Re: [stdsreg] action items

Karl, et al.

In response to the action items from the last meeting ...

10/1: We should seek a standards organization that covers a wide range of 
disciplines, at least beyond e-business and XML.  We will need to get 
vertical industry groups to use the metadata, so it has to be viewed as 
more than a exercise for techies.

10/2: We want to make the comment process as simple as possible -- the goal 
is to encourage comments not make respondents jump through hoops.  In that 
spirit, let's consider (1) two comment periods, preliminary and final (2) 
each comment period 30 days, with 45 days during winter or summer holiday 
period, (3) print draft documents with line numbers, (4) require 
respondents to identify either the paragraph number or line number range in 
the comments, (5) if possible, set up message board to capture comments, 
(6) offer alternate e-mail submissions for respondents who wish to remain 
anonymous,  (7) separate comments into two groups -- substantive and copy 
editing, (8) after each comment period, the team should review each comment 
and categorize as (a) accept, (b) reject as unresponsive, (c) ask 
respondent for clarification or elaboration, or (d) discuss further among 
team members.

Best regards.
