Subject: Re: [dita] 60-day Review Request for Darwin Information Typing Architecture(DITA) Version 1.2


The committee voted to approve what we called CD 01, take 2. It consisted of what we had previously submitted -- formatting adjusted to meet OASIS style regulations-- plus the following new topics:
  • Normative references
  • Non-normative references
  • Formatting conventions in the XHTML versions of the specification
Do you want us to revise the minutes so that they clearly capture our intention to approve "CD O1, take 2"? We can call that CD 02 if you like; I do not think that revising the cover pages to be marked as CD 02 requires a TC vote; please advise me if I am wrong.

The TC's understanding was that the first draft released for public review was by definition CD 01; is this incorrect?

We -- and the rest of the larger DITA community -- are truly eager to get DITA 1.2 out of public review as quickly as we can. Please help us do so.

Best,

Kris

The TC must approve the newly revised CD01 R1 as CD02. The files must also be appropriately identified, including the hypertext links that appear in the front matter.

I don't know intention vs reality; if the motion was to approve the XHTML version then that isn't sufficient. If the motion was to approve CD02 then that wasn't properly captured.

Mary, the TC's intention was to vote to approve the revised CD 01. What do the minutes need to say in order to convey the intention properly and have the 60-day request approved? Or does the contents of the submission ZIP simply need to be marked as CD 02?

Best,

Kris

The request is therefore rejected.

Respectfully,

Mary
