    Sanjay,

    Issue agreed. The text " Ratification of the above specifications as OASIS Standards, including a brief period to address any errata, will mark the end of the TC's lifecycle. will be removed from the two charters.

    It is the intention of the charters to ensure that the life cycle of each TC must include a period of maintenance until there is confidence that the deliverables are stable.

    Subject: Contradictory statements regarding end of TC's lifecycle in the SCA-C / SCA-J charters



    Title: Contradictory statements regarding end of TC's lifecycle in the SCA-C / SCA-J charters

    The charters for the SCA-C and the SCA-J have the following statement under the Deliverables section:
    Ratification of the above specifications as OASIS Standards, including a brief period to address
    any errata, will mark the end of the TC's lifecycle.

    I think the above statement conflicts with what is said under the Maintenance sub section of the Deliverables section in the same charters:

    Once the TC has completed work on a deliverable and it has become an OASIS standard, the TC will enter "maintenance mode" for the deliverable. ...
