Hi Jim, Thanks for the careful cleanup. These look good. For proceeding with the Public Review of these documents, I'll add a few more details to the process that Chet has already described: - You will need to make versions of these documents with all the changes "accepted", and include them in ZIP files with their associated files (similar to the ZIP files you sent with this message). - Upload the ZIP files to the TC document repository, and note the URIs. (Use the publicly-visible form of the URIs, as described in the Naming Directives,
http://docs.oasis-open.org/specGuidelines/ndr/namingDirectives.html#accessibleURIs .) - In the TC motions to approve these documents for Committee Specification Draft and Public Review, refer to these URIs. Regarding the earlier versions of the documents, it looks as though the TC Admin team will need to work with you to get things sorted out. I have created an issue in our issue tracking system (JIRA) to begin this process. You and TC members can track the progress at
http://tools.oasis-open.org/issues/browse/TCADMIN-485 . Regards, Paul P.S. Since I worked on a couple of TCs/Working Groups with �mit Yalçınalp, a wonderful woman of Turkish origin, I felt I had to correct that reference... On Thu, May 5, 2011 at 10:33 AM, James E Cabral <

Obviously nobody can guarantee that additional issues will not surface during the Public Reviews, but cleaning up these items before publishing the documents may help avoid additional update/review cycles. Items identified for correction: in BOTH documents: - Your/TC decision: update the names of TC Chairs or Editors to reflect change since 2008/2009? (add current Chairs and/or editors)? I changed the chairs to Jim Harris and myself and the Editor to Adam Angione - under "Related Work" on front page, there is no evidence of the existence of the "Profile 1.1" documents which are said to be replaced or superseded. The links don't work, and there is not even a directory " docs.oasis-open.org/legalxml-courtfiling/specs/ecf/v3.1/ " I could not find any references to Profile 1.1 or ECF 3.1 visible in any of the LegalXML ECF TC documents in Kavi. Suggestion: delete these references, or make them correct. The Web Services spec referenced a ECF Web Services SIP version 1.1 which is not currently available on
http://docs.oasis-open.org and is also not listed in the TC document library. From the email trail, it appears I that I initially distributed it to the TC via email. See:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/legalxml-courtfiling/email/archives/200810/msg00002.html I have also asked Mary Mcrae and her assistants repeatedly (in 2008, 2009 and 2010) to post this and other ECF 3.0, 3.01 and 3.1 specs to
http://docs.oasis-open.org . As an example, I ??ve attached an email trail from October 2008. - in "Symbols and Abbreviations", OASIS should be Organization for the Advancement of Structured Information Standards (not "Systems") Good catch. I fixed the definition. Webservices SIP: - In Normative references: [SOAP MTOM 1.0] - name misspelled - Yakmalp --> Yalcinalp This is a Russian name with multiple Anglicized versions. To be safe, I copied it from the SOAP MTOM spec. Portable Media SIP: - Section 1.1: "Error!Reference source not found." --> [RFC2119] Fixed - Section 2.1: Profile 1.0 --> Profile 2.0 Fixed - Front page: Declared XML Namespace - hypertext link goes to webservicesmessagingprofile I changed the hyperlink to a relative link to the schema. However, I also discovered an inconsistency with the namespace definitions in the schema file. To remedy this, I synchronized the namespace definitions in the following files: xsd/ECF-4.0-PortableMediaProfile.xsd messages/request/ECF-4.0-Operation.xml with the namespace listed in the specification ( urn:oasis:names:tc:legalxml-courtfiling:schema:xsd:PortableMediaProfile-2.0 ) Regards, Paul Knight On Wed, May 4, 2011 at 12:08 PM, Chet Ensign <

