RE: [office] Proposal: Align IS 26300 to ODF 1.1 instead of 1.0 maintenance

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

Rob,

I need a couple of clarifications for my understanding, please.  (OH. And I
meant WG6.  I must have been reading too many tweets about a WG4 call being
held today.)

I don't understand the technicalities about subdivision.  What is a
subdivision and why would we need to ask for one?  Also, why would we need a
New Work Item (NP) at JTC1, with 90-day ballot for that?

Finally, you mention, in later note
<http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/201001/msg00082.html>, having
(the?) 3 months for Patrick to have the work done by throwing ODF 1.1 over
the wall, then running to the JTC1 side and catching it as WG6 Project
Editor.  Is that an essential 3 months or is it tied to the 90-day NP ballot
that you've mentioned and/or the time remaining until the WG6 face-to-face
and SC34 plenary in Stockholm?

 - Dennis

PS: I wonder if it is now possible to have ODF 1.1 and any DIFF, as needed,
submitted to SC34 enough in advance to have it available for moving forward
by WG6 and the subsequent SC34 plenary in Stockholm.

Two ways of doing it:  Submit an NP (new work item) to JTC1 and let them 
do a ballot on that.  Or request a subdivision at the SC Plenary.  The 
time is around the same either way, since the ballot is 3-months and the 
plenary is three months away.
