[legalxml-transcripts] Meeting of the OASIS LegalXML Transcript TC -5:00 pm USA EST of Tuesday 15th October

[Eddie O'Brien <eddie@ringtailsolutions.com>]

Dear Transcript TC participants,

 

Firstly, welcome to the Transcripts TC of Oasis LegalXML!

 

As members of the Transcript TC I will assume that everyone on this list sees the benefit of a unified Transcript standard. Please join with me in encouraging any associations, companies or individuals to join the list and help us develop a useful standard. Details for joining can be found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/join/

 

I'm pleased to announce that Chad Theriot and Betty Harvey will be joining the Transcripts TC leadership team. Chad and Betty have excellent experience which is demonstrated in the attached personal BIOS.

 

The OASIS LegalXML Transcript TC web pages can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalxml-transcripts/

 

As a general rule most activity will take place on the list but a "virtual" face-to-face will be a valuable way to start the group. So we are planning a telephone conference meeting at 5:00 pm USA EST of Tuesday 15th October to "kick start" the groups activity.

 

Setting a time has been very difficult and many people will not be able to attend the call direct so I encourage you all to contribute to the agenda via the list or directly. My apologies if the date and time are inconvenient for you but please don't worry if you can't make the meeting your contributions to the development of a transcript standard can be managed via the list discussions. Minutes

 

There are a number of items that should be discussed at the meeting but in order to have a manageable meeting I propose we start by discussing, with the view to agreeing,  the scope of the Transcripts TC as follows:

 

Draft Agenda:

• The Transcripts TC Charter http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalxml-transcripts/charter.shtml review:
  • Introduction,
  • Purpose,
  • Requirements,
  • Constraints,
  • Deliverables,
  • Milestones,
  • Meeting Dates.
• General structure and responsibilities should also be reviewed.

Please feel free to suggest other agenda items but be aware of the time issues. I propose we set a one hour meeting for this first date.

 

There are a few reference document on the TC site including the archived Draft Standard DTD http://www.legalxml.org/archives/Transcripts/WD_10002.htm

 

Details of the telephone bridge / conference facilities will follow shortly.

 

I look forward to your "virtual" attendance.

 

Cordially,

 

Eddie O’Brien
