Subject: [wsia] [wsrp-wsia] Voting on TC Specification
Folks -- any of you who would like to participate in the day-to-day work on closing up the Joint Spec, and who are not already members of WSRP as well as WSIA, should send a note to Thomas Schaeck indicating your interest in joining WSRP. The joint meeting schedule for Thursdays 11-1 Eastern has already been circulated on the wsrp-wsia mailing list. Once there is a draft for approval as a Committee Spec each TC will then vote on whether to accept it separately. This will take place early next year.

Under the OASIS TC Process, TCs can coordinate their work, either informally through liaisons or formally through a JC, but neither is enforceable upon the other TC. I'm a bit wary about how this is proceeding. It appears that the TCs are starting to merge. A merger doesn't bother me but it should be formalized (which I think would require either starting a new TC and shutting down the two originals, or shutting down one and changing the charter of the other; but note that charters can only be "clarified" and such a change may be bigger than that. Let's discuss this separately). So to your question of how to handle this joint vote: My opinion is that each TC must make its own decision/vote. If the two coincide then great. If they don't then you'll have to figure out some other way to go forward -- probably modifying the item being voted upon then taking another vote on both sides." So the best option seems to be what we had discussed in a call a while ago - that the few remaining WSIA members who participate in the joint discussions and are not already WSRP TC members should join the WSRP TC to participate in votes on day-to-day issues. The WSRP TC then has to vote on the WSRP 1.0 specification to accept it as a WSRP TC spec and the WSIA TC can vote separately to make it into a common WSRP/IA TC spec. After the 1.0 spec, we then need to decide how to best go forward and whether we ultimately want to merge the TCs.
