Hi Karl / John / Don et al,

In line with the approach set out by OASIS I understand that the
timeframe for establishing the Transcripts TC is approaching. 

Background: The Charter for the group is in place and there is already a
draft transcript standard. 

I have polled the community who are subscribed to the Transcript
discussion list and have had some significant positive feedback on
establishing a forum for the creation of a transcript standard.

I have also approached two of the National governing bodies for
transcript production - National Court Reporters Association (NCRA) and
also the National Verbatim Reporters Association (NVRA) - for their
support. The holiday season has certainly had an effect on their ability
to respond.

However, no prospective TC leader has come forward and, as stated
previously, I'm unable to commit the considerable amount of time to
continue this effort alone although I'm prepared to contribute to any
standard. 

Assessment: I'm convinced, and it appears that many others also agree,
that a transcript standard is appropriate to the needs of the legal
community. 

Option 1: There has been some discussion that Court Transcripts could be
part of the Court eFiling TC. This makes some sense and may be a better
place for this work to take place although John Greacen would need to
poll his community to approve this. Therefore, I suggest that John's
group be polled to see if this is a suitable forum to progress
transcripts.

Option 2: We suspend this effort until a later date.

Option 3: Oasis leave the Discussion List open for an extended period to
allow the community to decide whether it wants to establish a
Transcripts TC.

BTW: The holiday season has had some effect on the ability to confirm
this proposed TC. Ironically, as of Friday I'm away in Europe and
Australia on business and vacation for next 5 weeks but will be picking
up my email.

Cordially,

Eddie
