Subject: FORMAL: Revised rules for UBL localization subcommittees
Hello UBL TC, On 6 April, I sent you a proposal for revising our rules regarding UBL localization subcommittees: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200604/msg00024.html Having received no substantive responses, I'm going to assume that you are OK with the proposed changes and now put this to you formally. On approval, the revised rules below will replace the LSC rules adopted in 2003: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200311/msg00006.html If any voting member of the UBL TC disagrees with adoption of the revised rules below, please signify the same by posting an objection to this list no later than COB Sunday 30 April 2006. If you have no objection to adoption of the revised rules, do nothing.
