[dita] Withdrawal of Stage 2: 13040 - Intersection of conditional proces

Greetings,

I would like to make the withdrawal of the Stage 2 proposal of 13040 for DITA 1.3 official. This was always planned as a clarification of the DITA Specification vs. any “new” work as other proposals have been.

Stage 2 proposals: https://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/DITA_1.3_Proposals-stage2

I would like to defer this work vs. dropping it as there is still value in this clarification.

Thanks.

- Dave H.

Subject: [dita] Queuing up stage 2 proposals for TC discussion and approval

Folks, we have only four TC meetings before the September 1 deadline for approval. Before September 1, a stage-2 template must be completed, the proposal presented to the TC, any concerns addressed, the proposal updated (if necessary) and the proposal voted through to stage 3.

Please also remember that the process requires (at a minimum) that a proposal be presented one week and voted on the next or later. This means that the very last day for the proposal to be discussed is 20 August.

Here is the current schedule for stage 2 discussion:

Date	Discussion	Voting
6 August	13097: New troubleshooting topic (TechComm SC) -- Continuing discussion 13060: Metadata to manage context-sensitive help windows (Help SC) 13061: Help context IDs (Help SC)
13 August	13112: RelaxNG for DITA vocabulary (Kimber) 13106: New base domain and specializations for question/answer interactions (L & T SC)
20 August
27 August

Here are the stage-2 proposals that are NOT currently queued up for discussion:

13011: Quantities and tolerances (Machine Industry SC)
13040: Intersection of conditional processing and metadata elements (Helfinstine) -- Likely to be withdrawn and handled as a doc fix, if necessary
13102: Revision history/release management markup (TechComm SC)

For champions of proposals 13011 and 13102, unless you plan to withdraw your proposal for DITA 1.3, I'd suggest that you get the proposal on the TC agenda as quickly as possible. If my memory is correct, both proposals have been discussed only once at the TC level and folks had serious questions and concerns.

Best,
Kris
