Subject: Status of proposed joint approval process WebCGM 2.1
Congratulations on your approval of the first Committee Draft of WebCGM v2.1 at today's meeting. We would like to confirm some matters regarding the transmission of the work for joint processing by W3C. As you know, your team recommended to us that we simply extend the original W3C-OASIS MoU (which set out the joint development track for WebCGM v2.0) to apply the same arrangements to WebCGM v2.1. I have recommended this to our interim President, and do not anticipate a problem or long delay. Informally we also have some indications that W3C is fine with this approach. Still, there is one timing matter I'd like to confirm. If I understand correctly, Lofton and my colleague Mary McRae, the TC's staff contact, both advised that the path used for last round's submission can work again, in the same way. (Thus, as Lofton'd suggested, we can use a very short "just do the same thing again" MoU amendment, instead of a substantial alteration of the agreed sequence.) But that assumes that the same timing & sequence of approval levels as for v2.0. Among other things, the OASIS TC artifact would complete its 'committee specification' approval, including the public review phase, before being sent over to the W3C Graphics Activity. Here's why I mention it: the first v2.1 Committee Draft was approved today. If it;s the last CD, and sent for public review immediately, the public review starting now would end no sooner that late May and, assuming no substantive changes, a CS approved no sooner than early June .. which is when it would be officially transmitted to W3C for its work to commence. If that's NOT correct, we'd need to hear from you, and (now, up front) we would need to alter the MoU before signing, after understanding it and stating exactly at what phase(s) the doc is to be crosscontributed. Thanks and regards. Jamie ~ James Bryce Clark ~ Director of Standards Development, OASIS ~ http://www.oasis-open.org/who/staff.php#clark
