(b) The editable version of all files that are part of the Committee Specification;
 * (see above)

(c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;
 * The CMIS TC certifies that all schema and XML instances included in the specification are well formed, and that all expressions are valid.

(d) A clear English-language summary of the specification;
 * The Content Management Interoperability Services (CMIS) standard defines a domain model and Web Services and Restful AtomPub bindings that can be used by applications to work with one or more Content Management repositories/systems.
 
The CMIS interface is designed to be layered on top of existing Content Management systems and their existing programmatic interfaces. It is not intended to prescribe how specific features should be implemented within those CM systems, not to exhaustively expose all of the CM system’s capabilities through the CMIS interfaces. Rather, it is intended to define a generic/universal set of capabilities provided by a CM system and a set of services for working with those capabilities. 

For a more detailed summary see the following:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/cmis/download.php/36826/Summary%20of%20CMIS%201.0.pdf

(e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;

 * JSR 170 (aka JCR 1.0) and JSR 283 (aka JCR 2.0), developed under the
   Java Community Process (JCP), also define an interoperable interface
   for content management systems. There is no direct relationship
   between JCR and the CMIS specification. Some CMIS TC members
   are/were also JSR 283/170 Expert Group members.
	o JCR is a Java API, whereas CMIS is a protocol-layer interface.
	  The two interfaces can be complementary to each other. For
	  example, a CMIS interface may be layered on top of a JCR
	  repository to provide interoperability between JCR and non-JCR
	  (or non-Java) repositories.
	o JCR prescribes certain behaviors of a content management
	  system and defines an interface that is fairly functionally
	  complete. CMIS describes a set of basic concepts and functions
	  that can be easily layered on top of existing content
	  management systems for interoperability. Full functionality is
	  not a design goal for CMIS.

 * WebDAV, developed under the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF),
   is a set of HTTP extensions. It offers some capabilities that are
   similar to CMIS's. There is no direct relationship between WebDAV
   and CMIS. CMIS supports multiple network protocols. Its AtomPub
   protocol binding uses the GET, PUT, POST, and DELETE methods of HTTP
   but not the WebDAV extensions.
	o WebDAV was designed to support distributed authoring on the
	  Web using a file system data model. The model and
	  functionality (HTTP methods) are not sufficient to support
	  content management. CMIS concepts, such as typed object,
	  peer-to-peer relationship, rendition, and administrative
	  policy, are not supported by WebDAV.
	o CMIS supports a simpler versioning model which can be more
	  easily mapped to a content management system's versioning
	  capability than WebDAV's versioning capability (defined by the
	  IETF Delta-V Working Group) can.
