All --
Below is a motion to open an electronic ballot.
After that motion is seconded, I will create the ballot.
The Chairs have determined that to carry out the plan of the TC to
NOT
include copies of the EMIX schemas that we need to start an electronic
ballot. The TC Administrator has informed us that he cannot apply TC
Process Rule 2.19 in this case. The discussion section goes into
details. In essence, we have asked the technical editor to create and
validate schemas where the only change is to reference the
now-published EMIX CSD03 on the web, and update the specification to
wd26 - the only changes are the WD number, the date, and the page
footers. Links below are to the diffmarked document for your
information.
An electronic ballot is open for at least 7 days, and you may change
your vote until the close of the ballot.
Motion:
William Cox moves that the TC will start an electronic ballot with the
Ballot Question listed below for a seven day period. This ballot will
start today, July 8, and be open for 7 days, to July 15.
Ballot Question:
Shall the Energy Interoperation Technical Committee do the following,
as replacements for work product in the publication queue as Committee
Specification Draft 02 and Public Review 02?
(1) Issue OASIS Energy Interoperation 1.0 Working Draft 26 and its
associated XML artifacts packaged together in the Energy Interoperation
TC archive at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/42849/energyinterop-1-0-wd26.zip
as Energy Interoperation Committee Specification Draft 02 and direct
the Chair to request that the TC Administrator process Working Draft 26
and its associated XML artifacts and further direct the chair to
perform any actions required by the TC Administrator, including but not
limited to updating namespace document requests and submission forms,
to accomplish that issuance as soon as practicable. The PDF version is
definitive.
(2) Issue OASIS Energy Interoperation 1.0 Committee Specification Draft
02 for a fifteen-day Public Review, and direct the Chair and TC
Administrator to perform the necessary actions for that Public Review
to start as soon as practicable.
Discussion:
This ballot, if approved, will permit the TC Administrator to publish
the Energy Interoperation 1.0 PR02/CSD02 with direct references in the
schemas to the now-published EMIX PR03 schemas on the web; the effect
of a NO vote is to keep a copy of the EMIX schemas in the publication
package as approved on July 6.
There will be no effect on the publication schedule; and the TC
Administrator fully understands that with the changes below he can
start work immediately on the document.
Changes have been strictly limited to the following; files have been
uploaded showing the precise changes. Those files are
The complete set of changes are:
Spec (see Word document with diffmarks linked above):
- Change WD number, date to current, page footers to
match, added note on changes to wd26 on last page.
Schemas (see diff -r output linked above):
- Changed references/schemaLocation attributes to
reference the EMIX schemas on docs.oasis-open.org
rather than including copies
- Deleted the EMIX subdirectory containing EMIX WD03
schema copies
- Deleted the readme.txt file that said that the EMIX
schemas were not yet published, describing the work around
Thanks!
