I fully support you to be the TC chair. Thanks for standing up.

As I saw no comments on both your email and my reply I assume the situation
I depicted does indeed illustrate the reality of the group.

In order to avoid premature closuer, and since we still need to do some
things in SOATEL Please accept my willingness to cover the role of TC Chair.

Of course I'd be more than happy that you could set up the ballot with more
than just my name.

Regards

Enrico

That may be why Mike did not comment on my mail last week asking for
confirmation of this weeks' meeting.

Nevertheless it is correct that the TC has 2 voting members. Actually they
"are" 3 with Mike (yesterday was his first meeting miss).
Yesterday we had a meeting and we reached quorum since 2 voting members
participated (Federico Rossini and myself, plus Lucia Geradinariu, not a
voting member).

This year the group had meetings on Jan 12, Feb 16, Feb 23, Mar 2 and, as I
said, Apr 14.

Meetings were held regularly, called in anticipation and minutes were taken.
They are all on the SOATEL page. The only typo is that if you open the march
2 notes (word doc) you read Feb 23 as the date.

As far as I recall Olaf Renner lost voting rights on Feb 23 while Christian
Guenter only recently joined March 2nd call.
Up to march 2 only Federico Rossini, Mike Giordano and myself have always
attended the meetings (regrettably I must say). Yesterday was the first miss
from Mike Giordano.

All this to say that hopefully things were done according to TC process,
even if it is really a shame that so little attendance is resulting.

If some TC member diverges from this representation please feel free to
comment.

Since now the group has almost completed the work, we decided yesterday, in
good faith, to have next meetings on May 11th and June 8th.

Telecom Italia's opinion is that indeed the TC must remain open since we
have the Req document out for public eval and we are (finally) beginning our
liaisons with OASIS Security Services TC and W3C.

So, from my point of view
- happy to verify if some voting rights were lost
- happy to see if someone of the 19 colleagues in the roster wishes to take
the role of TC Chair: before volunteering myself for this role I'd prefer to
wait and see if one of the roster colleagues takes a step on this.

regards


Enrico

Apparently Mike Giordano is no longer with Avaya; his emails have bounced
and his account has been deactivated. Without a Chair, a TC can take no
action nor can it conduct any business other than to elect a new Chair.

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#chairs
"... If the TC does not have a Chair then all TC activities, with the
exception of the selection of a new Chair, are suspended; if the TC does not
have a Chair for 120 days, the TC Administrator must close the TC. ..."

It appears that the Kavi attendance tracker has not been used and therefore
it is difficult for me to verify the voting roster. According to the Kavi
roster there are only 2 voting members, both from a single company. There
are, however, 19 Members listed. If anyone who is listed as a member feels
that they should have been granted voting rights, please reply. To gain
voting rights you must attend two meetings in a row; similarly, voting
rights are lost if you miss two meetings in a row.

Since the TC currently has a document out for public review I am assuming
that it would like to remain open; it that case I will need nominations for
Chair so I can begin a ballot once the voting roster has been verified.

Regards,

Mary
