Hi Elysa,
I'm including Jamie as he can give you more specifics. Just for everyone's benefit here's a brief overview:
OASIS has a Liaison Policy that describes two categories of liaison relationships: Org-to-Org and TC-to-WG/TC/SC/etc.
All submissions to another standards body must be done at the OASIS/org-to-org level and follow the procedure given here (sorry, someone really needs to add section numbers to the policy):
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/liaison_policy.php#submitwork
Beyond that, there's an established relationship with ITU-T (an MoU or some other sort of agreement between the two orgs)
And there's the TC <-> ITU-T WG liaison which is intended to enable communication and input into related work.
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/liaison_policy.php#liaisons
As you said, it's completely up to the TC whether they want to invest time in CAP 1.2 to then submit it to ITU-T, or to continue with the current plan of submitting CAP 2.0 when ready. Of course it's always best if a Standard has been approved by a de jure standards body that the two works are kept in sync with each other; if CAP 2.0 is still far off in the distance it may make sense to take the steps necessary to send CAP 1.2 over to ITU-T.
Best regards,
Mary

In an email today, I have asked the EM-TC to consider whether we wish to do this at all. I'm expecting to just get a general sense of the committees interest in our meeting next Tues. If we indeed want to go forward with this, there are a few things we might want to clean up that have been identified since the ratification of CAP 1.2. If an errata is required, I'd rather get that taken care of before attempting any alignment. That topic will be addressed in our meeting on Tues also. If we do agree in general to move forward, I will work through the remaining steps per the liaison policy.
