Hints for editors and on communicating links to the public or other interested third parties

[Stefan Drees <stefan@drees.name>]

Dear all,

as we sometimes want to share documents and such with other persons (not 
currently being enrolled with OASIS) e.g. experts/implementers that 
might be interested in participating but still are in need of arguments 
for joining, I would like to remind us of an IMO useful resource brought 
to my attention by an email from Chet Ensign to the OData members 
mailing list:

URL=http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/ndr/namingDirectives.html

The OASIS officers (I think esp. Robin Cover) seem to have invested some 
time into authoring "The OASIS Naming Directives document", a document 
that suggests some rules governing filenames and URIs for Technical 
Committee Work Products. It is (observing the change entries at the 
bottom) updated approx. on a yearly basis (but of course event driven).

In there (at about 3/4 of the total length) are infos collected w.r.t. 
the relevant translations from restricted vs. public access links to 
publicly accessible entities in different areas like:
* Documents,
* Email messages,
* TC ballot listings,
* TC individual ballots and
* TC calendar entries.

The relevant Section is "Using Appropriate URI References" see esp. 
subsection "Publicly Accessible URIs".

All the best,
Stefan.
