Greetings, DITA TC colleagues. This is a reminder for Tuesday's regular

4. Review the TC Specification process:
- http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standards_approval
- Committee Draft (open period--over when we are ready)
 * signals close of a development cycle
 * 2/3s of TC voting, no more than 1/4 disapproval
 * Inform OASIS Administration
 * can be several review/ballot cycles (conformance to OASIS templates,
   integration of parts)
- Public Review (1 month total time to exit)
 * initiate by majority vote of the TC
 * announce to members list, other public lists; 30 days (can start at any time)
 * review again if substantive changes; re-approve as CD before submission to OASIS
- Member Approval (1 month total time to exit)
 * prepare checklist, transmittal materials
 * in by 15th of the month; decision to proceed by end of month
 * in Member review for 15 days; in vote for next 15 days
 * Becomes immediate Standard if at least 15% pro votes, no nay votes (other qualifications)

- "Committee Standard" was part of old OASIS process--signal of readiness for use

5. Assessment: readiness for Committee Draft

- Language Reference

6. If in consent to do so, do the first CD vote.
