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

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

OASIS has no official policy in regards to public review. OASIS encourages its TCs to have a public review in order to get comments and improve the quality of the specs, but the TC Process says nothing about this, including required time periods.

Thanks Dale.  As to the May 18 date in the proposed announcement:  I noted that Marty votes for this short deadline in his message Saturday.  I have no intrinsic problem with 2 weeks if it's a defensible answer.   May I suggest that you confirm with OASIS whether there is a "usual" period.  I have no idea whether 2 weeks is short, long or typical, among those standards that do use public review -- I thought someone had talked about 30 days earlier, but have no data on OASIS rules, or ebXML practices post-2001. 
In light of the degree of press interest here, it would be helpful if we avoided the appearance of using a remarkably or unusually abbreviated period.   If there is such a thing in this context.   Regards  Jamie
