0. Agenda bashing and Roll

        

1. Minutes Approval

2. Open Action Item Review and Discussion


   
        #0028
Draft Q4 Member Section Report for SC Review - Jeff Mischinsky - Due: 2008-01-11
         
      http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/members/action_item.php?action_item_id=2072
         
         
        OpenCSA
Steering Committee was holding on this until Process Committee completes
its discussion
        thread
regarding suggestion that Quarterly Reports should not be necessary for
Member Sections which
        have
no OASIS funding.
        
        Any
updates regarding this?
        


3. Continued discussion on what information/status
the Steering Committee like to see from TC's?
        It
might be helpful to have some input from TC's such as the following from
each of the
        TC's.
         
      a. Issues that the Steering Committee might
be with.
         
      b. General status on progress towards spec
completion.

        The
Steering Committee does NOT want to micromanage the TC's. But the Steering
Committee
         
      does care if the next version of the spec
is scheduled for June or December.
         
      
        Should
change the LSC charter to add the periodic reporting of TC status to the
Steering 
         
      Committee.  We'll leave it up to the
LSC on how to report.  Sanjay was to draft 
         
      some words to do this.  Once reviewed
a web ballot was to initiated.

        The
Steering Committee needs to review the status of this action item from
the 05/09/2008
        meeting
and take appropriate action.

         
      
4. The Steering Committee needs to address
the question of how it pushes work forward w/o 
        micromanaging
.
        It's
very easy on TC's to loose inertia.  Even if you have a couple companies
pushing 
        it's
sometimes hard to keep the TC's moving. 

        The
Steering Committee may need to outline a high level scheduling expectations.
 
        That
might help the TC's decide how much time to focus on any particular problem.
        
        Discussion
around this topic requested.



5. Election Activity

        
        David
Burke, Mike Kaiser, and Mark Little were elected to the Steering Committee
position
        in
the most recent elections.  They will be serving a term until June
2010.

        
        Nominations
for the two remaining Steering Committee seats remains open until June
17th.
        Steering
Committee members should be encouraging nominations.
        

        REMINDER:
        There
is also the Steering Committee elected positions that we need to close
on a plan for.
        The
time is quickly approaching where new the OpenCSA will need to hold elections
for the
        following
Steering Committee positions before the end of July:

        1.
       Chair:        
       Re-election due by:      
  July 31, 2008
        2.
       Vice-Chair:        Re-election
due by:        July 31, 2008
        3.
       Secretary:        Re-election
due by:        July 31, 2008


        Current
status is that we were going to keep positions in place through end of
July.  Mike  
        to
fill Graham's vacated positions until positions updated by ballot results
in August.
        
        Any
further discussion needed?
