Re: [xcbf] Re: xcbf vote status

[Tyky Aichelen <tyky@us.ibm.com>]

If we don't get it passed this time, we will resubmit it again in
September. We should be able to retry, right Karl? It cannot die.

This is important stuff for the industry, especially now that Security and
Privacy are the hottest areas of computing, eLegal, eBusiness, eCommerce,
eGovernment, Life Sciences,etc. There is even an Act passed as law already
in California regarding Security and Privacy.

 We the companies need this standard to deploy our products and OASIS needs
this formal standard to enhance its prestige, usefulness, richness of scope
and focus.

Yes,we will discuss the next steps tomorrow at our telecon. Here is the
details:

I am afraid I have nothing to offer on how to get the extra votes.  I do
not
believe we have ever acheived wide contact with comnpanies in OASIS that
are not
part of the XCBF work.

We either get the silent and unknowing majority voting YES, or else we have

problems.

I guess part of the problem is that we are balloting during the holiday
season.

What happens if the ballot fails?  Is it possible to retry?  Or does it
just die?

Maybe we discuss that tommorrow - is 9AM pacific time 6pm UK time?  I guess
it
is.  I will try to join if I can, but I do not have a lot more to say.

Can you circulate the telephone details?  (And confirm the time in GMT or
whatever) I am sure I have these details buried somewhere in old e-mail,
but a
refresh would be helpful.

Thanks.
