I assume it would be appropriate to draw on the experience of the TAB to 
comment on the TC process on errata? As you know, I am concerned in 
particular with how the errata process at OASIS can be coordinated with 
others in an increasingly pluralistic standards universe. To enable that 
sort of coordination, I suspect it will take more than trivial mapping 
of terminology. Issues range from who can suggest, who responds, what to 
do post-TC (is there a time when "maintenance" stops for example?). That 
seems to me to be a first step, before even considering more complex 
issues of relationships with other organizations.

Hope you are having a great day!
