So the "Blue Drafting" committee will consist of parties that are developing based on the products of the Requirements committee?  That makes sense, but doesn't seem to fall under the definition of "Blue Drafting" that comes to mind for me.  

You mention that the group will "begin to produce the 'Blue' specification".  What format do you imagine the Specification to take?  It seems to me that the Requirements subcommittee will be making documentation and schemas.  To me, documentation and Schemas form a specification.  That's why I am confused.  As I understand it the requirements committee is making the specifications.  Also, all of the deliverables outlined in the "Blue Drafting" committee are 'reviews'.  There are no defined documents to be delivered.  So again, I'm confused as to what the committee is supposed to do.  

The first part of you response, which led me to believe that the Blue Drafting committee would be developing, using and providing feedback on what the Requirements committee produces makes sense.  However if that is the whole intent, I would suggest renaming it to the "Blue Review" committee...

John and Others,

 

        I would imagine you are correct that the holidays played a major roll in the lack of voting. Having said that however, after reviewing the attached documents for the subcommittees I was left a little confused.

 

        My understanding is that the Requirements Subcommittee is responsible for developing use cases, a glossary, service descriptions of messaging components, definitions of messaging profiles, and GJXDM compliant schemas. While the Court Filing Blue Drafting subcommittee will simply review what the other subcommittee produces. Is this a correct understanding of the situation? If so why is there a need for the CFBlue subcommittee. Shouldn't the entire TC be reviewing what the requirements subcommittee produces?

 

Thanks,

 

Jim

The subcommittee charters failed to win approval in the voting that took place over the Christmas holidays.  Only 12 of our voting members voted, all in support of the subcommittee charters.

 

 

 

Tom Clarke and I have decided to disregard this result, attributing non response to the fact that the balloting took place during the holidays.  Therefore, voting members will not lose their voting status because they failed to vote on the charters.

 

 

 

I have reposted ballots on these charters.  The proposed charters are attached.

 

 

 

Any voting member who does not vote on these charters will lose his or her voting member status.

 

 

 

I remind you that the TC decided during the Las Vegas face to face meeting to pursue an aggressive timetable for completion of Court Filing Blue.  That timetable includes approval of these charters. 

 

 

 

Thank you for your participation.
