Hi, Mary.
Regarding the information in the detailed walkthrough:
“Working Drafts must use the template that will be prepared
by TC Administration and returned to the TC.”
What is this template and where is it documented?
Best
regards,
Kris

Sure; I also sent a note to all TC members (tcmembers@lists.oasis-open.org)
last Thursday; if you didn't get it please let me know since it's one of those
automated lists that's supposed to go to everyone who is a Member in a TC.
The new policy is here:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2010-07-28.php
FAQs are here:

A detailed walk-through of the new Work Product lifecycle is

Hi everyone,
Kris and Paul both bring up great points - and
we've done just that. From now on any and all White Papers must be produced on
the non-Standards Track. All approved work products will be maintained on docs.oasis-open.org.
There will be a mandatory 30-day review before something can be considered
final and approved as a Committee Note. OASIS Staff will update the TC's home
page and Kavi document repository when the files are available on docs.oasis-open.org.
Please feel free to contact me with any questions!
Regards,
Mary

Standards are like parachutes: they work best when they're open.

Paul brings up a very good point.
We’ve talked previously about having a formal process for
publishing white papers. Since publishing white papers has been the primary
activity of the TC this past year. I think it would be smart to put an official
policy in place.
Here is the URL for a previous list post about this:
Let’s put this on the agenda for a future TC meeting.
And I do apologize for publicizing this white paper too quickly.

We all have other jobs and real lives. No one is suggesting
that we put our OASIS TC work ahead of everything else. I realize I spend
a lot less time on DITA TC work than some others, and I very much appreciate
the time that is put in by you who do. (I spend more time on W3C work,
and in the past I've spent much more on standards--I was the CTO for OASIS [née
SGML Open] for its first 5 years driving its entire standards process.)
However, we should develop a better process here. It's wrong
for something to be announced publicly when it isn't listed on the TC's
official home page. It wasn't the email to the DITA Adoption TC saying
the document was available that triggered my concern, but the email todita-users@yahoogroups.com that I feel shouldn't have been sent
until we had everything properly listed on the TC's home page.
I'd like to suggest that, in the future, when we approve something
for publication, we hold off announcing it until we have it entered properly in
all the various places.

I thought I already said that I needed a
few days to get to this. It’s there now. I have to put it on the TC Members page
before it appears on the non-members page. One mirrors the other. You don’t
post it at all on the non-members page.
The TC Members page can only be edited by Gershon, Rodolfo, and myself.
I actually have full-time responsibility at the company, I have grandchildren
visiting this weekend, and I’m leaving for Shanghai on Monday. Sometimes I get
busy.
