It was nice working with you too. Maybe we will meet each other at a 
conference sometime.

Yes, it seems that the W3C has taken the charter of published subjects for 
RDF to task, and Bernard has joined them. Good luck Bernard. Keep us 
informed. http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-tag/2003Jul/0022.html


I too, am planning to resign, but before that I will  help to facilitate a 
smooth transition.

Here is information from the OASIS Board ---

"(o). Closing a TC

TC Administration may close any TC that fails to conduct at least one 
quorate meeting or conduct any electronic ballots during any six month 
period; whose voting membership falls below three members; has reached its 
completion date; or has failed to show progress towards achieving its 
purpose as defined by its charter. TC Administration must close a TC that 
has completed its deliverables. A TC can be closed by resolution of its 
members or by resolution of the Board."

-- FYI

Our last ballot was May 19 so that gives us until November 19 to either 
conduct a ballot where we get a response from a quorum or have a meeting 
with a quorum. the TC will natually disappear if we do nothing and continue 
with only these email interchanges.

Not much really needs to be done actually.

We need to

1. Create a ballot to elect a Chair (through a ballot)

2. Set up a meeting schedule (one conference call every two-three months 
should work

3. Get a listing of organizations who will sponsor the conference calls.

First of all, let's accept volunteers for the Chair. Whoever steps forward, 
I will create a ballot for this.

Scott will need to give me temporary access to create the ballot.
