RE: [office] Notes from SC34/WG6 meeting; Next steps for ISO ODF 1.2

[Oliver-Rainer Wittmann <ORWITT@de.ibm.com>]

Hi,

thanks to Chris and Rob to take already
actions on this topic.

I will put a discussion on the received
PAS submission comments on our proposed agenda for our next TC call on
Monday.
Thus, I am asking all TC members to
have a look at these comments.


Mit freundlichen Grüßen / Best regards
Oliver-Rainer Wittmann

I’ve added these to JIRA
– the titles are my summary of each comment, but the complete comment
text and any proposed resolution is included in the body of the bug.
 
I left the resolution date
blank for the moment, and logged them as applying to “ODF 1.2”.

We had a teleconference meeting of WG6 last
night (this morning in Japan where SC34 was meeting).  Chris Rae and
I attended for the ODF TC.   We briefly discussed the results of the
PAS ballot and the next steps. 

In summary: 

-- We (OASIS as the PAS submittor via the ODF TC) need to write up a response
to each of the comments received, saying what our recommendation is.  
 Actions might be to fix in an errata (if it fits within the kinds
of changes permitted in OASIS Approved Errata), push off until ODF 1.3
(where more substantive changes can be made), disagree with the comment
altogether, etc.   IMHO we should copy each of the comments into JIRA
and resolve them via our normal workflow.

- Once we have such a "disposition of comments report" we would
submit it to SC34, probably via Patrick.

- Then a Ballot Resolution Meeting (BRM) would occur.   This could
be a face-to-face meeting or, because the comment list is short, a teleconference.
  To me it sounded like a teleconference BRM would be the most convenient.
  If anyone has a preference for F2F, speak up now.  

- The output of the BRM would be a list of changes to ODF 1.2 that are
agreed on by us and SC34.    These changes could then be balloted
in parallel as Approved Errata in OASIS and Corrigenda in SC34.

- SC34 has meeting notification requirements.  Scheduling a BRM, including
one conducted via teleconference, requires 2 months notice.   So our
initial task is to estimate how long it will take for us to review the
ballot comments, agree on proposed editing instructions and submit this
to SC34.  Preparing these proposed editing instructions might require
some back-and-forth if the comments are not perfectly clear.  As soon
as we have this estimate we should let SC34 know so they can schedule the
BRM.   

Regards, 

-Rob
