SOU Survey and Report

Lucia [explains the survey]

DF: So far it looks fine. On the following versions we should modify the survey as Yves suggested (elements and attributes are already covered by schema coverage). We will need to cover Constraints and PRs.
I will have a go on it and add my comments to the present report.
Any other comments on the draft?

It shows the state of the tools at that specific time we collected the SOUs, but things have advanced since then. Both Yves and Bryan added modules support. Do you think do we need to add that information?

YS: I think it is ok as is.

Lucia: I need to add the last “additional comments” section, it contains the information about “future implementations” are going to be undertaken.

DF: if we want to support the spec in the membership ballot we might want to add the new developments, it is up to Yves and Bryan if they want to retake the survey and add more information.

DF: ok. Let’s stay with the data obtained so far, I might talk to Bryan and Yves individually.

Membership vote on cos02

DF: Joachim, do you know your primary representative?

Joachim: It is Eric, I can send him an email.

DF: it will start in about two weeks taking into account the remaining following steps.

DF: I think individual and associate members do not have an invitation to vote. Do you know Yves if that is true?

YS: I think you are right. I am receiving the info but I’ve tried twice to vote on other things and my vote got refused.

Df: Bryan, do you know by heart the ratio for successful vote?

DF: [copy pasted policy] if at least 15 percent of the voting OASIS Membership has voted to approve the proposed standard, and if no votes have been cast to disapprove the proposed standard, it shall become an OASIS Standard immediately following the end of the voting period

if negative votes are cast amounting to less than 25 percent of the votes that have been cast, the TC shall be notified of the negative votes, after which the TC shall have 30 days to take one of the following actions by Resolution of a Special Majority Vote: (a) request the TC Administrator to approve the specification as submitted despite the negative votes; (b) withdraw the submission entirely; or (c) provide a submission amended to address negative votes as noted in section 3.4.4 below. If the originating TC upon notification of negative votes takes no formal action within the 30 days allocated for consideration of the results, then the specification shall not become an OASIS Standard.

BS: We should ask Peter to start attending our meetings during this period; it could not hurt to ask

Joachim: The list and AIs should not be public.

DF: The minutes are not public, the SC list is persistently archived but not publicly exposed. The SC can only get public through the XLIFF TC.
