Subject: Proposed Amendment to the Exit criteria motion



Folks,

Here is an amendment to to motion relating to the Exit criteria

Add the following to the end of the motion - not intended as part of the proposed Exit Criteria, but
as an explanation of the effects on specifications being subject to the proposed Exit Criteria:


"The result of these exit criteria is that it is very hard to sustain optional normative features in any of
the OASIS SCA specifications and that all the OASIS SCA specifications must be examined with
the presumption that any optional normative statement will be modified either to make the statement
mandatory or to reduce the statement from being normative to being informative"


Without a clear understanding along these lines, I think that the proposed Exit Criteria will almost
ensure that any specification with optional items will never pass the Exit Criteria.  The actual changes
to each specification will of course be subject to usual TC issue process.

Yours, Mike
