RE: [chairs] Process Committee Meetings Invite

["Kristen Eberlein" <keberlein@sdl.com>]

Dear Jeff:

Thanks for dedicating future meetings of the Process Committee to
listening to OASIS members' concerns about the new processes. I think
this will be very helpful, and I can assure you that members of the DITA
TC will participate (despite the fact that the meetings conflict with
our regular TC meeting time.)

In the mean time, I hope that people will continue to discuss their
concerns on the chairs mailing list. I've found the discussion so far to
be fruitful and thought provoking.

Best regards,
Kris

Subject: [chairs] Process Committee Meetings Invite

Dear Chairs and other concerned members,

The Process committee has been tracking the email exchanged on the  
Chairs list regarding the recently adopted changes to the TC Process.

We appreciate your concerns and we after some review have divided them  
into the following categories:

1. Public Review Requirement for Committee Note Drafts
2. Templates
3. Approved Errata

We would like to have the opportunity to hear from you directly,  
consequently, we have dedicated several Process Committee calls to the  
first two topics.
Process Committee meetings are Tuesdays at 11:00AM - noon Pacific Time.

Jan 11, 2011 - Public Review Requirement for CNDs

Jan 25, 2011 - Templates

Feb 8, 2011 (tentative) - Approved Errata
    There actually has been no change to this part of the TC Process  
in several years. The Process Committee is currently considering how  
to address "maintenance"  (to make use of the recent change to the IPR  
Policy regarding maintenance) and also how to handle PAS submissions  
and changes that may result from working with JTC 1. This may entail  
some changes to Approved Errata so we're interested in hearing  
concerns about it so that we can consider them in the larger context.

You are cordially invited to participate in these meetings so that we  
are sure that your concerns are heard.
Please attend if you wish and forward this email/invite those who you  
feel might contribute to a constructive dialog.

   We look forward to your contributions.
       thank you,
        jeff mischkinsky, Chair Process Committee
