All:
I
believe it is time to vote a Committee Draft.
"The TC may at any stage
during development of a specification approve the specification as a
Committee Draft. The approval of a Committee Draft shall require a Full
Majority Vote of the TC. The TC may approve a specification, revise it,
and re-approve it any number of times as a Committee Draft."
Does
not need to be in a final shape. But mature and stable enough to refer
to it publicly.
The
advantage in doing this, we give some visibility to our latest draft,
and some standing in the TC after beeing voted CD.
That
is increasingly necessary if we want to be able to refer to it in other
works or groups.
I
am myself in the situation where I am using TAG design for another work
and need now to reference TAG document in this other work. Otherwise
there might be confusion who is using whose work...
Full
majority means 50%+ of all voting members. If we have this qorum at
next meeting (Wed 29) I'd submit the draft for vote, although I'd do
that only after getting feedback from the K-TAG forum.
Otherwise
we can start a 1-week electronic ballot.
So
for this CD vote, we should make sure to have a CD-candidate version of
the draft by end of next week.
Stephen:
this means that only the following changes need be made: (a) purely
editorial ones, at your discretion, (b) technical changes that the TC
has already agreed on, or we have clearly a consensus on.
By
posting the candidate CD latest by Friday 24, we give a chance to the
TC to catch any glaring flaw by Monday, where we would expect our
editor (you) to post a corrected version by Tuesday just before Wed
meeting...
This
CD may contain the figures we have been talking about, if anyone has
time to craft these.
The
next step is the really important one: Committee Specification, which
would require some public review prior to vote.
Thanks,
Jacques
