Subject: Re: [sdd] SDD Ballots


SDD TC,

You should have received notices that the 4 ballots for approving the 
Specification/Schema, Primer, Examples and Starter Profile as Committee 
Specification Draft or Committee Note Drafts all have closed. All four 
ballots were unanimously approved and I thank each of the voting members 
for casting their votes.

As a reminder, we now have a second round of ballots to submit these 
approved documents for public review. As my earlier email below stated:

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). 

I have established the second set of ballots and they will open tomorrow 
at 8:00 a.m. US eastern time and remain open for 1 week. You should 
receive email notices when the ballots open.

Again, these additional 4 ballots are to submit the exact documents we 
just approved for public review (in the case of the specification, it will 
be for a 15-day public review because it has already undergone a 30-day 
public review; the others are for 30-day public reviews).

If you have questions, please let me know.

It remains important that each voting member cast his or her vote (sooner 
rather than later is preferred).

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
