Ok I'll start the process (later in the week) of
moving all this discussion to the proper list, and set up a different procedure,
to make sure that SRU discussion won't be inhibited.

mandatory Atom Feeds
Hi everyone,
First, let me say that I no idea
what the "zng" list is, but Farrukh is absolutely right. All feedback to
the TC from non TC members (which includes OASIS members who aren't active
participants in this TC) must come through the official feedback mechanism,
a/k/a the comment list (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/index.php?wg_abbrev=search-ws). The
TC is free to solicit input from any groups it feels appropriate, but
such messages should indicate that all response must be posted to the TC
comment list.
Typically feedback/comments are requested when
a document is sent out (by the OASIS TC Administrator - me) for a public
review period. Any comments received during a public review must be logged
and their resolution duly noted. Comments received at other times do not
require logging or a response, although most TCs choose to do
so.
>From Section 2.8 of the TC Process: " The purpose of the
TC's public comment facility is to receive comments from the public and is
not for public discussion. Comments shall be publicly archived, and shall
be forwarded to one or more Members of the TC including the TC Chair. TCs
shall not be required to respond to comments. Comments to the TC made by
Members of the TC must be made via the TC general email list, and comments
made by non-TC members, including from the public, must be made via
the TC's comment facility. Comments shall not be accepted via any other
means."
Please feel free to contact me should you have further
questions or need assistance.
All the
best,
Mary
