Subject: Re: [ubl-csc] Proposed SC subscription policy


UBL SC chairs,

Allow me to propose one modification to the plan I sent out on
Thursday.  It seems to me that our biggest problem is simply
remembering to subscribe the new SC member when the five-day
approval process times out.  But since all of our SCs have (I
believe) decided to allow observers on their mailing lists, and
since the formal requirement for observers is exactly the same as
for nominees to UBL SCs (namely, that they be OASIS members or
employees of OASIS member organizations), I think that we can
finesse this by subscribing a person when their nomination goes
out to the TC and calling that person an observer for the five
days it takes to be approved by the TC.

Then our procedure would go like this:

1. A qualified person applies to an SC chair for membership.

2. The SC chair forwards the request to me and at the same time
   subscribes the applicant to the SC mail list.  The procedure
   for doing this is as follows:

      Send a message to <listname>-requests@lists.oasis-open.org
      with the following message body:

         subscribe <address>

      where <listname> is the name of the list (e.g., ubl-ndrsc)
      and <address> is the address to be subscribed.

3. I post a "nomination" to the TC giving them the minimum five
   days to object.

4. For the five days it takes for formal TC approval, the
   applicant is considered to be a nonvoting observer in the SC.
   At the end of that time, the applicant automatically becomes a
   voting member.

I like this plan because it requires just one set of actions on
the part of the SC chair (send me the application and subscribe
the applicant) and one action on my part (send the nomination to
the TC).

Note that your SC must have approved the presence of observers on
your mail list for this to work.

What do you think?

Jon
