Mary,

Thanks for the clarification.  In
doing a quick re-read of our charter, it seems that it is quiet on the
topic of profiles, so it's unclear whether this is expanding the scope
of work or not.  Minimally. profile governance work may extend the
anticipated time commitments of some of the TC members.

Hi Bruce,

  That's not quite true. A TC doesn't cease its work
until it has either agreed to dissolve or until it finishes the work items
described in the Charter. Most TCs continue to update that list of work
items as time processes and further refinements/enhancements/additions/modifications/etc
are deemed appropriate. The only thing a TC cannot do is expand its scope
of work. Most TCs produce multiple iterations of a spec (v1.0, v1.1, v.1.2,
v2.0), profiles, and other ancillary works in support of the specs themselves.

Regards,

Mary

Overall, I like the proposal. 

However, I think one key provision that will be problematic with this proposal
is Section 13.3. 

In general, there are no standing committees at OASIS.  Once a standard
is completed, the TCs cease their work.  So I'm not sure how one would
get a profile approved when the TC has dissolved.  And since this
seems to be the engine that drives this mechanism, I'm not sure where that
leaves us.
