Re: [sca-bindings] Re: Groups - Ballot closed: "Approve SCA Web Service Binding Specification v1.1 as a Committee Specification"

Hi Simon,

Was traveling for the three prior weeks and didn't get a chance to 
respond. Our 'no' vote was cast with a lot of thought and internal 
debate. Here is the explanation of our vote:


After spending a long time working on the SCA specs, it is with regret 
that we are casting a 'no' vote on the SCA WS binding spec. This 
specification is up for approval as a CS almost six years after the TC 
was chartered. Meanwhile, in spite of the promise of SCA, the uptake of 
SCA by the industry has fallen well short of expectations. Mostly 
because of the large delay in producing the final standards and lack of 
timely implementations that met the exit criteria set up by the TC. The 
industry and technology has since then moved on to different things. We 
see this standard as arriving too late and don't see a lot of point in 
creating one. All the CSD that are published should be available 
publicly forever and we believe that to be sufficient.


Thanks.

-Anish
