Subject: RE: [uddi-spec] Transition Approval Ballot for UDDI Spec TC
Jamie: Anything else to report to the TC on this matter? Thanks -- Luc Luc Clément | Program Director | Systinet Corporation | Co-Chair OASIS UDDI TC One van de Graaff Drive Burlington, MA 01803 Phone +1 781.362.1330 | Mobile +1 978.793.2162 | Fax +1 781.362.1400 | -----Original Message----- From: James Bryce Clark [mailto:jamie.clark@oasis-open.org] Sent: Thursday, August 18, 2005 19:27 To: uddi-spec@lists.oasis-open.org Cc: patrick.gannon@oasis-open.org; mary.mcrae@oasis-open.org Subject: [uddi-spec] Transition Approval Ballot for UDDI Spec TC I had hoped by now to start the web-based ballot for confirmation of the TC's request to transition to the current IPR Policy and the "RF on RAND Terms" Mode. Our IPR Transition Policy instructs me to open a "Transition Approval Ballot" after the TC has voted (as you did on 26 July) to initiate a conversion. However, there's some ambiguity in the information we've provided to members about when this is done and who votes. The FAQ circulated about IPR Transition [1] says that organizational members who haven't signed the current membership agreement [2] cannot vote in the approval ballot. It also says that I should wait 30 days after your TC vote, before opening the ballot, presumably to give un-signed members a chance to "sign up" and thus vote. However, the rule text itself [3] does not reflect that 30 day period or limitation. Several members have asked, and I'm concerned that there may be some confusion. Accordingly, I have asked our Board for clarification of its intent, and would like to postpone the beginning of the TC's approval ballot for a short time, in order to obtain it. If the 30 day rule applies, we could not begin the ballot any earlier than 26 August in any case, and I hope to have this clear by then. Our apologies for the delay; I hope you agree that it is preferable to discovering that the rule is incorrect in mid-ballot and having to close and re-start it.
