Re: [sdd] UPDATE: SDD Ballots

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

SDD TC Voting Members,

Apparently the automatically generated
emails from OASIS about these ballots being opened did not go out (at least
I did not receive them).

THEREFORE, PLEASE GO TO THE TC BALLOTS
PAGE: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sdd/ballots.php
 AND CAST YOUR VOTE FOR EACH OF THE 4 OPEN BALLOTS.

Sorry about this, and thank you!

Regards,
Brent

SDD TC, 

After some delays caused by various things, we are now ready to move forward
with our SDD v2.0 deliverables. I wanted to send this email to, I hope,
ensure that the TC's next actions are clear. 

Shortly, you will be receiving email notices that 4 ballots have been opened.
These ballots are: 
1.        A
ballot to approve the current specification, schema and namespace documents
as a Committee Specification Draft (CSD). You might recall that awhile
back, we approved these same documents as CSD 01 and successfully completed
a public review of these materials. However, Merri noticed that some of
the URIs in those documents were incorrect, and the OASIS process specifies
that we must approve the updated version as CSD02 and re-submit it for
public review. These documents have not had any substantive changes; the
changes were just corrections. 
2.        A
ballot to approve the current SDD Primer as a non-standards-track Committee
Note Draft (CND). The Primer has not substantively changed since it was
last reviewed; this will be the first TC vote to move it forward in the
process as CND01. 
3.        A
ballot to approve the current SDD Starter Profile as a non-standards-track
Committee Note Draft (CND). The Starter Profile has not substantively changed
since it was last reviewed; this will be the first TC vote to move it forward
in the process as CND01. 
4.        A
ballot to approve the current SDD Examples as a non-standards-track Committee
Note Draft (CND). The Examples have not substantively changed since it
was last reviewed; this will be the first TC vote to move it forward in
the process as CND01.

Please note that these are separate ballots for each of the individual
deliverables. In each case, the precise document(s) that is (are) the subject
of the ballot is (are) cited as a reference in the ballot. Each ballot
will remain open for one week. Each ballot requires a Full Majority to
pass (that is, more than 50% of all voting members must vote "Yes"
for the ballot to pass). 

Assuming that these ballots are approved, please be aware that a second
set of similar ballots will be opened to vote on submitting the approved
CSD and CNDs for public review (this is a separate step in the process).

It is very important that all voting members vote, so please cast your
vote (sooner rather than later is preferred). 

Thanks to Merri for her diligent review and update of all of these documents
to prepare them for this vote, and thanks to the OASIS TC Admins (Robin
Cover and Chet Ensign) for their help in getting these ready for voting.

If you have any questions, please let me know. 

Thank you. 

Regards,
Brent
