Subject: Ballot: UBL 2.0 Committee Draft for third public review
Hello UBL TC, This message is to announce the start of balloting UBL 2.0 as an OASIS Committee Draft intended for the third public review cycle. Please read the following for an explanation of what this means and where we are in the overall process. The ballot opens at 5 p.m. New York time Wednesday 13 September 2006 and closes at 5 p.m. New York time Wednesday 20 September 2006. Since quick approval would be advantageous to our release schedule, I urge you to log in now to the UBL TC site and click on "Ballots" to record your vote. DO NOT use the UBL mailing list for voting; use the web site. Note that you will need to log in using your OASIS password in order to vote. DOCUMENT LOCATION The most recent version of the candidate UBL 2.0 PRD3 is available to members of the TC at http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/prd3-UBL-2.0.zip (Repeated attempts to upload this file to the server at OASIS by both cable modem and dialup modem did not succeed. Presumably OASIS staff will be able to transfer the file in time for the public review.) NOTES - This vote is to begin a third public review; it is not a final approval of the specification. - The current draft is still missing the ASN.1 schemas, which will be included in the package to be submitted to OASIS following this vote. Since the ASN.1 section is informative, its addition will not constitute a substantive change under the OASIS TC process. BALLOT TEXT The question to be voted on reads as follows: Resolved, 1. That the OASIS UBL TC approves the UBL 2.0 draft specification currently located at http://ibiblio.org/bosak/ubl/prd3-UBL-2.0.zip as an OASIS Committee Draft. 2. That the UBL TC chairs and secretaries are authorized to make such editorial and formatting changes to the approved document as may be required for its publication as an OASIS Committee Draft. 3. That the UBL TC chairs and secretaries are authorized to submit the approved Committee Draft for OASIS public review together with the adjunct materials required by the OASIS standardization process. 4. That the UBL TC chairs and secretaries are authorized to make such further editorial and formatting changes to the approved Committee Draft as may be requested by OASIS Administration to meet the requirements of the OASIS public review process. VOTING REQUIRED Participation in a CD ballot is not optional for voting members of the TC. OASIS rules require "yes" votes from a majority of the entire voting membership of the TC in order to approve a Committee Draft. An abstention or a failure to vote may prevent passage of the resolutions on the ballot, and a failure to vote will count against your standing as a voting member of the TC. In response to member requests, I have enabled the ballot interface to accept abstentions. You should understand, however, that in an absolute majority vote such as this one, an abstention has the same effect as a vote to disapprove. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
