Subject: FW: [chairs] Changes to OASIS TC Comment Facilitiy
Comment on Appendix A - feedback license: The form states: The "OASIS ___________ Technical Committee" is developing technology (the "OASIS ____________ Specification") as defined by its charter and welcomes input, suggestions and other feedback ("Feedback") on the OASIS ____________ Specification. This sounds like the feedback license is limited to work on a specific specification. However, many TCs have other items as their deliverables (technical notes, white papers, etc. etc.). In order to make this form generic to cover all the deliverables a TC may develop you need to delete "(the "OASIS ____________ Specification")" and "on the OASIS ____________ Specification" Comment on "subscribe to the list" paragraph on the "Send a comment" landing page (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form-test.php?wg_abbrev=d ita). There should be some instruction in this paragraph that tells the user what to do (enter words in the subject line, or in the body, or send a blank e-mail, etc.).

I tried to subscribe a couple different ways, but did not get a notification back. So I don't know whether I actually subscribed or not, and as a result, am not able to comment on the subscription message... Maybe I am not in the right place to subscribe to the list. Where is the test list located?

An initial step, which should significantly minimize spam postings in Committee comment lists, will be to eliminate the "comment form" and switch to a subscription-based email list. Each subscription request will require a confirmation, which will include agreement to the Feedback License. We have set up a test list and encourage you to subscribe, read through the text of the subscription message, and provide feedback. Send email to: shoes-markup-comment-subscribe@lists.oasis-open.org We believe this change has numerous benefits, including: - closing the access point that was allowing spam to get through, - allowing comment submitters to use their email tool of choice and the additional functionality it provides, - providing an authenticated email address for sender with a reliable means of responding to the submitter, and - offering the ability to enter a meaningful subject line that is included in the email archive. We have also rewritten the "Send A Comment" landing page to contain useful information, including: - instructions for subscribing and other details related to the email list, - an overview of what happens to submitted feedback, and - related mailing lists for the TC (-dev, -users, etc.). The new "Send A Comment" landing page can be previewed here: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form-test.php?wg_abbrev=di ta In order to put this new functionality in place, all existing subscribers to current comment lists will be automatically unsubscribed -- notification will be sent to each subscriber letting them know that the change is taking place and that they should re-subscribe after the launch date. Chairs and secretaries will be automatically re-subscribed to their TC's comment list. Please provide any feedback to the chairs list on or before Thursday, 1 June 2006. After reviewing the feedback we will notify the chairs list as well as tc-comment list subscribers of any changes, and announce the planned roll-out date.
