Subject: RE: [ws-rx] Designated Cross References




Paul,
I agree, the difference is subtle but quite important. The DCR gives us the capability to update now.   This will ensure the WS-RX set used for the final ballot will point to CS version of WS-SX specifications.

More importantly, it mitigates any chance of comments or swaying of votes. We as a WS-RX TC may understand the mechanics oblivious to member voting entities. If the specification used for the final vote does not have the CS WS-SX set of references, there is a chance some members may vote NO during the final ballot, since they may be concerned that the specification is pointing to editors' drafts of the WS-SX set. I'd be cautious in pursuing other than Option #1.

Thanks.

Monica

Doesn't the DCR guarantee that the references will be updated in time?
In effect we are asking Members to vote on "the RX spec with the
references eventually updated", and the guarantee that the RX spec won't
become OS until such time as the references are updated.

This seems analogous to the sort of conditional ballots we do quite
regularly like this one:

This could raise concerns, result in comments, or influence votes for OASIS Standard.  I suggest we take the safer bet with Option #1.
