template for white papers

I apologize that we've been slow to recommend an intermediate
template, between the posted informal "white paper" template at
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/OASISTCWhitePaper.dot
and the official specification templates
(e.g.http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/OASISSpecificationTemplateV3.2.ott)
posted at our templates page
http://docs.oasis-open.org/templates/

Our prior conversations suggested that some of the TC's white paper(s)
may be put through the official specification process, at least to
Committee Draft or Public Review level, so that a middle ground may
need to be struck between the two.  I have an internal markup of the
formal spec template, marked to remove some elements that apparently
are not needed for a white paper, which should be internally OK'd and
posted to you during the day today, and I hope will be adequate to
your needs. Of course, my colleague Mary McRae, as our TC
Administrator, is the ultimate authority here.

Kind regards  Jamie
