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.
