Subject: Re: [ws-rx] Designated Cross References


Monica

Thanks for the detailed feedback. Given that we have a motion from the 
TC to proceed with a CS vote including DCR references to the SX CS vote, 
and there is no consensus to change that decision, then I think we 
should continue the process and ask Mary to start the CS Ballot.

If the specification used for the final vote does not have the CS WS-SX set of references, there is a chance some members may vote NO during the final ballot, since they may be concerned that the specification is pointing to editors' drafts of the WS-SX set. I'd be cautious in pursuing other than Option #1.

This could raise concerns, result in comments, or influence votes for OASIS Standard.  I suggest we take the safer bet with Option #1.
