Subject: RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] Fwd: [legalxml-sc] Decision from the OASIS Board of Directors
|
The
fact that this was happening without the member section steering committee or the
ECF TC not being aware is very disturbing. There is obviously a serious
lack of communication somewhere in the process. From: O'Brien, Robert
[mailto:Robert.OBrien@cas-satj.gc.ca] In
case anyone isn’t aware, for all intents and purposes, the LegalXML
Member Section and the Court Filing TC are now one and the same, as apparently
there are no longer any other active TCs in the LegalXML Member Section. So
it would appear that we must convince the OASIS Board that we are a going
concern. A going
concern
can be said to be an organization that is currently operating, and which shows
that it intends to keep on operating. In other words, a going
concern means the entity is not being run as if it were going to close soon. As
George said, the LegalXML SC has been meeting via conference call at least
monthly this year – certainly since I was elected to it back in January
and George became chair shortly thereafter. We are financially supporting
a conference at Stanford U and sending our own Jim Cabral as a presenter /
panelist. We are providing considerable technical assistance in Arizona so that
we can gain feedback for future iterations of the ECF
4.0 recommended specification, and have been seeking any other interested
implementations. George himself is attending e-Courts West as an
outreach effort … George
and I have enquired a couple of times of our OASIS colleagues sitting in on our
conf calls about whether a Member Section could continue with just one TC.
Unless I am mistaken, I believe that their advice to us was yes, yes it could.
Even so, George has made a point of stating during the calls that we would
actively welcome any new TCs into LegalXML. So
this has really come out of left field … George, it would seem that we have enough ammunition to meet any
challenge that we are not a so-called “going concern” …. From: George W. Knecht
[mailto:george@pcintellect.com] ECF TC Members ... see below message from the Oasis Exec.
Director to the Legal XML SC. Since ECT is currently the only TC under LegalXML
it seems to me you should all be aware. I have no idea why they have made this decision. The
LegalXML SC has been active, and acting in good faith over the past several
months. Furthermore, I'm not sure how to respond as I don't have the time or
energy to attempt to make a case to the OASIS Board that they need to lift this
decision. Would love to hear any suggestions you all might have. ---------- Forwarded message ----------
