SARIF: next meeting, next steps

[David Keaton <dmk@dmk.com>]

     As you have seen announced earlier this week, our public comment 
period is now underway.  Because we switched the SARIF version number 
from 2.0 to 2.1.0, OASIS procedure required that we have a 30-day public 
comment period covering the whole document, rather than the 15-day 
public comment period focused on the diffs from the previous one.

     The public comment period essentially ends at 5pm Pacific time on 
July 5.  There is a 7-day waiting period afterward, during which 
document changes cannot be discussed, so that extends to July 12.

     At our previous SARIF teleconference, we decided to have our next 
teleconference after the end of the 7-day waiting period.  Consequently, 
I'm calling a SARIF teleconference the following Wednesday at our usual 
time: Wednesday, July 17, 09:30-11:30 PDT (16:30-18:30 UTC).  The 
purpose will be to discuss any comments received during the public 
comment period, to discuss any recommendations of the editors for 
disposition of those comments, and to vote to ask OASIS to conduct a 
Special Majority Vote to promote the document to the next step, 
Committee Specification.

     There are many potential sources of uncertainty in the course of 
the process toward the final goal, OASIS Standard.  However, if all goes 
well, the July 17 teleconference will be the last one we need for SARIF 
v2.1.0.  If things go as expected, the rest of the process after that 
can be conducted by e-mail and e-ballots.
