        REQUEST FOR CREATION OF THE XSLT/XPath Conformance TECHNICAL
        COMMITTEE

        Members of the XSLT Conformance mail list have proposed to
        form an OASIS technical committee chartered to develop and
        publish the OASIS XSLT/XPath Conformance Report.

        The proposed deliverables of the TC are as follows (subject
        to minor adjustment):

        (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 (subject to minor adjustment
        with member agreement; some dates are associated with
        industry conferences and need to be coordinated); Sun
        Microsystems having agreed to provide phone conference
        services:

          June 5, 2000 Washington DC  - face-to-face (at NIST)
          July 6, 2000                - teleconference
          Sept XML World, Boston      - face-to-face/teleconference
                                        combination
          Oct XML One Fall, San Jose  - face-to-face (at Sun)
          Nov 8, 2000                 - teleconference
          Dec XML'2000, Washington DC - face-to-face
          Jan 2001                    - teleconference

        The following OASIS members and employees of OASIS member
        organizations have nominated themselves to serve as voting
        members of the TC and have accepted the purpose,
        deliverables, and meeting schedule described above.
