OS submission ballot

[Rich Thompson <richt2@us.ibm.com>]

Mary McRae informs me that the OS submission
ballot must also be a 7 day ballot run by the TC Admin. There must be 3
or more use statements prior to initiating this ballot.

The OASIS process rules say the following
about such statements:

"Statement of Use", with respect to a
specification, is a written statement by an OASIS Organizational Member
stating that it is successfully using or implementing that specification
in accordance with the conformance clauses specified in Section 2.18*,
and stating whether its use included the interoperation of multiple independent
implementations. 


A recent example is:

We (IBM Belgium) are successfully using the EML specifications
and schemas
in accordance with the conformance clauses specified in the Process and
Data Requirements document. Our use has included the interoperation of
multiple independent implementations (i.e. IBM Belgium - EDS).

The last sentence is only to be included
if interop work with other implementations has occurred ...

For those needing to review the impact
of the conformance clause statement, I would point at section 15 of the
specification ...
