Subject: NotesOnCommitteeNoteApproval


Hi All,

You can read the complete Information about Committee Note Approval process at the following url:

https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process

Committee Notes are treated as another OASIS Work Product. These are all excerpts relating to Committee Notes.

·  "Committee Note" is a Non-Standards Track Work Product that has been approved by a Technical Committee as specified in Section 3.0.

·  "Committee Note Draft" is a Non-Standards Track Work Product approved by a Technical Committee as specified in Section 3.1.

·  "Committee Note Public Review Draft" is a Committee Note Draft that has been approved by the TC to go to public review as specified in Section 3.2 of this Process.

"Non-Standards Track Work Product" is a Work Product produced and approved by a TC in accordance with the TC Process which may be progressed to Committee Note as described in Section 3. Non-Standards Track Work Products are intended to be informative and explanatory in nature. They are not subject to the patent licensing and non-assertion obligations requirements of the OASIS IPR Policy.

"OASIS Deliverable" means any of the following: Committee Specification Drafts, Committee Specification Public Review Drafts, Committee Specifications, Candidate OASIS Standards, OASIS Standards, Approved Errata, Committee Note Drafts, Committee Note Public Review Drafts, and Committee Notes.

"OASIS Deliverable" means any of the following: Committee Specification Drafts, Committee Specification Public Review Drafts, Committee Specifications, Candidate OASIS Standards, OASIS Standards, Approved Errata, Committee Note Drafts, Committee Note Public Review Drafts, and Committee Notes.

"Work Product Ballot" is any TC ballot for the:

  • approval of a Committee Specification Draft or Committee Note Draft,
  • start of a Public Review,
  • approval of a Committee Specification, or a Committee Note,
  • submission of a Committee Specification as a Candidate OASIS Standard.

"Working Draft" is a preliminary version of a Work Product produced by one or more TC Members that has not yet been voted on by the TC and approved as a Committee Specification Draft or a Committee Note. Some examples are initial contributions and revisions made by editors or other TC Members.

Announcements: The OASIS TC Administrator shall create a publicly archived list for announcements from the OASIS TC Administrator regarding TCs. Any Eligible Person shall be able to subscribe to this list. Every important change in TC status shall be posted to the announcement list; such changes shall include but not be limited to the following: TC formation; TC Charter revision; start of Public Review; approval of Committee Specifications and Committee Notes; submission of a Committee Specification as a Candidate OASIS Standard; approval or rejection of a proposed OASIS Standard; and closure of a TC.

(6) Allowed changes. Any change made to a Work Product requires a new version or revision number, except for changes made to (a) the approval status, (b) the date, (c) the URIs of the Work Product as appropriate, (d) the running header/footer, (e) updates to the file names of all Work Product files and any references between them, (f) any approved Designated Cross-Reference Changes, or (g) when a Committee Specification is approved as an OASIS Standard, and prior to its publication, any references to a Committee Specification may be updated if the referenced Committee Specification has subsequently been approved and published as an OASIS Standard. All of 6(a-g) must be made after the approval of the Work Product as a Committee Specification Draft, Committee Note, Committee Specification, Candidate OASIS Standard, or OASIS Standard and before its official publication by TC Administration.

Non-Standards Track Work Products may directly be approved as Committee Notes by the Technical Committees via a Full Majority vote.

Public reviews are optional for Committee Notes. If a TC wishes to conduct public reviews before approving a Committee Note, the same procedures for approving a Committee Specification (as outlined in section 3.1, section 3.2 and section 3.3) and a similar terminology used for the intermediate drafts of the Committee Specifications (i.e. Committee Note Draft and Committee Note Public Review Draft) must be followed.

Note that a Committee Note is never progressed as an OASIS standard.

After approving a Committee Note, a Technical Committee may notify the TC Administrator for publishing the Committee Note to the OASIS Library and announcing its publication to the OASIS membership.

So, what this all means is that we are not required to hold a Special Majority Vote as I thought we were. A simple Full Majority Vote, without the need for electronic oversight, is allowable. So when we meet on 9 July 2013. We can vote it out of the SC and vote it on to Committee Note Publication the following Tuesday at the EM Adoption TC, though I would prefer getting a nod from the EM TC.
