Subject: [xtm-wg] MOTION: TopicMaps.Org Member Section under OASIS
I have been watching the mailing list over the past week or so and have seen only positive comments about the possibility of a move to OASIS. Therefore I would propose the following: ================================================================ MOTION: The chairman of TopicMaps.Org (and his designates) is hereby requested to begin work to create an OASIS Member Section, to be provisionally called TopicMaps.Org. This work is to be completed by August 1, 2001. ================================================================ DEADLINE/DETAILS: This will need a second. It is a YES/NO vote. All AG members in good standing are requested to vote on this motion to the mailing list by close of business on June 15, 2001. DISCUSSION: If this motion passes, I will contact OASIS and any organizational members of OASIS who are also AG members [currently DataChannel (Eric), Sun (Murray), RivCom (Daniel), empolis (Graham), Mondeca (Jean)]. This group will: 1) create the member section under OASIS bylaws; 2) define an interim charter to be approved at Extreme Markup in Montreal (must include the goals of the member section, intended work products, manner of governance) - the OASIS board must approve this also; 3) select an interim chair [the advisory board (a permanent chair, technical director and marketing director) must be elected in August, unless our charter says we don't want to do that structure]. The goal is to have the groundwork in place for a member recruitment meeting one evening during the week of Extreme Markup in Montreal, sponsored by OASIS. If this motion passes, the meeting on August 18 will be a meeting of the member section to hold elections, approve a charter, designate technical committees and hopefully begin work. Some of the other technicality work, like votes by the AG to move, etc. will be done through email prior to the conference. <!-- **************************************************************** Eric Freese Email: eric@isogen.com Director - Professional Services - Midwest Voice: 651 636 9180 ISOGEN International/DataChannel Fax: 651 636 9191 1611 West County Road B - Suite 204 WWW: www.isogen.com St. Paul, MN 55113 www.datachannel.com ***************************************************************** --> To Post a message, send it to: xtm-wg@eGroups.com To Unsubscribe, send a blank message to: xtm-wg-unsubscribe@eGroups.com Your use of Yahoo!
