Re: [quomos] Re: QUOMOS TC: please read - regarding TC status

[Tara Athan <taraathan@gmail.com>]

It would be unfortunate if this TC were closed without some discussion of the reasons it did not make progress.

The need that motivated the formation of this TC is certainly not over. There is still no standardization of the foundations for quantities and units of measure.  Perhaps if the scope were narrowed, there might be some buy-in from the national organizations.

Members of the QUOMOS TC, 

I have only heard from Jerry Smith who notes that as no one stepped forward to volunteer to chair the TC, it is perhaps time to close the Technical Committee. 

Accordingly, I will close the QUOMOS Technical Committee a week from today unless I hear back from any of you that you think the TC is still viable. That will be Tuesday, July 29. 

Best,

I am writing because I just became aware that the TC does not have a Chair and appears not to have had a Chair - nor any other activity - for quite some time. 

Under the rules of the OASIS TC Process (section 2.15 Closing a TC - https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#closingTC) I am required to close a TC that has not had a chair in place for 120 days. 

Is this a sign that the need for the TC is over and it is time for the TC to close? Nothing wrong with that at all. If, on the other hand, you feel that there is still work to do be done, then the TC needs to meet and elect a Chair as soon as possible. 

Please let me know your thoughts on whether or not it is time to close the TC. 

Thanks -
