Re: Proposed agenda for meeting 2000-09-06 09:00-12:00EDT

[John Robert Gardner <John.Robert.Gardner@east.sun.com>]

Somewhat belatedly, I'd like to offer the following wording for the resolution 
on how to handle dispuations on interpretation of specification wording:

<resolution type="draft" source="JRGardner">
Resolved:

	It shall be the policy of the OASIS XSLT Conformance committee that, 
when there should arise any dispute among members or from formal submission by 
observers as to the interpretation of the W3C Recommendation for XSLT and/or 
XPath that said disputes be placed before the committee for a vote as to whether 
to forward the question to the W3C for a formal resolution of the perceived 
ambiguity.  The vote can be moved by any voting member present.  Such vote would 
be by 2/3 majority of quorum.  Failure to achieve 2/3 majority vote reverts the 
issue back to discussion and motion for one position or another to be adopted as 
the XSLT Conformance Committee's own interpretation. 
	
	The member motioning for the W3C submission will have responsibility to 
word the submission, submitted to the committee email list for general 
discussion, and the final version of the submitted question(s) will be sent by 
the committee chair on behalf of the committee.  Disputations from each voting 
meeting, by phone, or in-person meeting, shall be submitted as a group.  
	
	For timeliness on responses, and hopeful resolution at the meeting 
succeeding that in which the question was voted for submission, the draft of 
submitted question shall be required for posting to the Committee listno later 
than 10 working days after the meeting which the disputation arose.
</resolution>
