Subject: Agenda for today's TC meeting
Title: Agenda for today's TC meeting
Hi Folks,
I apologize for getting this out so late, but I was seeking
further guidance, as well as making sure I included what was needed to
be able to discuss current issues:
Here's the agenda as best I can construct it:
Agenda:
Old Business:
1. Generating and publishing material supporting CAP vote.
1a. Tom Merkle has this venue and
information:
I have received permission
from Robin Cover (OASIS) to use the CAP announcement on the web page
in this month's CapWIN Connection newsletter that is due out
soon. The newsletter is set out via list server and may also
be viewed at
<http://www.capwin.org>http://www.capwin.org. While most of the government
users are aware of the CAP progress, the announcement CAP is moving
into the production XML environment tool kit is welcome news. I will
write additional articles concerning the use of CAP in the DHS,
Justice, and Transportation communities as CAP is integrated into
those environments. Justice is using the CAP in their Global Justice
XML Data Dictionary (GJXDD), which is part of the Global Justice Data
Model (GJXDM). The transportation community will be able to make use
of the CAP through the IEEE 1512.2 Public Safety Incident Management
Message Sets for Center to Center Messaging standard which utilizes
the CAP through the GJXDD.
Regards,
Tom Merkle
1b. Rex
Brooks has this venue and information from Christopher Lakey at Image
Matters LLC, vouched for by Carl Reed:
Rex,
ImageMatters produces a web
site and monthly newsletter for Sun and ESRI on topics related to java
and location services. If you're interested, you could put
together a set of articles for a featured newsletter. I am not
sure what the current subscription and traffic trends are, but it's
mostly industry people.
Visit
<http://www.jlocationservices.com/>http://www.jlocationservices.com/ for a look at
the site and past newsletters.

3. Registries?
New Business:
1. New Chair for IF?
2. Public-Comments Messages: From Archive:
Note that according to OASIS TC Process, there is no requirement that
comments made to the public comments list be addressed during the
voting process. The rules, excerpted below, are located at
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard:
"...
If at the end of the voting period at least 15 percent of the voting
membership has voted to approve the proposed standard, then if no
votes have been cast to disapprove the proposed standard, it shall
become an OASIS Standard immediately following the end of the voting
period. However, if negative votes amounting to less than 15 percent
of the voting membership have been cast, the TC will be notified of
the negative votes, after which the TC shall have 30 days to take one
of the following actions by resolution: (a) request OASIS TC
Administration to approve the specification as submitted despite the
negative votes; (b) withdraw the submission entirely; or (c) submit an
amended specification, in which case the amended submission shall be
considered as if it were a new submission, except that information
regarding previous votes and any disposition of comments received in
previous votes shall accompany the amended submission.
If at the end of the voting period less than 15 percent of the voting
membership has voted to approve the proposed standard, or if at the
end of the voting period 15 percent or more of the voting membership
has voted to disapprove the proposed standard, or if the originating
TC upon notification of negative votes takes no formal action within
the 30 days allocated for consideration of the results, then the
specification shall not become an OASIS Standard. This shall not
prevent a later version of the same specification from being submitted
again as specified in this section.
..."
This does not mean, however, that it is wise or prudent to ignore or
disregard comments. Further guidance has been sought, as of Monday
morning March 8, 2004 but not received as of the time this message is
posted.
All messages that have been posted to public-comments since the
announcement of CAP approval voting are located:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/emergency-comment/200403/maillist.html
