Mary,
I was confused because you changed what Kris
wrote but still presented it as a quotation.
As to format of quoted email, it can be hard
to predict what mailers and email reading software do.

Hi Bruce,
answers inline.
Regards,
P.S. I'm also puzzled as to why I'm
seeing the email message properly formatted below with change bars/indentation
but not in Kris' message she sent earlier. I'm trying to find the culprit.

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?
Those are both the same; in the body of the text Kris used a different
url.
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.
No, in the prior version of the TC Process it was up to the TC
to determine whether or not changes were substantive and required an
additional review. That has been removed. Any changes to a document require a
new review to take place.

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
