Subject: CALL FOR NOMINATIONS for Conformance TC


Dear Colleagues

Please read the following - Call for Nominations and if you are willing to participate in this Committee, please respond by May 20, 2000.

regards
Lynne Rosenthal.


CALL FOR NOMINATIONS:  OASIS INTEROPERABILITY/CONFORMANCE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE

The OASIS Interoperability/Conformance Technical Committee is being formed to provide a forum where interested parties can discuss issues that are pertinent to interoperability and conformance of XML-based recommendations. 

Lynne Rosenthal and Mary Brady, NIST, have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the proposed committee.

The proposed deliverables of the TC are as follows:

1) Develop "What is Conformance Testing?" document.
2) Develop guidelines for building conformance test suites.
3) Provide on-going support of completed test suites.
4) Provide support for XML-based conformance testing efforts
5) Identify potential XML-based recommendations that can benefit   from a conformance testing effort. 

In the year following its proposed formation, the TC is expected to conduct its work via email discussions and call meetings ‘as necessary’ at OASIS sponsored events  i.e., XML Europe, Summer workshop, XML Fall.  An introductory meeting is planned for XML Europe, Paris on Wednesday, June 14 2000.

Upon startup, the TC will consist of a set of voting members and a set of non-voting observers. The voting members will be those who have been appointed by the ACTC from among persons nominating themselves in response to this call. Note that voting members must be able to promise attendance at meetings in order to meet quorum requirements. Therefore, OASIS members wishing to track and comment upon the work of the TC in the mailing list but not to attend its meetings regularly should subscribe to the mailing list but not apply for voting membership.

Members of this list willing to commit to voting participation in the OASIS Interoperability/Conformance Technical Committee are hereby requested to respond to this list no later than May 20, 2000 with the following statement:

I agree with the purpose of the Interoperability/Conformance TC as stated above.

I understand that OASIS technical committees regularly meet in person or by phone and that participation in the Interoperability/Conformance TC will require me to attend most of its meetings.  Based on the estimated meeting schedule given above, I certify that I have the means and the interest to attend such meetings and that I intend to do so.

I understand that the TC cannot transact business in the absence of a quorum or take action by mail ballot without the active participation of its members and that therefore failure to attend meetings and vote in mail ballots will result in my removal from the committee. I promise to submit a letter of resignation to the chair or chairs of the committee if in the future I find myself unable to participate actively in its work.
