Process for Affirming OASIS Standard

["Mary McRae" <mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org>]

To Members of the Web Services Business Process Execution Language (WSBPEL) Technical Committee:

 

The recent ballot received one or more negative votes. According to Section 3.4 in the TC Process:

 

"...However, if negative votes amounting to less than 15 percent of the voting membership have been cast, the TC shall be notified of the negative votes, after which the TC shall have 30 days to take one of the following actions by Resolution of a Special Majority Vote: (a) request the TC Administrator 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."

 

The TC must now decide what action to take. All Special Majority votes will be conducted via an electronic ballot that will run for a period of 7 days; the chair should notify the TC Administrator of the TC's preference in writing including a link to the meeting minutes.

 

Regards,

 

Mary
