Re: [sdd] [glossary] Initial vs. Default Configuration

[Brent Miller <bamiller@us.ibm.com>]

Keeping in mind that I'm new here :-)
 , here's my read on the process question, based on the OASIS TC process
document:

- Yes, we can conduct business electronically,
including voting electroncially by OASIS ballot or by the use of this e-mail
list.
- However, the minimum ballot period
for electronic voting is 7 days.

We'll be having a conference call before
then, so I suggest that we put this on the agenda for next week's call;
James, please feel free to make your motion then.

And everyone, please feel free to continue
to discuss via e-mail.

Regards,
Brent

Ok, then I make a motion (can I do that via email?)
to include all
three definitions in the glossary.  If required, I can do this at
the next concall.
