UIMA TC Final Comments DUE May 9th -- Action Required.

[David Ferrucci <ferrucci@us.ibm.com>]

Hi all,

Attached below is a complete draft of
the UIMA Specification -- a proposed standard for interoperable text and
multi-modal analytics.

This is the product of a lot of our
hard work - thanks to all and especially to Adam Lally  for doing
the bulk of the spec writing.

On the next call -- May 9th -- we will
be reviewing final comments/changes.

As soon as these comments are integrated,
 we plan to open a  ballot for the UIMA TC to vote on submitting
the completed draft for the official OASIS review process.

So here's what you have to do:

1. Read the attached draft and send
comments in email  to the UIMA TC before May 9th.   Ideally,
 you we be available to represent those comments on the telecon on
May 9th, but even if you can't attend just sending the comments in email
will be helpful.

2. When the Ballot to approve the submission
open,  PLEASE VOTE using the OASIS web-voting tool. (All voting members
have used this tool before). A vote for YES will be  to go ahead and
submit the draft,  a vote for NO should be accompanied by a reason
describing what else you believe needs to be done to make the draft suitable
for submission.

Thanks for all your work. 

We are almost there :)

-Dave
