[humanmarkup] Voting Mailing List and Notes on discussions

[Rex Brooks <rexb@starbourne.com>]

Hi Everyone,

First: The mailing list for discussions related to voting on the 
first working draft of the Primary Base Schema is:

humanmarkup@lists.oasis-open.org, cognite@zianet.com, 
clbullar@ingr.com, kurt@kurtcagle.net, mbatsis@netsmart.gr

Please either copy it and keep it handy, or save this message 
separately in a place on your computers where you will remember it.

For Manos: I am sending this message to this list instead of asking 
you to read the minutes to learn about our decisions concerning this 
phase of the process because I don't know for certain when I will get 
the minutes out this month. I am going to work on the specification 
from this afternoon until I finish the first working draft. It will 
be interesting to note how often I break to collapse and sleep until 
I decide it is ready to submit to you all.

We have decided to conduct our discussions of the first working draft 
of the specification on this list only until we vote on it as an 
official TC specification and then announce the release of it for the 
30 days minmum of public discussion. That public discussion is not 
only to be announced to OASIS but outside as well, and all discussion 
of the spec for that 30-day period takes place on the 
public-discussion list. Thenh we make any further changes that the 
voting TC members deem necessary, and vote to send it on to OASIS for 
the second phase of approval by the OASIS-wide process or for another 
30-day period of public discussion.

However, this is a reminder that until I send out the first draft of 
the Primary Base Schema. our discussions on the new elements and 
attributeGroup will continue on the public-comment list.

We currently have: thought and  belief open, (and any others to which 
anyone wants to add remarks and comments), and intent will follow 
sometime today. We basically decided that a new attributeGroup, 
humlCommAtts will be added, replacing humlIdentifierAtts in elements 
where it is clear that the elements are related to communications 
while humlIdentifierAtts relate to human characteristics.

We eagerly await the shortest, most precise definitions we can come 
up with for semiote and referrant, which, with belief and intent and 
humanGroup comprise the remainder of the full specification elements.

Ciao,
Rex
