Chet,
At the monthly meeting next Tuesday, I need to give the ECF TC a status update on the process of posting the ECF 4.0 Web Services and Portable Media SIP specifications for a 30 day public review. Will we have anything to report by then?
Thanks,
Jim Cabral

Robin,
Thanks for the ACK. I just wanted to make sure these were not lost in the handover to Chet.

Ah, Jim... thanks for the additional CC on the ping. You know from the OASIS LegalXML TCs, as I recall.
I realize that I failed to ACK receipt of the two messages sent to Paul and me on the 18th. We'll put them into the pipeline and get back to you.
Of course, if Chet's email inbox is feeling lonely and empty these days, you can send him a copy, or two, to help clear up that problem. ;-)
Best,
Robin

Chet,
I forwarded two revised LegalXML ECF specifications to Robin Cover and
Paul Knight Monday that I assume you received. Please let me know if
need me to send those to you directly.

Subject: [chairs] An introduction to your new Director of Standards
Development and TC Administration
Greetings chairs,
As a follow-on to Scott's announcement of my joining OASIS as the new
Director of Standards Development and TC Administration, I thought you
might appreciate a bit of background on who I am and what I bring to OASIS.
I have long been involved with XML and OASIS. My employer was one of
the founding organizations of SGML Open in 1993 and we built the
consortium's first website (fondly known as "SGML Open House" for any
of you who remember it). I also served on the TAB in its early years
and co-chaired the LegalXML Legislative Documents TC. I feel well
versed in both OASIS process and culture.
I first got involved with SGML back in 1991 when my staff and I built
a markup-driven, multi-output technical documentation publishing
system for a database software company, Information Builders, Inc. I
later worked at Matthew Bender, a boutique legal publisher, and at
LexisNexis where I managed the development and implementation of
content architecture standards and governance for their legal, news
and business information products. My most recent position before
joining OASIS was at Bloomberg LP, where I used XML data and metadata
to package legal information in new and useful ways for customers.
Throughout all these roles, I have concentrated on helping my
management, peers and colleagues understand how the use of data
standards adds efficiency, reliability and economy to the process of
developing complex, inter-related information systems. I have also
sought to manage the push and pull between long-term strategy and
short-term practicality in productive ways that let us all get work
done while making continual improvements in our systems. I hope those
experiences will prove helpful in my new roles here at OASIS.
The new Standards Development team at OASIS consists of me, Paul
Knight, and
(partially) Robin Cover. Let me say from the start that I am indebted
to Robin for his extraordinary service as transitional TC Admin. I
intend to take full advantage of his knowledge of the open standards
landscape in general and the OASIS TC Process in particular as I come
up to speed in my new role. I am also grateful to have a seasoned
OASIS veteran like Paul onboard. As a team, we are committed to
providing you with the assistance, instruction, and advice you need to
ensure your goals are met and your TC work is productive.
I will be reaching out to as many of you as possible in the weeks
ahead to learn more about your work, your plans, and what I can do to
help. In the meantime, if you have any immediate needs, questions, or
comments for me, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am open to
your input and excited to be working with you all.
Best regards,
/chet
