Subject: [chairs] RE: TAB Charter proposal
TC Chairs: The OASIS Techncial Advisory Board (TAB) has requested that the OASIS Board revise their charter, and as the requested revision concerns the OASIS TCs the Board would like to give the TC chairs the opportunity to comment. The TAB's current charter (see http://www.oasis-open.org/tab/#charter) is to "advise the OASIS Board of Directors (Board) on matters related to supporting the technical agenda of OASIS". The TAB would in addition like to be able to work with the TCs in areas listed below. The Board will be considering this proposal at their next meeting on 21 November; please send me your comments by 18 November so that I can compile and submit them to the Board. thanks -Karl -----Original Message----- From: Eduardo Gutentag [mailto:eduardo.gutentag@sun.com] Sent: Friday, November 08, 2002 6:51 PM To: oasisboard@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: OASIS TAB Subject: [oasisboard] TAB Charter proposal Dear OASIS Board, Over the past few months, since our first meeting on June 17, the TAB has been struggling with the fact that our charter does not allow us to contact TCs directly and all our communications must pass through the Board of Directors. While this is understandable inasmuch as the TAB is a Committee of the Board, and the Board envisions it only as an advisory committee with no powers of execution, it does make some of our efforts ineffective. In that spirit, we would like to propose to the Board a small modification of the charter, which would allow the TAB to get in direct contact with Technical Committees in the fulfillment of its charter, viz. the addition of a section 1.2.iv such that section 1.2 would now read: ------- 2.Support the OASIS technical process i. Support technical committees by providing review and guidance on scope and deliverables of technical work ii. Recommend areas of collaboration within OASIS technical committees and with other outside standards activities iii. Recommend guidelines and other processes that will support the OASIS technical process e.g. development of standard templates, best practices, tools and infrastructure iv. Communicate directly with the appropriate technical committess as required to carry out the activities described above. ------- (The current charter can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/tab/#charter) Please note the reduced scope of the requested modification - it would touch only section 1.2 This would also be a good opportunity for the Board to change the word "within" in 1.2.ii with "between", since that section supposedly refers to collaboration between TCs rather than within TCs.
