Subject: ACTION NEEDED: Vote to request UBL approval
Hello UBL TC, In the ballot just completed last night, UBL 1.0 achieved overwhelming approval from the OASIS member organizations, passing by a vote of 121 to 2. Because 2 negative votes were recorded, however, your immediate action is needed to advance UBL 1.0 to OASIS standardization in time to announce it as scheduled next week. As stated in a message earlier today from Karl Best of OASIS: The ballot for approval of UBL as an OASIS Standard has closed. The ballot received a sufficient number of affirmative votes to meet the minimum of 15% required for approval, but there were also negative votes. The TC now has 30 days to decide how to adress the negative votes; see the TC Process at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#standard [http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ubl/200411/msg00000.html] The comments received on the UBL 1.0 ballot are contained in the zip file attached below. We very much appreciate this input, which will be taken into account in the development of UBL 1.1. The two negative comments received during UBL 1.0 balloting represent disagreements over certain aspects of schema implementation that received extensive discussion during the UBL 1.0 development process; they contain no information that would cause us to reconsider the decisions arrived at as a result of that discussion. Since these comments in no way invalidate the technical accuracy of the candidate specification, the members present in today's UBL TC plenary in Santa Clara recommend that we adopt the first of the three options available to us under the OASIS process and request the OASIS TC Administration to approve the UBL 1.0 specification as submitted despite the two negative votes. In order to maintain a tightly planned schedule that will allow announcement of UBL 1.0 as an OASIS Standard on Monday 8 November, I have put this question to you through the OASIS web interface in the hope that we can achieve votes to approve from an absolute majority of the TC membership as soon as possible. Please go to the UBL TC web page at your earliest opportunity and access the "Ballots" tab to cast your vote. Jon Bosak Chair, OASIS UBL TC
