Process for Affirming OASIS Standard

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

To Members of the Web Services Federation TC:

The recent ballot received one or more negative votes.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1677

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
