Re: [board-agenda] Fwd: Possible agenda item regarding current JTC1 & ITU submission plans

[James Bryce Clark <jamie.clark@oasis-open.org>]

Thanks, Eduardo.  The appeal period for members is specified, and is
even longer -- 30 days (see Section 6 of
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/liaison_policy.php#submitwork).

Still, I take your comment as: "members should always have at least
two weeks to throw up a red flag, after the final plan is posted,
before the thing actually goes out."

When we were writing that policy (the special Board committee chaired
by Claus last year),  we were trying to balance between lots of
oversight & appeals, on the one hand, and  reasonable speed on the
other.  One thing that we've learned from other submissions:  we need
the rules not to make us so pokey that we're incapable of responding
effectively to feedback from orgs receiving a submission.

As I said, in this case, maybe it's moot anyway.   This specific
acceleration suggestion  only would be worth considering if we needed
faster action in order to correctly present material to SC38, at their
meeting the 2nd week of May.  That might not be the case. .

Cordially Jamie.
