More on deadline for econtracts spec

[John Messing <jmessing@law-on-line.com>]

I hope this is not overload for all recipients, but it seems to pinpoint
a date for a substantially complete spec from WIU, retrieved from email
archive, mentioning delivery as of November 21, 2006. Any further
information would be greatly appreciated.

review


> Dear TC Members,
> 
> Dr Leff and Mr Sasagawa have submitted a substantially complete draft of the
> TC's specification. There are still some changes to be made before the TC
> votes on it but it is believed to be close enough that we can plan to

> Dr Leff is making further changes to the dictionary by inserting the Relax

> During a phone conference today it was decided that:
> 
> 1. Members should provide final suggestions for changes to Dr Leff by the
> end of December 1, 2006.
> 
> 2. Dr Leff and Mr Sasagawa will revise the specification and submit a final
> draft in the following week.
> 
> 3. There will be a TC phone conference on December 7 at which the TC may
> adopt the draft specification and submit it to OASIS for the review process,
> with or without minor corrections.
> 
> I (Peter Meyer) intend to make a range of suggestions for change to the
> draft specification, including:
> 
> * expand the Introduction and scope section to further clarify our
> objectives for the schema.
> * adjust various explanations for completeness and clarity.
> * changes to examples to make them easier to follow and simpler
> * minor re-ordering of some of the topics in the specification.
> 
> I will circulate these suggested changes to the TC.
> 
> You are invited to review the current drafts and submit final requests for
> changes by 1 December.
> 
> Dr Leff will circulate a formal agenda and meeting details for December 7.
