EM-TC EDXL-DE CD Process - Formal Objection

[Renato Iannella <renato@nicta.com.au>]

Elysa, I did not wish to get to this point, but I don't seem to have  
much choice now given the
speed at which this is moving.

I would like to formally register my objection to the current CD  
process.

Firstly, my requests for clarifications on the process, in particular  
why the "Data Model" [1] (dated 2 May 2005)
version of the draft was used instead of the latter "Information  
Model" draft [2][3] (dated 20 June 2005) have
all gone unanswered [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] [9].

Second, the minutes of the meeting held on 14 July 2005 [10] in which  
it said:

   "A task force of three (Michelle, Sylvia and Lee) are going to  
take the
   work of the DE to date and compile it into the OASIS format template"

Obviously DID NOT include all of the "work of the DE to date" and has  
missed significant discussion and
outcomes since the 2 May 2005 draft.

Third, the minutes [10] also clearly state:

   "A quorum was not in attendance"

Hence, according to the OASIS TC Process [11]:

   "Without a quorum present discussions may take place but no  
business may be conducted"


Again, I regret that we have reached this situation, and request that  
these outstanding and
serious issues be addressed prior to any new work on the current CD  
process continues.


Cheers...  Renato Iannella
