Request for TC approval: OASIS Open Repository proposal for Lightweight DITA subcommittee

[Don Day <donday@donrday.com>]

On Mark's behalf, I'm sending the DITA TC this request by Chet for approval as a motion by the TC. Can we please add this to the agenda for tomorrow? Michael or I can phrase the motion for the vote and minutes.

I copied the full note string since it contains also Chet's advice on actions for this item.

Mark, this looks great. Can you now do 2 next steps... 

First, get this approved by the DITA TC. It can be done as a motion in a meeting or as an electronic ballot. It looks like the next TC meeting is tomorrow? 

Then, after approval and publication of the minutes, please fill out the request form at https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/tc-admin-requests/open-repository-request 

We will take it from there. 

Robin, any other thoughts? 

Best,

Hi Chet,

Here is the Lightweight DITA subcommittee proposal for a GitHub OASIS Open Repository. We agreed on this in our last meeting two weeks ago. I think I covered what was needed.

Please let me know if you need anything else.
