Subject: Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee Charter - DRAFT 1
Hi, Here's a very preliminary draft of charter for an OpenCSA Inter- SCA TC Liaison Committee - i emphasize the preliminary. The Board Process Committee is still working on the exact changes to the process documents, but there is consensus that the notion of member section committees (or whatever they wind up being named) will be added and there is rough consensus on what the form and powers are likely to be. In order for us to make some concrete progress I put this together to start a concrete discussion. I'm sure there are obvious things i've left out or got wrong. fire away ! cheers, jeff OpenCSA Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee DRAFT 1 The OPenCSA Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee is chartered to provide an official forum for the discussion by the TCs of common issues that cross SCA TC boundaries. Its membership shall consist of of representatives from each SCA TC (at least one from each TC), OpenCSA Steering Committee members, and possibly other invited TC members. The OpenCSA SC shall appoint the members for one-year renewable terms. Each SCA TC shall recommend to the SC at least one member to represent itself on the C. The actual composition and number is flexible in order to accommodate changing needs and requirements. However each SCA TC should have at least one TC member to represent its interests and to assure reliable communications. It is also contemplated that the SC should also have at least one of its members serving to ensure a reliable communication channel between the SC and the Committee. All of the Committee's work shall be visible to the public (i.e. all documents, email archives, agenda, discussions, shall be publicly viewable). The Committee, as its first order of business shall elect a Chair. In the absence of such an elected Chair the SC member shall serve as a pro tem chair until such time as the Committee can elect one. C meetings, (teleconference and/or face to face) shall be posted in advance. The meetings shall be open to other MS and TC members as observers. Observers may participate in meetings at the discretion of the chair. Any eligible OASIS member may subscribe to the C mail list and post to it. The purpose of the C is to provide a forum for the discussion of common issues that cut across the SCA TCs. The purpose of the C is NOT to make technical decisions or other decisions that are within the scope of TCs as described in the various OASIS Process documents. The powers of the C are limited to making non-binding recommendations to other OpenCSA TCs and the SC. The kinds of activities within its scope are the discussion of common process issues. the tracking (not resolution of) of cross TC technical issues to make sure the designated TC liaisons are aware of them and that the relevant TCs take appropriate action, and making recommendations to the SC of other actions it might take to improve coordination of the work of the OpenCSA TCs. Examples of these might include spec naming conventions, testing methodologies, and scheduling/coordinatio of multi-TC meetings when necessary. other powers/duties of the C? -- Jeff Mischkinsky jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com Director, Oracle Fusion Middleware and Web Services Standards +1(650) 506-1975 Consulting Member Technical Staff 500 Oracle Parkway, M/ S 4OP9 Oracle Redwood Shores, CA 94065
