To OASIS members:

       On 1 January 2007 review materials were sent out for the following 
Committee Specification set that has been submitted for consideration as an OASIS Standard:

Open Document Format for Office Applications (OpenDocument) Specification v1.1

      specification):
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/20844/OpenDocument-strict-schema-v1.1-cs1.rng


     This Committee Specification was approved by the TC and was subject to a required 60-day public review. Afterwards,
the review materials were sent out to the membership of OASIS for the required 15-day familiarization period. Those
materials can be found at:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200701/msg00001.html.

     As the required review and familiarization periods have now been completed, it is time to vote. I am sending out a
Call For Vote to the voting representatives of each organizational member of OASIS. The applicable process rules can be
found at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#3.4. The minimum number of affirmative votes required to approve this
ballot is 50 (15% of 331).

     As each OASIS organizational member has only one vote, participants should give their input to their organization's
voting representative. If you don't know the identity of your organization's voting representative is, go to the My
Account page at
http://www.oasis-open.org/members/user_tools then select the link for View Company Roster, then look for the name
designated as "Primary".

     The ballot can be viewed at:
