RE: [office] ODF_1.0_Errata_4h - Adjustments

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

Mary's response is interesting.

It looks like we have two options.

1. Don't make that relative-path citation change for 17.5 at all, and handle it separately with a replacement for 1.0ed2-cs1, if ever.  We can also more-easily make those changes to ODF 1.1 as well, since it has the same language as 1.0ed2-cs1.

2. Make the change to 17.5 as an OASIS Standard ODF 1.0 change (see my item 4, below) and show the corresponding change to 1.0ed2-cs1 (in a separate erratum entry) as a courtesy to the IS 26300, SC34 folk as we have been doing. We also have the opportunity to roll into an erratum for ODF 1.1 and to have it be straight in ODF 1.2 from the beginning.

We just have to decide what the risk of substantive change is with option 2 (that is, answer the question in item 5, below).

The view from where I'm sitting:

ISO 26300 is *not* ODF 1.0. It is ODF 1.0 2nd Edition. ODF 1.0 2nd Edition is a Committee Specification; not an OASIS Standard. Changes to Committee Specifications are not processed via Errata; instead, changes are made to the spec, a new Committee Draft is issued, a 15-day public review follows if substantive changes are made, followed by a new ballot for Committee Specification status. 

Regards,

Mary
