RE: [xliff]
Motion to conduct an electronic ballot
Hi Helena,
Peter seconds, but would
like to add the specific reference to XLIFF. Is this wording acceptable
to you:
"Elect a representative
from OASIS XLIFF TC to Unicode for the formal liaison membership between
Unicode Consortium and the
OASIS XLIFF TC ."
If so I will initiate that
ballot.
Thanks,
Bryan

Hi Bryan,
I am happy to second this but I think that
we make sure this is a formal liaison between Unicode Consortium
and OASIS XLIFF TC and not just with OASIS. It the liaison was just with
OASIS we should consult Jamie Clark.
I would also like to nominate David Filip
as the liaison if this motion is passed.
Thannks and I hope everyone has a wonderful
weekend,
Peter.

Hello TC voting members,
Helena has proposed a ballot
that we "Elect a representative from OASIS XLIFF TC to Unicode for
the formal liaison membership between Unicode Consortium and OASIS."
Further details are contained in the attached thread.
Per the OASIS policy (
http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#voting ),
I invite any eligible voting member to second Helena's motion.
Normally the motion to hold
an electronic ballot must be made in a TC meeting. But I will use the clause
that our TC " has
adopted a standing rule to allow this motion to be made on the TC ??s general
email list."
As soon as I receive a second,
I will set up the ballot in kavi (in accordance with our TC's standing
custom). Per the OASIS policy, the ballot period will be seven days (this
is the minimum duration). At the conclusion a simple majority will either
pass or not pass the proposal.
Thanks,
Bryan

Please put this forward.
Proposal: Elect a representative from OASIS XLIFF TC to Unicode for the
formal liaison membership between Unicode Consortium and OASIS.
Please respond with the following by the end of day EDT May 9th 2011:
Yes for approval,
No for rejection, or
Abstain
In order to establish a formal liaison membership between Unicode Consortium
and OASIS, we need representatives on both sides. Helena Chapman has been
selected to represent Unicode Consortium for this relationship. This ballot
provides the selection of the OASIS representative from within XLIFF TC.
David Filip has volunteered to be the XLIFF TC representative to
Unicode Consortium and will represent OASIS in this relationship.

Hi Helena,
Thank you for this very useful report. It sounds like you had a fruitful
meeting.
Let's consider your request that members reply to your note by end of day
EDT May 9 as a "straw poll" for now. I will be happy to initiate
an official ballot on your behalf (compliant with all the necessary OASIS
mechanics), if you'd like.
I think I have an idea of the specifics, but please send me the exact wording
of the ballot you desire, in language along the lines of this mythical
example: "Please respond with a 'yes', 'no' or 'abstain' vote to the
following: 'The XLIFF TC shall begin all of its meetings with a reading
of the charter'." Once we get the words straight, I'll kick off the
ballot right away (including a clear duration).
I see no problem in completing this ballot before the next TC meeting.
Thanks for taking the initiative to sort out these important and relevant
issues.
- Bryan

Hi. Just had a call with Yves, Christian, David F, David W, Steven, Lucia,
and Peter. I want to summarize the conversation. Essentially, we agreed
that segmentation standards should be worked on within the new Unicode
ULI TC:
1. TR29 specifying the definition and types of textual
segmentation rules that applies across the entire life cycle of content,
not just during translation phase.
2. SRX being the interchange standards for #1.
3. CLDR to publish language specific segmentation
behavior. Following the core/module concept, the specialty module would
not be expected to be 100% interoperable. However, core should.
Additionally, we also discussed memory standards. The consensus is that
though this is needed, we will not consider this be a focus area for the
new Unicode TC except for the areas that intersect with segmentation. Helena
proposed that memory standard is better off not be within the XLIFF TC
but should be under OASIS. David F and Peter expressed though initially
it may get started under XLIFF and then move off to a new TC under OASIS
if there is enough engagement. This is up for discussion in the future.
Helena will be asking for the liaison membership between Unicode and OASIS
to Scott McGrath and she will rep the Unicode side. Yves suggested that
he is too busy to take this on. David F has volutneered to be the XLIFF
rep to Unicode. Bryan, we need to vote on this and preferably if we can
do so by email to save time on the meeting. I vote yes. Others please also
respond by replying to this note by end of day EDT Tuesday May 9th of your
preference.
The wider call for participation for the new ULI TC will go out next week.
