[ebxml-cppa] TC approval of specification version 1.9 for initialpublic review

[Dale Moberg <dmoberg@cyclonecommerce.com>]

The result of balloting has 
been unanimous approval for all
returned vallots to begin the 
initial public review of the
TC's ebXML CPPA core specification, 
version 1.9. Nineteen ballots were
sent to voting members. Eighteen
were returned ballots "FOR" advancing to an
initial public review.

Here is the proposed language for the statement to
be used in this announcement and publicity (Tony,
can you advise us what URL should be used to access
version 1.9?)

"The OASIS ebXML CPPA Technical Committee has unanimously
approved an initial public review period for their version 1.9
core specification."

"For this initial public review period-- which will last until
May 18, 2002--all received comments will be considered by
the Technical Committee; the committee will then include 
any changes motivated by the public comments that are received
in a final 2.0 version."

"The Technical Committee will vote at the end of May whether
to make version 2.0 an approved specification of the Technical
Committee, and will also vote at that time, whether to submit
the 2.0 specification for OASIS membership review."

"In short, the technical committee is seeking the 
standards community's comments prior to OASIS membership
review so that any issues can be addressed in the
version submitted to the membership. The committee considers
the specification, and the accompanying schemas, to be 
essentially stable, and suitable for early implementation.
Comments from both analysts and implementers are being solicited."

"The specification is available at:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ebxml-cppa/
and comments should be sent to:
ebxml-cppa-comments@lists.oasis-open.org."