(By the way, if you would like me to dial in and join the meeting, just say the word.) - Paul has been over the two working drafts you sent us. He has noted a few fixes that you may want to apply now lest they come up during the public review period and require additional work and another review round. Paul will send those to you asap. - Once you fix (or not - your call) those working drafts, please load them into the TC's document archive on Kavi. - Then, on Tuesday, you can have the TC vote on two motions: - Motion 1 - to approve the working drafts in Kavi as Draft Committee Specifications (CSD's) - Motion 2 - to approve releasing the CSD's for 30 day public review Please make sure to document the motions and the votes in the meeting minutes. - After the TC has passed the motions, please go to the TC Administration Request forms at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/TCAdminRequests15-10-2010.html and enter 4 requests for us: - One Committee Specification Draft Creation / Upload Request for each of the two approved working drafts - One 30-day Committee Specification Draft Public Review (CSD-PR) Request for each CSD We will then produce and load the CSD's for the the ECF 4.0 Web Services and Portable Media SIP specifications and initiate the public reviews. This should go quickly since you've provided us with 'advance copies' of the working drafts. If you haven't put in a TCA request form before, I'll be happy to send you the 'how-to' to make it fast and easy. If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 973-378-3472 or send me an email. Like I say, it is pretty much walking through the mechanics from here and should go quickly.

scott.mcgrath@oasis-open.org ;
laurent.liscia@oasis-open.org ; Robin Cover; Paul Knight Subject: [chairs] An introduction to your new Director of Standards Development and TC Administration Greetings chairs, As a follow-on to Scott's announcement of my joining OASIS as the new Director of Standards Development and TC Administration, I thought you might appreciate a bit of background on who I am and what I bring to OASIS. I have long been involved with XML and OASIS. My employer was one of the founding organizations of SGML Open in 1993 and we built the consortium's first website (fondly known as "SGML Open House" for any of you who remember it). I also served on the TAB in its early years and co-chaired the LegalXML Legislative Documents TC. I feel well versed in both OASIS process and culture. I first got involved with SGML back in 1991 when my staff and I built a markup-driven, multi-output technical documentation publishing system for a database software company, Information Builders, Inc. I later worked at Matthew Bender, a boutique legal publisher, and at LexisNexis where I managed the development and implementation of content architecture standards and governance for their legal, news and business information products. My most recent position before joining OASIS was at Bloomberg LP, where I used XML data and metadata to package legal information in new and useful ways for customers. Throughout all these roles, I have concentrated on helping my management, peers and colleagues understand how the use of data standards adds efficiency, reliability and economy to the process of developing complex, inter-related information systems. I have also sought to manage the push and pull between long-term strategy and short-term practicality in productive ways that let us all get work done while making continual improvements in our systems. I hope those experiences will prove helpful in my new roles here at OASIS. The new Standards Development team at OASIS consists of me, Paul Knight, and (partially) Robin Cover. Let me say from the start that I am indebted to Robin for his extraordinary service as transitional TC Admin. I intend to take full advantage of his knowledge of the open standards landscape in general and the OASIS TC Process in particular as I come up to speed in my new role. I am also grateful to have a seasoned OASIS veteran like Paul onboard. As a team, we are committed to providing you with the assistance, instruction, and advice you need to ensure your goals are met and your TC work is productive. I will be reaching out to as many of you as possible in the weeks ahead to learn more about your work, your plans, and what I can do to help. In the meantime, if you have any immediate needs, questions, or comments for me, please don't hesitate to get in touch. I am open to your input and excited to be working with you all.

I needed to do a bit of cleanup to the document cover URIs to make them conform to the templates and make sure everything worked. The 3.1 and 3.01 versions need a lot more work ?? the cover template is off, and the Notice section is the pre-2005 IPR Policy. Also, errata are only allowed to OASIS Standards; the errata change should instead have just been incorporated into the spec and new CD approved. On a related note, is the TC not interested in putting their specifications out for public review and then voting them to Committee Specification status? While they may not be interested in OASIS Standard, it does seem that achieving the highest level of approval within the TC would be worthwhile. Just to make sure you understand the usage of the docs.oasis-open.org library ?? any specification that is submitted for public review or a higher level of approval must be uploaded to docs and must conform to all of the OASIS rules with regard to template usage, conformance clauses, authoritative declarations, naming guidelines, etc. Working drafts are never uploaded to docs and remain only in Kavi; Committee Drafts * may * be uploaded upon request, but must conform to all but the conformance clause and authoritative declaration requirements.
