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
