Agenda bashing and Roll Attending: Voting Members (X = Attended) David Burke Mike Kaiser (Secretary/Vice-Chair) Mark Little Jeff Mischkinsky (Chair) Apologies: Sanjay Patil OASIS Staff: Robin Cover Jane Harnad Scott McGrath Mary McRae Dee Schur Identified Observers: Notes: Mike Kaiser Agenda Items added: None. 1. Minutes Approval - 05 May 2008: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/download.php/28244/Open_CSA_SC_20080509a_Draft.txt 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? DISCUSSION: (Jeff provided the following update per email.) There is general agreement/consensus within the Process committee in favor of the suggestion. I also brought it up during an OASIS Board of Directors meeting, as part of a Process Committee update/report to the Board. There was general (informal) agreement there too. In addition staff (Dee/Scott) are in favor. I think it is safe to say that the suggestion will be adopted. Actually making the change is not the highest priority right now for the Process Committee and there are other improvements/changes to the MS Policy that are under consideration, which will probably be batched up. 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.
