ADVANCING THE EML STANDARD

We have discussed at 
the last couple of TC meetings the possibility of advancing EML from its 
current status of a Committee Draft to a full OASIS Standard and possibly 
eventually to an ISO standard.  To do that there are a number of steps we 
have to take.

 

1.  First we 
have to move from our current Committee Draft status to Committee 
Specification.  This initially requires a full public review of the 
draft and we need a TC vote to undertake that step. Any comments received from 
the public review have to be addressed before there is a further TC 
vote to move it to a Committee Specification.  

 

2.  Following 
1. above we can then vote to go to full OASIS Standard.  The Committee Spec 
is then put to vote by the entire OASIS membership and we require a 15% 
vote in favour to achieve the full Standard status.

 

3.  We can then 
use the OASIS/ISO liaison to advance the Standard into 
ISO.

 

So first things 
first, we need to do 1 above and I'll set up that vote later today so 
please watch out for the notification and vote.
