Bob or Simon;

Can either of you provide any details from the BOD meeting regarding
setting up XML.org as an advisory committee and the proposal from
Documentum and SUN?

Thanks,

Michael

Hi,

We never heard the outcome of the Boards meeting last week regarding the
decision to move forward with Sun and Documentum's proposal.

We assume that it was approved, but I would like to have official minutes
and record of that decision.

Thanks,
Una

I've reviewed Terry's analysis and agree with it.  What's needed
now is the actual resolution that the board should adopt.  Here's
a first cut.  The name "Advisory Committee for XML.org" (ACXO) can
be considered a placeholder.

##################################################################
FORMATION OF THE ADVISORY COMMITTEE FOR XML.ORG (ACXO)
##################################################################

The OASIS Advisory Committee for XML.org (ACXO) is hereby created
as an advisory committee of the OASIS Board of Directors.

1. Purpose and authority

   The ACXO is empowered to advise the OASIS Board of Directors
   regarding the operation and maintenance of XML.org.

2. Membership

   The ACXO shall initially consist of [ex officio positions go
   here; for example, the Executive Director of OASIS, the
   OASIS CTO, etc., one of them possibly being designated the
   chair of the ACXO], and representatives of the following
   organizations:

      [names of initial paying member organizations go here]

3. Representation

   Each member organization shall be entitled to designate one
   principal and one alternate representative.  Principals and
   alternates must be certified by [somebody official, for example
   the OASIS Secretary] before attending their first meeting.

   In formal business of the ACXO, each member organization shall
   have one vote, which shall be exercised by its principal
   representative or by its alternate representative.  Designation
   of an alternate to act in place of the principal representative
   shall require advance notice to and approval of the chair of
   the ACXO, and substitution of one for the other shall not be
   allowed once a meeting has begun.

4. Meetings of the ACXO shall be governed by Robert's Rules of
   Order, as such rules may be revised from time to time, insofar
   as such rules are not inconsistent with or in conflict with
   this order or other orders adopted by the OASIS Board of
   Directors, with the OASIS bylaws, with the OASIS Articles of
   Incorporation, or with provisions of law.

5. Member organizations shall be added to or removed from the ACXO
   by resolution of the Board of Directors.
