A couple of
questions.
1. I don't see any
difference between the TCAdminRequests.html URL that Kris gave and the one that
Mary gave. What am I misunderstanding?
2. Is a Public Review required for copy editing that
does not effect the information content? Or should the statement
be that any substantive changes must be submitted for Public
Review? I'm referring to the statement:
any changes made to a Committee Note Draft must be
submitted for Public Review, whether or not as the result of the public
review.

Hi Kristen et al,
A few corrections noted inline. Also, more details can be found in the TC
Handbook pages here:
I provided JoAnn and Gershon with PDFs of the updated
white paper templates along with the specific changes in mid-October; if there
are any questions with regard to the templates or anything else related to the
process, please feel free to contact me. I'm happy to help.
Best regards,
Mary

Here is a summary of how the new OASIS processes will
affect our feature articles
Please do not use that address; it is subject to change. Please
use the form links directly as displayed here:
o We approve the work product as a
“Committee note draft.” This requires a full majority vote of the
TC. At the time of approval, the
Chair or designate must notify TC Administration by submitting
the Committee Note Draft Creation / Upload Request. Since it is
anticipated that the DITA Adoption TC will be using DITA as its editable
source, the TC will also be responsible for providing HTML and PDF formats.
Note that the work product will be QC'd at the time of submission and must
conform to the appropriate template.
o We decide to submit a committee note
draft for public review; this also requires a full majority vote of the TC.
If approved by the TC, this draft becomes a “Committee Note Public Review
Draft”; it must be accompanied by a
“recommendation from the TC of external stakeholders who should be notified
of the review.”
§ Link to the minutes for the Adoption
TC meeting at which the TC approved the committee note draft and voted to
request a review
o Mary McRae announces the public
review to the OASIS membership list and “optionally on other public mail
lists.”
o Non-TC Members post comments to the
TC's public-comment list. [Do we have such as list?]
Yes. All TCs have a comment list
(dita-adoption-comment)
We must acknowledge the receipt of
each comment and track the comments received; at the end of the review
period, we need to post a list of how each comment has been handled to our
e-mail list.
o If we make ANY changes to the
committee note draft any changes
made to a Committee Note Draft must be submitted for Public Review, whether or
not as the result of the public review.
as a result of the public review, we
need to start the whole process over. The review period this time is only 15
days.
o After a public review that does not
generates any comments that result in the changes to the committee note
draft, we can approve the work product as a committee note. This requires
a special majority
vote of the TC. If the
15-day review generated any comments, this vote cannot be held before seven
days have passed since the close of the public review. To conduct the
special majority vote, we need to notify Mary McRae that the TC is ready to
vote and provide her with the location of the editable versions of the
files. She sets up and conducts the
ballot.
Yes;
see above.

Best regards,
Kris
