Subject: RE: XLIFF TC Charter for 2.0
Hi Bryan, It’s always a good idea to update the charter periodically; it
looks like it’s been a couple of years. The TC should take the time to make any
necessary updates and then submit to me and I can run the ballot. The key
distinction is to make sure you’re not expanding the scope. If it’s just an
update (1.2 to 2.0, new dates, etc.) then a clarification is all that is
required. If the scope is being expanded (to cover new work not described in
the charter presently) then a recharter would be warranted. Regards, Mary From:

Mary, Could
you please coach us on the best path for us to take regarding our
charter? Given our conclusion of work, and passing XLIFF 1.2, and the
TC's agreement that our next significant work will be XLIFF 2.0, we want to be
sure our charter is up-to-date, and reflects the newest set of goals. Are
we required to do Charter clarification (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#charterClarification), or Recharter (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#rechartering), or are we
permitted to continue under our current charter (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/xliff/charter.php)? I'm not asking you
to look into your crystal ball and spirit up the future of XLIFF 2.0 against
the current charter (though if you really could, I wouldn't stop you!). I
was just a bit unclear about the requirements when a TC advances to the next
version of its specification. I
think minimally we'd need to update the charter to reflect the fact that XLIFF
1.2 passed and is an OASIS Standard now. In
re-reading the existing charter, my personal opinion is that it is a bit stale,
and needs some wordsmithing. But I'm not entirely sure it fails to
reflect our current goals (a discussion for the TC to have, for sure). Thanks, Bryan |
