RE: [office] Re: [office-formula] Public Comment Lists

Hi Eike,

  OASIS has a lot of lists :-) Comment lists are specifically designed to accept input from non-members to a Technical Committee.
They take the form tcmailinglistname-comment@lists.oasis-open.org. The only way to post to them is to go through the website,
acknowledge that you have the authority to make the contribution and understand our IPR policy, and then fill out a form with your
comment. http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/comments/form.php?wg_abbrev=office

That's very different than the public discussion lists on how to implement/use an approved OASIS standard. Those lists tend to take
the form tcmailinglistname-users or tecmailinglistname-dev. 

  Any comments to the formula subcommittee by non-members must be made to the office-comment list which is archived here:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office-comment/

 I hope that helps - sometimes it's hard for staff to keep straight!

Regards,

Mary
