Re: [ws-caf] FW: Groups - oasis - Ballot "status value types andoptional namespace" has closed

[Mark Little <mark.little@arjuna.com>]

Tony, I'm disappointed that not more people voted, but it's difficult to 
schedule votes that won't conflict with some people being away from work 
for one reason or another. I believe that the Easter "break" in the UK 
wasn't matched in the States, for example. There was several days notice 
before the vote was started that it was coming and I extended the vote 
beyond the minimum 7 days that OASIS rules require. Martin also sent out 
reminders last week.

Now none of this means I'm against re-opening these specific votes. Just 
that a) OASIS procedures were followed to the best of my knowledge, and 
b) there's no guarantee that we can ever get a vote period that will 
satisfy everyone all of the time.

All the best,

Mark.
