Subject: [stdsreg] proposed charter


Standards Registry participants:

At our first meeting we should agree on a charter. Here's a proposal. It
is meant to be lightweight, but is there anything that has been left
out?

Standards Registry Committee (StdsReg) Charter
==============================================

Goal:
--------
The goal of the Standards Registry Committee is to promote the exchange
of information between standards development organizations (SDOs), and
make information about SDO activities available to the public in order
to increase collaboration between SDOs and the development of more
interoperable specifications, and increase the participation in
standards efforts and adoption of completed specifications by users.

Deliverables:
--------------
The Standards Registry Committee will create the following:

1. A simple specification for metadata that describes both in-progress
and completed technical work created by SDOs. The metadata should be
flexible enough to describe the work of most SDOs, and simple enough
that it can be implemented at very little cost.

2. Selection of a taxonomy that can be used to classify each SDO's
specifications.

3. A recommendation for how standards registries, both current and
future, can be tied together to allow common searching across the
registries hosted by various organizations.

The committee's goal is to create the above deliverables in three to six
months.

Existing work should be used where possible and appropriate, and
completed work should be in conformance with existing international
standards as appropriate.

The deliverables of the committee will be considered public property and
may be freely used by anyone.


Process
-------
The StdsReg committee should be run in a very lightweight manner, with
openness and cooperation as the guiding philosophy. The committee chair
will conduct the committee according to the general principles of
Robert's Rules, but the actual rules of Robert's will be used only when
necessary.

The committee chair will be elected by majority vote of the committee
members. The chair can be removed by 2/3 vote of the committee.

Membership in the StdsReg Committee is open to any person who can and
will contribute to the deliverables of the committee. Active
participation is expected. With the exception of the committee's first
meeting a person cannot vote at the first committee meeting he attends
or in his first email ballot.

All activities of the committee will be publicly viewable. All meeting
minutes and draft documents should be posted to a publicly accessible
web page, and all mail list discussions will be publicly archived.
Voting may take place in meetings and via email.
