Subject: Comment from OASIS SCA Java TC relating to new spec process



I am writing on behalf of the SCA Java TC with some comments relating to the new specification process.

Something that concerns the TC is the apparent proliferation of files that is involved with the new process,
which we think can lead to more work and to confusion.

One particular case in point is where a TC votes a new Committee Draft of a spec and then also votes
to send this new draft for a Public Review.  The new committee draft and the public review version of the
spec are one and the same document.  However, in the OASIS Kavi system, what appears are 2 files
with different names:

foo-csd03.pdf
foo-csdprd02.pdf

One is numbered by the sequence of committee drafts, the other is numbered by the number of public reviews.
They can have very different numbers even though they are one and the same document.

The SCA Java TC takes the view that this aspect of the new process is at best confusing and at its worst it can
be downright misleading.  The TC asks that the TAB look into this and comes forward with a proposal which
will improve the situation.



Yours, Mike
