2. TA GUIDELINES

Jacques filed the request on 03-12 for Committee Note ballot.  The TC Admin will initiate that ballot and a one-week electronic ballot will then conclude the process for the Guidelines Committee Note.  Expectation is ballot over by the end of March.


3. NEXT STEPS FOR TA MODEL AND TA MARKUP

3.1 Current status of Statements of Use.

The TA Model and TA Markup each require at least three Statements-of-Use to advance.

For the TA Model there are now three and the union covers all conformance clauses of the TA Model.

For the TA Markup there are only 2 statements of use for it.  There are non-organizational members that also use TA Markup but the relaxed rules won't go into effect earlier than the Summer.  The TC Process can't change before the July Board Face-to-Face.

Option #1: Just process the TA Model, and point to the markups and guidelines as adjunct documents.  Process TA Markup later if ever.

Option #2: Knowing that the rules may change, wait until the rules change and process both concurrently.  They would still be considered as distinct.  It would be weird if they are not balloted consistently (i.e., Markup approved without the Model).

Option #3: See if can get a statement of use for Markup depending on how the NIST Electronic Voting group ends up using it.

3.2 Approach Moving Forward

Motion: Upon availability of the TA Guidelines Committee Note, the TAG TC will submit the prerequisites and request the special-majority vote to approving the TC Model Committee Specification as a Candidate OASIS Standard.

Dennis moved, Kevin seconded.  Approved by unanimous consent.

There is a detailed procedure on what must be package as part of the Candidate OASIS Standard submission: <http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#OASISstandard>.  It is mostly procedural.  All of the requisite information is available.

4. FUTURE MEETINGS

Tentative: April 10th at 2pm PDT (21:00 UTC)

Respectfully submitted,

 - Dennis E. Hamilton
   TAG TC Secretary
