  3. Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the
specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such,
are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;

I can certify that all the schemas and wsdl files are valid, and the fragments
of XML that appear in the spec are well-formed.

   4. A clear English-language summary of the specification;

WS-Notification is a family of related specifications that define a standard Web
services approach to notification using a topic-based publish/subscribe pattern.
It includes: standard message exchanges to be implemented by service providers
that wish to participate in Notifications, standard message exchanges for a
notification broker service provider (allowing publication of messages from
entities that are not themselves service providers), operational requirements
expected of service providers and requestors that participate in notifications,
and an XML model that describes topics. The WS-Notification family of documents
includes three normative specifications: WS-BaseNotification,
WS-BrokeredNotification, and WS-Topics.

   5. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar
work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;

The WSN specifications make use of the OASIS WSRF specifications, and are
themselves used by OASIS WSDM.

A spec similar to WS-BaseNotification, called WS-Eventing, has been submitted to
the W3C as a member submission, see http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/03/

The W3C has noted the similarity to the work of the WS-Notification TC, see
http://www.w3.org/Submission/2006/03/Comment

   6. Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that they are
successfully using the specification;

Certifications are available at

ballot;

The ballot ran from 24th July to 31st July 2006 - see
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1077
The TC agreed that we could combine voting on the Committee Specs and submission
of the specs into a single vote, so the ballot question was

"Shall the TC
(a) approve version 1.3 of WS-BaseNotification, at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/wsn-ws_base_notification-1.3-spec-pr-03.doc,
as a Committee Specification, and
(b) approve version 1.3 of WS-BrokeredNotification, at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/wsn-ws_brokered_notification-1.3-spec-pr-03.doc,
 as a Committee Specification, and
(c) approve version 1.3 of WS-Topics, at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsn/wsn-ws_topics-1.3-spec-pr-02.doc, as a Committee
Specification, and
(d) send all three specifications for membership vote as an OASIS Standard?
"

Thirteen out of Fourteen eligible members voted. Of these twelve were in favour
and one was against. The vote against was from Oracle corporation, with the
following comment "i object to d) at this stage without some confirmation that
there are implementations of a, b and c. I have no problem voting yes to a, b
and c.".  Note that the ballot was conducted before we had all the
certifications published (see response 6).

attempts to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the

not vote in favor of approving the Committee Specification, which report may
include statements regarding why the member voted against the specification or
that the member believes that Substantive Changes were made which have not gone
through public review; or certification by the Chair that no minority reports
exist.
