Re: Advancement of UBL NDR v1.0; TC to decide

[jon.bosak@sun.com]

Hello Jamie,

This is to inform you that the UBL TC has resolved by common
consent, effective 12 January 2005, to request the approval of UBL
NDR v1.0 as an OASIS Standard despite the negative votes received
during balloting.  See

Best regards,

Jon Bosak
Chair, OASIS UBL TC

   We have announced that the OASIS member vote to advance UBL NDR
   v1.0 as an OASIS Standard received sufficient votes to pass.
   Congratulations.  However, the TC Process rules require that
   the TC act to consider its reaction, in the event that any
   negative votes are cast.  Several negative votes were cast by
   members in the ballot closing yesterday.  So the TC must by
   resolution take one of the three steps listed as alternatives
   below.

   Please let me know how you would like to proceed within the
   next 30 days.

   Excerpt from http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard:

   >If at the end of the voting period at least 15 percent of the voting 
   >membership has voted to approve the proposed standard, * * * if negative 
   >votes amounting to less than 15 percent of the voting membership have been 
   >cast, the TC will be notified of the negative votes, after which the TC 
   >shall have 30 days to take one of the following actions by resolution: (a) 
   >request OASIS TC Administration to approve the specification as submitted 
   >despite the negative votes; (b) withdraw the submission entirely; or (c) 
   >submit an amended specification, in which case the amended submission 
   >shall be considered as if it were a new submission, except that 
   >information regarding previous votes and any disposition of comments 
   >received in previous votes shall accompany the amended submission.

   Best regards  Jamie Clark
