Y: Current SOUs are here: https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/StatementsOfUse/Submitted/#_trunk_StatementsOfUse_Submitted_

B: There are four already there.

Y: The only ones missing are the ones by Bryan, all the others are already there.

B: We have SOUs from TCD, Moravia, Enlaso, LRC and the ones that I submitted myself.

Y: They can be found here: https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/StatementsOfUse/Submitted/#_trunk_StatementsOfUse_Submitted_

B: we should agree now if these SOUs are enough.

FragID and xliffRoundTripTool: https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201404/msg00073.html

B: Has anybody seen anything wrong with the SOUs that have already been submitted? I do not have objections myself. I move that the TC accepts the SOUs (https://tools.oasis-open.org/version-control/browse/wsvn/xliff/trunk/StatementsOfUse/Submitted/#_trunk_StatementsOfUse_Submitted_

, https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201404/msg00076.html , https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201404/msg00073.html ) for the XLIFF Version 2.0, Committee Specification 01, 31 March 2014 (https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/xliff-version-2-0-committee-specification-01-is-published http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/cs01/xliff-core-v2.0-cs01.html ) to move forward with the standard acceptance process.

Tom: I second.

Roll call:

Yes (I agree)

Tom, Fredrik, Bryan, Lucia, Yves, Ryan, Joachim, Uwe, David Walters, Helena.

No (I disagree)

 

B: The motion passes unanimously; the SOUs will be accepted as SOUs for the current committee specification.

 

B: Several of us have already been working on applying the current specification. I am personally very confident with the proposed committee specification. Does anybody have any questions/comments on the committee specification?

Y: I have some concerns about some of the modules. Not in general, overall I think it is fine, but some of the modules have not been exercised enough.

B: That’s fair. I have had some time evaluating the modules, overall there are very sound in terms of processing requirements and schema. I have had tried the validation module, format and style, translation candidate and size restriction. But it is true that the modules have not been tested to every single feature.

B: Does anybody has any concern about the modules that is strong enough that would impede the CS to be approved?

ALL: no answer.

B: Has anybody had problems implementing the schemas?

All: no answer.

B: Has anybody seen any processing requirement that is contradictory of cannot be validated?

All: no answer.

B: Can you think of anything else that need to be discussed before moving to the ballot itself?

All: no answer.

B: I move to approve the Chair requesting that TC Administration hold a Special Majority Vote to approve submitting XLIFF 2.0, Committee Specification (XLIFF Version 2.0, Committee Specification 01, 31 March 2014 (https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/xliff-version-2-0-committee-specification-01-is-published http://docs.oasis-open.org/xliff/xliff-core/v2.0/cs01/xliff-core-v2.0-cs01.html )) as a candidate OASIS standard.

Y: I second

Roll call

Yes (I agree)

Helena, Tom, Fredrik, Lucia, Ryan, Yves, Bryan, Joachim, Uwe, David Walters.

No (I disagree)

 

B: the motion passes unanimously.

B: Thank you, we are now ready to move to the next steps.

 

B: Based on our previous experience, there is a lot of work for the officers in the next 60 days. We need to make sure that we have enough votes; we will have to start asking representatives of their companies to vote.

B: Time line: We had envisaged the 9 of June to have the standard process. We are a month later than what we anticipated. The voting will take place between mid-June and mid-July, which would also be good because we could meet voters in the symposium and remind them about the voting process.

B: We can reduce meeting frequency back down to 1/month during OASIS Standard activity. What do you think? We can go back to our regular twice a month after that process.

F: I think it sounds reasonable.

J: I agree. Other standards do not meet that often..

H: Once a month until XLIFF 2.x work.

B: Does it anybody fears about this decision? That it will compress too much the work?

All: no answer.

B: Rather than vote on this today, I will send an email with a call for dissent. So everybody will have time to think about it and its consequences.

 

Sub Committee Report

B: David is not here today, and I have not seen any call for a meeting today. Does anybody want to elaborate on the work done by SC report?

Y: I think you summarized it well: symposium taking place, the questionnaire.

B: Lucia, can you elaborate on the questionnaire?

L: At the moment is it only designed for the SOUs, but the plan is to expand it once we finish collecting them to the general public. We will discuss the future of the survey in the next SC meeting.

B: the symposium will take place in Dublin in June, several of us will attend and/or present. The registration is already open. There are some good presentations that I am looking forward to seeing. We will hopefully get some feedback from the community. Any questions for the Subcommittee?

B: New business? Meeting adjourned. Thank you everybody.
