Subject: Selection of TC representative to Legal XML Member Section Steering Committee




From: "John Greacen" <>
To: "Electronic Court Filing Technical Committeee" <>
Date: Mon, 7 Apr 2003 08:49:10 -0600














During our Atlanta face to face
meeting, we will choose our representative to the Legal XML Member Section
Steering Committee.

 

A bit of background is in order.  The Legal XML member
section currently has eight TCs.  They are:

 

Electronic Court Filing

eContracts

Integrated Justice

Lawful Intercept

Legislative

eNotary

Online Dispute Resolution

Transcripts

 

To my knowledge, the only TC that has yet produced a
specification is Electronic Court Filing.  We have produced four –
Court Filing 1.0 and 1.1, Court Document 1.1, and Query and Response.  All
of our specifications to date have been DTDs.

 

The Member Section Steering Committee is responsible for establishing
policies that would apply across all of the Legal XML TCs, including horizontal
elements if any.  It is responsible for planning to enhance the
effectiveness of existing TCs, identify the need for additional TCs, increase
Member Section membership, and increase the visibility of our specifications. 
It represents the TCs with OASIS.  It is responsible for allocating and administering
our revenues.  We currently have roughly $15,000 in reserves and are
realizing more than $2000 per month in new revenue.  The Steering
Committee’s only expenditures to date have been to support conference
calling capability available to all TCs.

 

The current Steering Committee consists of the members of
the Board of Directors of Legal XML, Inc. who remain active in the organization. 
The Committee has devised, and OASIS has approved, a more representative
process for choosing the Steering Committee.  Each TC will choose a
representative.  Those members will be able to create up to three
additional at large Steering Committee positions, based upon their assessment
of the representativeness of the TC choices and the needs of the Member Section. 
The at-large positions will be filled by vote of the entire Member Section
membership.

 

I propose that the Electronic Court Filing TC proceed as
follows:

 

We will receive nominations for our representative beginning
today, and ending during the first conference call on Thursday, April 14th. 
We will then vote on the nominations during the second conference call, Friday,
April 15th.  Persons not able to participate in that conference
call may vote on the list, provided they register their vote before the
beginning of the second conference call – which is scheduled for noon Eastern time
on Friday, April 15th.  

 

TC members may nominate themselves.

 

Nominations should include the nominee’s
qualifications to serve as our Steering Committee member.

 

Although I will do so if it is the will of the TC membership
that I continue, I would prefer not to serve on the new Member Section Steering
Committee.  I have spent over two years in the assignment; they have been two
difficult years; I feel that I have made my contribution and that it is time to
involve new blood and new perspectives in the leadership of the Member Section.

 

Please let me know if anyone objects to this proposed
procedure or has any suggested improvements to it.
