Hi David et al.,

If this is just a matter of logging in I can take care of this for you.

David, please let me know if you want to talk about this.

Best,

Brett

Subject: [cam] Inquiry about status of spec & charter


OASIS CAM TC members:

    I noted the recent uploading of a "release candidate" v1.1 CAM 
specification to the TC's repository. [1]  We are pleased to see 
this progress on a promising project.  We will be happy to assist if 
the committee plans to follow the path described in David Webber's 
19 September message.[2]
    In doing so, please advise me of the meeting schedule for the 
TC.  We do not have a record of any TC meetings during the last 
year.  If all business is to be conducted by asynchronous ballot, 
the TC may wish to consider adopting a Standing Rule (as 
contemplated by Section 2.4 of the OASIS TC Process)[3] to allocate 
voting membership accordingly.  Section 2,15 of those rules permits 
and in some cases requires OASIS staff to close a technical 
committee that falls below certain activity indicators -- one of 
which is no meetings or specification ballots for a six month 
period.  So it would be helpful for us to be kept appraised of your 
progress.
     When you next act to approve a draft spec, you also should 
update your charter [4], which currently sets no deliverables past 
the already-approved v1.0 specification.  The current additional 
improvements should be added to the list of plans, so that the TC 
does not appear to have completed its work, which also would trigger 
closure.
     Please feel free to contact me with any questions.  I will work 
with your chairperson to frame appropriate resolutions.

Best regards  JBC
