    Subject: FORMAL: Revised rules for UBL localization subcommittees


    Hello UBL TC,
    
    On 6 April, I sent you a proposal for revising our rules regarding
    UBL localization subcommittees:
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200604/msg00024.html
    
    Having received no substantive responses, I'm going to assume that
    you are OK with the proposed changes and now put this to you
    formally.  On approval, the revised rules below will replace the
    LSC rules adopted in 2003:
    
       http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200311/msg00006.html
    
    If any voting member of the UBL TC disagrees with adoption of the
    revised rules below, please signify the same by posting an
    objection to this list no later than COB Sunday 30 April 2006.  If
    you have no objection to adoption of the revised rules, do
    nothing.
    
    Jon Bosak
    Chair, OASIS UBL TC

    3. The essential tasks of a UBL localization subcommittee shall be
       as follows:
