RE: [ebcore] Initial Working Draft level starter document for Receipt and Delivery Notifications Version 1.0

Hello,

 

I have tried to use the new CND template,  but in 
the process of doing so I found this new non-standards track has severe 
limitations.  I wrote about this to several people and ended up posting an 
email to the OASIS Board:

 

http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/oasis-board-comment/201108/msg00011.html

 

I'll see what the response to it will be.   One 
option is to reposition the document as a technical specification. (After all, 
there is no requirement that an OASIS spec has a least one MUST or SHOULD). 
Other suggestions are welcome.

Initial Working Draft level starter document for Receipt and Delivery 
Notifications Version 1.0

Hello,

 

My intention was to reformat my private draft using the 
new CN template,  but due to an issue with the template I cannot use it 
right now. As today was basically the only day I could work on 
this before our TC meeting next week,  I am sending my private draft (which 
used the template based on the CS template) to the list.  Any future 
work can be done using the CN template,  once it is ready for 
use.

 

As a reminder, I initially wrote this document as 
background documentation for some end user communities that are working on 
document exchange protocols,  but it could be more generally 
useful.

Initial Working Draft level starter document for Receipt and Delivery 
Notifications Version 1.0

Per 
the TC's submission request [1], please find the
attached starter document 
for:

Receipt and Delivery Notifications Version 1.0
WP-abbrev: 
rdn

The expected URI pattern:

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ebcore/rdn/v1.0/cnd01/rdn-v1.0-cnd01.odt

This 
is the first instance in which this Non-Standards Track Work 
Product 
template has 
been constructed in the OpenOffice Writer ODT format, 
and I would like 
to hear about any issues you may encounter with it.
Please let me know if 
anything here fails to meet your expectations.

Further revisions to this 
Work Product must be maintained
in Working Drafts, following procedures 
detailed in the TC
Handbook [2].

Working Drafts should be made 
available by uploading the
document(s) to the TC's Kavi document repository, 
or
(provisionally/temporarily) to the TC's Subversion (SVN)
repository, if 
SVN has been activated for your TC [3].  TCs
are encouraged to use ZIP 
packaging when the WD releases
contain multiple files (and 
directories).

For each WD revision, you will need to:

1) increment 
the Working Draft revision (number) from 01 to 02, 03,
04 etc., as successive 
Working Drafts are produced; the revision
number needs to be updated at the 
top of the document in the
stage identifier (Working Draft ##) and in the 
document identifier
within the page footer.

2) supply the relevant 
publication/release/upload date for each
successive Working Draft instance, 
using the  prescribed date
format: DD Month YYYY; the date needs to be 
updated at the
top of the document (just below the stage identifier, 
Working
Draft ##) and in the page footer.

3) provide suitable text for 
a document Abstract, updating this
summary with successive revisions to 
provide an accurate
description of the subject matter, goals, scope, 
etc.

4) keep the Acknowledgments (Appendix A) and Revision
History 
(Appendix C) up-to-date with each WD revision.

5) consult the OASIS 
Naming Directives document when
creating new artifacts that may be part of 
the Work Product
(e.g., image files, XML schemas), observing the rules 
for
name characters in files and proposed directories, and for
proposed 
URIs/namespaces [4].

When the TC votes [5] to approve a Working Draft as 
a
Committee Draft (CSD or CND), the Chair or other designated
person must 
submit a "Committee Specification Draft Creation
and Upload Request" 
accessible on the TC Administration
Requests Page [6].  Upon receipt of 
this form, the TC
Administrator will QC and process the Work Product 
for
official publication in the OASIS Library as a Committee Draft
(http://docs.oasis-open.org/), including addition of 
the
requisite cover page metadata and other boilerplate
information, as 
described in the TC Handbook. [7]
