and shall that Committee Draft be send out for a
60-day Public Review, with the option to extend the public review by 30
days, if a motion for this is made and approved before or during the
public review.

Shall further the external stakeholders listed below being
notified regarding the public review?

- OASIS ODF Interoperability and Conformance TC,
- OASIS ODF Adoption TC,
- JTC1/SC34.


Shall further from the three versions of the specification document
(ODF, PDF and HTML) that will be produced after approval as committee
draft the ODF version be the authoritative one?
=====

I intent to set up an additional ballot for extending the review by 30
days in parallel if that is requested by those TC members who made the 
motion to extend the public review to 90 days, or seconded that.

Best regards

Michael
