State, local, and
federal government leaders in the US would not line up behind all of the
changes listed. To some, climate change does not exist. TO others,
world poverty is not their problem. Some think that the financial
upheaval should be left to market forces. We would turn these leaders off
at this point. They may be looking for changes such as reducing the size
of government or reducing taxes, fees, etc.
My offering tries to
soften any negative reaction in the current US culture by making changes listed
simply examples.

Which exact words in
the current version are the ones that are causing you the problem? If we
could focus on those then we might find a quick solution.

Joe:
This could be a tough
one, as you state yourself, and finding the right balance isn’t going to
be easy. You’re right to bring it up.

Lines 19-23:
Given the political trends in the US, this paragraph may be unpalatable to the
political leaders that may control adopt of this standard. I offer the
following suggestion:
All around the
world, governments at national, state, and local levels face huge challenges as
a result of often seismic economic, political, social, environmental, and other
changes. These governments are called on to make transformative changes in
short timeframes. World-wide, governments have been called on to make
changes such as:
·
Raising educational standards
to meet the needs of a global knowledge economy;
·
Helping our economies adjust to
financial upheaval;
·
Lifting the world out of
poverty when more than a 22 billion people still live on less than a dollar a
day;
·
Facilitating the transition to
a sustainable, inclusive, low-carbon society; and
·
Delivering these improvements
while reducing the tax burden on our economies.

Subject: [tgf] Editorial Processes - keep this mail for reference
Hi all:
Following on
from last week’s TC meeting, the editors (Chris and myself) together with
John, have had a couple of further rounds of editing and discussion. We will
proceed now as follows:
1.
Once we have received the
formal template from the OASIS TC Administration, I will prepare a first formal
draft of the ‘TGF Primer’. We aim to submit this to the TC by the
end of this week;
2.
This first draft will contain
‘everything and the kitchen sink’ at this early stage and contain a
clear disclaimer that it is an early draft and that some/much of the content
will probably be moved to a separate, standards-track, document as work
progresses;
3.
This first draft will not
include material that I am preparing for a ‘full’ terminology nor
the draft of a reference model – we already know that this is more likely
to go in the ‘core’ standard deliverable, so I will leave it out of
the Primer, and come back to it at a subsequent TC meeting.
4.
The editors’ drafts will
be paragraph and line-numbered and drafted in Word;
5.
The editors’ drafts will
be posted to the TC document repository in PDF only and all TC members
will be notified by mail;
6.
Any TC member working on a
substantial section of this or any deliverable will be sent a copy of that
section in an editable file (.doc, .docx, or .odf) and be asked to conform with
some filenaming rules. The editors will maintain complete overview of all
editable files and ensure that all stable versions are uploaded
7.
TC members will be invited to
comment on the text (and every new draft thereafter) by submitting a ‘New
Issue’. All new issues should indicate the line number(s) concerned; give
a short title in the subject line (helpful for threading subsequent
discussions); and ndicate the nature of the issue (typo, editorial, conceptual,
textual, etc). All new issues will be captured in a simple spreadsheet, the
editors will comment and invite further feedback/discussion from the originator
and the TC; Detailed guidance will be sent out with the first TGF Primer draft.
8.
Based on other TC’s, a
large portion of issues are dealt with easily between submitter and editors
between meetings – this means that TC meetings can concentrating on
discussing and resolving the major issues of concern.
9.
The editors will submit the
issues list, updated, to each TC meeting, with recommendations for discussion.
10.
Generally, a new draft will be
prepared in the days following each TC meeting and the cycle above will repeat.
I hope this
helps!
Cheers,
Peter
