RE: [chairs] public comment web form

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

One could always argue that the chair
can forward the comment with a reply to the TC mail list rather than a
private response. I was more concerned that this takes what was an open
communication (posting to an email list) and turns it into a private communication
(email to the chair). This seems to go against the open nature of OASIS.

Karl,

I agree with Lauren. At least a limited form of public discussion seems
like a valuable portion of what OASIS provides. What was the board's
thinking on this?

change will take place.  


Karl,

how do we then ask clarifying questions, or make quick replies (along
the lines of "see section 2.1. in the spec - isn't that clear
enough?" 

I can understand not wanting full discussions, but we often do need
clarifying discussions to know what the comment provider really
meant. And I'd rather not have that take place in private email.
