>        4. A clear English-language summary of the specification;
> 
> TC Chair: (proposed) This Reference Model for Service Oriented
> Architecture
> is an abstract model for understanding significant entities and
> relationships between them within a service-oriented environment, and for
> the development of consistent standards or specifications supporting that
> environment. It is based on unifying concepts of SOA and may be used by
> architects developing specific service oriented architectures or in
> training
> and explaining SOA.
> 
> Due to its' abstract nature, this reference model is not directly tied to
> any standards, technologies or other concrete implementation details. It
> provides a common semantics that can be used unambiguously across and
> between different implementations.
> 
> While service-orientation may be a popular concept found in a broad
> variety
> of applications, this reference model focuses on the field of software
> architecture. The concepts and relationships described may apply to other
> "service" environments; however, this specification makes no attempt to
> completely account for use outside of the software domain.
> 
> 
>        5. A statement regarding the relationship of this specification to
> similar work of other OASIS TCs or other standards developing
> organizations;
> 
> TC Chair: (Proposed) This work is abstract in nature and meant to be used
> as
> a template by those who architect SOA.  Accordingly, it would be relevant
> to
> most SOA activities including the Web Service technology family, any XML
> based language that may be used within an SOA, W3C specifications for Web
> Services including WSDL and WS-Policy work and other software architecture
> practices and standards.  It will likely be of interest to ISO, IEEE,
> IETF,
> W3C, UN/CEFACT, AIAG, AIA, the Ontolog Forum, Open Group and many other
> standards organizations.
> 
>        6. Certification by at least three OASIS member organizations that
> they are successfully using the specification;
> 
> TC Chair: TBD - we require this.  To certify such, please send an email to
> the general SOA RM list stating the name of your organization, that you
> are
> using the Reference Model as a guide for architecture with success and
> your
> name and company name.  This is for OASIS Member Organizations only and we
> require at least 3.
> 
>        7. 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;
> 
> TC Chair: There were two Full Public Reviews that happened.
> 
> The first public review towards becoming a Committee Specification
> occurred
> between 13 February 2006, and ends 14 April 2006. The accouncement may be
> found here:
> http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200602/msg00013.html
> 
> The second public review towards becoming a Committee Specification
> occurred
> 5 June 2006 to 20 June 2006.  The announcement may be found here:

> 
> Under the "issues" folder.  They are expressed in Microsoft Excel
> Spreadsheet format along with a resolution for each and every comment
> submitted.  To our knowledge, there are no outstanding disagreements with
> the resolutions for any comment.
> 
>        8. 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;
>

>        9.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;
> 
> TC Chair: This is the first time the RM for SOA has been forwarded as a
> candidate for OASIS Standard, hence there are no pointers available.
> 
>       10. A pointer to the publicly visible comments archive for the
> originating TC;
> 
> TC Chair:
> 
> The publicly visible comments archive is available at:

>       11.A pointer to any minority reports submitted by one or more
> Members

> 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.

> TC Chair: I hereby certify that no minority reports exist.
