Hi Mary,
Thanks for this. I think Rodolfo has given some very good reasons why we
might be interested in doing this. What is the policy you are referring
to? Is there some document on this? I think it makes sense for us to
discuss this further and come to a conclusion on how we should proceed.
Thanks,
Peter.

Hi all,
Just chiming in -- any submission to any other Standards Organization
*must*
be done via OASIS and not by members of the TC. There is a Policy
(Liaison) that
talks about this, including (OASIS) Board approval.
If you think XLIFF is ready to go to ISO then may I suggest you review
the
policy and then we can set up a call to discuss and walk through the
various
steps? I'd be happy to arrange a call whenever you're ready!
Best regards,
Mary
