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
