Subject: Proposed Call for Nominations
Here, folks, is my proposed wording for the Call for Nominations. It doesn't differ from my earlier prosed text as no-one has commented substantively! I'm sure we are all interested in getting to the technical nitty-gritties, but this is still important stuff to formalize the process and give the results credence that they were created according to the formalized process. ============================================================ CALL FOR NOMINATIONS: OASIS XSLT/XPATH CONFORMANCE TECHNICAL COMMITTEE The OASIS XSLT/XPath Conformance Technical Committee is being formed to develop and publish the OASIS XSLT/XPath Conformance Report. G. Ken Holman has agreed to serve as chair of the proposed committee. The proposed deliverables of the TC are as follows: (1) - entire report content in XML (normative) (2) - package of entire suite of associated test files, result files, and catalogue in XML (normative) (3) - report configuration document model in XML (normative) (4) - sample human-legible rendition(s) of report in HTML (non-normative) (5) - sample machine-legible rendition(s) of report in XML (non-normative) In the year following its proposed formation, the TC is expected to meet as follows: June 5, 2000 - face-to-face - Washington, D.C. - NIST Early September - face-to-face - Washington, D.C. - NIST Early December - face-to-face - Washington, D.C. - XML'2000 Early March - face-to-face - Washington, D.C. - NIST Upon startup, the TC will consist of a set of voting members and a set of non-voting observers. The voting members will be those who have been appointed by the ACTC from among persons nominating themselves in response to this call. Note that voting members must be able to promise attendance at meetings in order to meet quorum requirements. Therefore, OASIS members wishing to track and comment upon the work of the TC in the mailing list but not to attend its meetings regularly should subscribe to the mailing list but not apply for voting membership. Members of this list willing to commit to voting participation in the OASIS XSLT/XPath Conformance Technical Committee are hereby requested to respond to this list no later than May 26, 2000 with the following statement: I agree with the purpose of the XSLT/XPath Conformance TC as stated above. I understand that OASIS technical committees regularly meet in person or by phone and that participation in the XSLT/XPath Conformance TC will require me to attend most of its meetings. Based on the estimated meeting schedule given above, I certify that I have the means and the interest to attend such meetings and that I intend to do so. I understand that the TC cannot transact business in the absence of a quorum or take action by mail ballot without the active participation of its members and that therefore failure to attend meetings and vote in mail ballots will result in my removal from the committee. I promise to submit a letter of resignation to the chair or chairs of the committee if in the future I find myself unable to participate actively in its work. [name] [affiliation] [email address] [phone number] ============================================================ If you disagree with any of the above, please respond by Wednesday to the individual threads I started for each of the topics. Thursday May 11 I will finalize the text and then forward the results to the ACTC Friday May 12, thus giving people two weeks to commit to the work of the committee. Thanks! .................
