Subject: Re: [regrep] Update on Spec approval process
Farrukh, I feel that you are rushing this too much. You need to give some of us a breather to go back and make comments and make thoughtful suggestions. I have not attended any of these review telecons because I felt that the process was being pushed way too hard. You need to give reasonable time for those of us who are not full time on this standard. I understand that you are anxious to move to the next release, however, I am much more interested in seeing a slow and stable release cycle with extremely well reviewed products at each release. -Matt Farrukh Najmi wrote: > Dear TC members, > > I have been educating myself on the OASIS Standards Approval Process [1]. > > I learned a few relevant an interesting points undre the current rules: > > 1.
