To what extent shall committees be allowed to revisit their charters and/or requirements? MI 4. Does a transferred associate membership automatically confer committee membership upon the transferee? MI 5. Can a request for action by OASIS come directly from an outside organization, or must it always be submitted on behalf of that organization by one or more OASIS members? MI 6. Does OASIS standardization of a collaborative effort require a formal vote of all the collaborating organizations? MI 7. What is the vote in a committee required for the approval of a technical specification? MT 8. Shall co-chairs be provided for in the process? If so, shall their number be limited? MT 9. What kind of contact information shall be required for the members named in a TC charter? MT 10. [how to conduct an email vote] [how to make a formal motion by email] MT 11. [revisit participation by phone] MT 12. [specification editors] MT 13. Removing an obnoxious or obstructive member (Review Robert's to see if we need to change/amend) MT 14. The board appoints a TC, but when the board expires, the TCs continue; i.e., TCs do not need to be reinitialized by the board. [I'm taking this now as meaning that the bylaws should specifically state that a TC doesn't time out coincident with the re-election of the board.] Although TCs exist year to year, their subcommittees do not. Subcommittees must be reconstituted annually by their committee. [I don't think that the preceding two sentences apply any more.] If a committee dies, its subcommittees die with it. MT 15. Leave of absence by chair, length of term, chair pro tem, related issues. MT 16. Must minutes of TC meetings be published to the TC mailing list? (The answer is yes, but I don't think we've captured this anywhere yet.) MT 17. Revisit the question of what constitutes a session. (From RROR: "When a committee adjourns without appointing a time for the next meeting, it is considered as having adjourned at the call of the chair, so that all the meetings of a special committee constitute one session.") MT 18. Address the issue of reconsideration in a committee. This is related to MT 17. RRO says that a committee can always reconsider a previous resolution, but in RRO (see RRO9 p. 323 ff.), standing committees time out periodically and special committees are presumed to time out when they have created the deliverable they were asked for. Do we want to continue the RRO model of allowing a committee to entertain an indefinite number of motions to reconsider? An alternative is to put reconsideration under the same rules as for a general assembly (RRO9 p. 77 item 4). Bear in mind that a TC will always have available the motion to Rescind and the motion to Amend Something Previously Adopted. MT 19. TCs should be empowered to recommend the solicitation of funds from their members and to advise the board on the disbursement of such funds. MT 20. (Late suggestion for CS 3-5) Remove "for administrative reasons" from CS 5 (T. Usdin).
