Subject: Procedural housecleaning 2: TC rules
UBL members, This should be read in conjunction with the accompanying message regarding subcommittee rules. As part of the effort to put all of our procedures in one place, I've assembled the following from various resolutions we've adopted over the last two years relating to the conduct of the TC itself. These rules supplement the OASIS TC process and the default procedures given in Robert's. The original resolutions can be found in the following documents: Minutes of the OASIS UBL TC Meeting, 2001.10.29-11.01 6 November 2001 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200111/msg00005.html Creation of TC vice chair position 19 December 2001 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200112/msg00014.html TC membership, attendance, and quorums 16 September 2002 http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200209/msg00000.html Unlike the proposed rules for subcommittees, the draft below doesn't represent anything new; it just pulls together the existing rules in a form that can be posted in one place. I have had to do a little editorial joinery work to put them in this form, so someone should check the language against the original sources above to make sure that I haven't inadvertently changed something. Jon ================================================================== STANDING RULES FOR THE OASIS UBL TC 1.
