Not every is able to spend the same amount of time on this. I cant help thinking though, that: -The specs have been out for a month since draft 01 was published. We received many good comments and have addressed them. At this point the comments are drying out. -We have momentum now and the TC is energetically engaged. All we needs is a joint push to deliver this baby. Of course whatever next steps we take will be decided as a team in tomorrow's con call. As always, thanks for your candid feedback. > -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.
