RE: [chairs] TC FAQ Template

["Carol Geyer" <carol.geyer@oasis-open.org>]

Anne,
Excellent points. I'm forwarding your email to the TAB list; they may want to revise their FAQ template to address your comments. 

If anyone else would like to provide feedback on the document, please send suggestions directly to the TAB. I'm sure they will
welcome input.

Thanks,
Carol

Carol,

Some of this does not seem appropriate for a FAQ:

6. Is it anticipated that TC deliverables will be broadly used, deployed, and/or implemented?
Or are the deliverables intended for a narrow audience, possibly including only the TC membership?

7. Do you see external factors that should help a broad acceptance and deployment of the specifications from this TC?
And factors that may potentially hinder a broad acceptance and deployment?

...

10. Have the authors and their companies considered further ways to promote the produced specification(s) after completion (PR,
marketing, campaigns, industry consortia....)

These seem like questions for the TC itself, but not for the external FAQ.

Regards,
Anne Anderson
