Subject: | Re: [dita] Changes in OASIS TC processes and when we can send the DITA 1.2 spec to OASIS for a vote |
· (a) Links to the approved Committee Specification in the TC’s document repository, and any appropriate supplemental documentation for the specification, both of which must be written using the OASIS templates. The specification may not have been changed between its approval as a Committee Specification and its submission to OASIS for consideration as an OASIS Standard, except for the changes on the title page and running footer noting the approval status and date.
· (b) The editable version of all files that are part of the Committee Specification;
· (c) Certification by the TC that all schema and XML instances included in the specification, whether by inclusion or reference, including fragments of such, are well formed, and that all expressions are valid;
· (d) A clear English-language summary of the specification;
· (e) A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations;
· (f) The Statements of Use presented above;
· (g) The beginning and ending dates of the public review(s), a pointer to the announcement of the public review(s), and a pointer to an account of each of the comments/issues raised during the public review period(s), along with its resolution;
· (h) An account of and results of the voting to approve the specification as a Committee Specification, including the date of the ballot and a pointer to the ballot;
· (i) An account of or pointer to votes and comments received in any earlier attempts to standardize substantially the same specification, together with the originating TC’s response to each comment;
· (j) A pointer to the publicly visible comments archive for the originating TC;
· (k)
A pointer to any minority reports delivered by one or more Members who
did not vote in favor of approving the Committee Specification, which report
may include statements regarding why the member voted against the specification
or that the member believes that Substantive Changes were made which have
not gone through public review; or certification by the Chair that no minority
reports exist.
· The above submission must be made by the 15th of any month to the TC Administrator, who shall have until the end of the month to complete administrative processing and checking for completeness and correctness of the submission. If the submission is incomplete it shall be rejected but may be resubmitted at a later time.
· The TC Administrator shall submit the proposal to the OASIS Membership by the first day of the following month. The first 15 days of that month shall be used by the membership to familiarize themselves with the submission. Voting shall start on the 16th of the month. The voting representatives of those OASIS Organizational Members who were members at the beginning of the familiarization period are eligible to vote, and must cast their ballots by the end of the month.
The new rules introduce the following changes (as well as others):
· There is no longer a fixed timeline requiring submissions to be made by the 15th of the month; submissions may be made at any time.
· No
familiarization period is required prior to a vote by OASIS membership.

Subject: Re: [dita] When will the 15-day review be announced
Hi. I'm bumping this request in
hopes that I can provide the DITA TC with an outlook at our meeting coming
up later this morning. Given that the requested changes were timely effected
due to prioritized turnaround on our end, I thought it would be considerate
to get a sooner response.

And my apologies to Kim for trying
to answer too many questions at once and not paying close attention to
the matter at hand.

Hi Kristen,
Yes, that's fine since you
have the separate change log; while the blank page isn't perfect, it doesn't
harm or detract in any way.
Regards,
Mary

Hi, Kim.
1. Since
the “Revision history” was indicated as optional in the OASIS template,
we decided to omit it from our committee drafts. Therefore we do not want
to reintroduce it at this point.
2. I
can delete page 1237 from the PDF output. However, all the pages will continue
to be marked with “Page x of 1237.” I think retaining the blank page
is better.
Thoughts? I very much appreciate
your help with this matter.
Best regards,
Kris

Please make the following change:
1. Please add a 'Revision History' appendix
to this document.
2. Looking at the pdf, there is an empty
page 1237 at the end of the document. I suggest removing this.
Thank you,
Kim
