Procedural
Discussion
We are
slowly building a set of operation procedures that should be documented (in the
suggested
documents repository at
<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/documents.php>.
ACTION: AI-1: Graham Barber: Provide first
draft of Steering Committee Operating Procedures.
Scott
summarized the differing web-based "spaces" at our disposal:
i) The OASIS
public face of the Member Section is represented at:
<http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/>
ii) The
working documents of the Member Section are held at:
<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/index.php>
iii) The
working documents of the Steering Committee are held at
<http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-sc/index.php>
We noted
that we were not using these spaces consistently.
The
challenge of ensuring that the goal of Steering Committee Business being open
and available
to all
members was discussed. The conflicting goal of not filling Members' In-Boxes
with unnecessary
e-mail
(auto-informs of AIs, Calendar Entries, Document uploads) was discussed.
ACTION: AI-2: Scott McGrath to explore
options and propose a methodology for S/C Business.
6. Future

We agreed to
retain the weekly 9am PT teleconference slot for the near future. We will
