Title: RE: [courtfiling-doc] Breaking Court Document out of Court Filing

My point 
about putting the proposal in the form of a draft charter is to frame the issues 
and determine who is sponsoring and leading such a proposed TC.  This 
particular procedure is spelled out in OASIS at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#tc_formation.  This approach has 
the added benefit of having the discussion in the public domain as 
well.  If there is another procedure under OASIS, someone should put 
it on the table.

 

Our Steering committee 
is not omniscient and should be steering the work of the TC's not dictating 
what folks should do or not do.   If someone wants to run with this, 
we should encourage volunteerism and not stifle such an 
initiative.  

 

On a substantive note,  the discussion 
about locking in the presentation format that took place in eContracts went in 
the direction that distinguishes between data that people want in a smart 
structured exchange format and data that needs to be in a presentable 
format.  This allows the continuation of the blob WITH structured data but 
is can be based on the parties' agreement on what constitutes the binding 
bilateral contract.  Court Documents are unilateral and may need 
some basis other than consent. 

 

I am also 
pleased to say that I filed the final tax return for LegalXML, Inc., reporting 
that it was dissolved in 2002.  We are committed to the OASIS 
course. 

 

 Let's 
discuss the process for considering a new TC under the OASIS Rules of Procedure 
(RoP). The steering committee should discuss it, but let's use a broader forum 
and process as provided in the RoP.  If no one assembles a charter or 
we decide to go in another direction, the issues surfaced by CFTC 
and eContracts need horizontal resolution.

 

All the 
best
