[legalxml-transcripts] Meeting of the OASIS LegalXML Transcript TC -5:00 pm USA EST of Tuesday 15th October

Dear 
Transcript TC participants,

 

Firstly, welcome to the 
Transcripts TC of Oasis LegalXML!

 

As members of the Transcript TC I will assume that 
everyone on this list sees the benefit of a unified Transcript standard. Please 
join with me in encouraging any associations, companies or individuals to join 
the list and help us develop a useful standard. Details for joining can be 
found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/join/

 

I'm pleased to announce that Chad 
Theriot and Betty Harvey will be joining the Transcripts TC 
leadership team. Chad and Betty 
have excellent experience which is demonstrated in the attached personal 
BIOS.

 

The OASIS LegalXML Transcript 
TC web pages can be found at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalxml-transcripts/

 

As a general 
rule most activity will take place on the list but a "virtual" face-to-face will 
be a valuable way to start the group. So we are planning a 
telephone conference meeting at 5:00 
pm USA EST of Tuesday 15th October to "kick start" the groups 
activity.

 

Setting a time has been very difficult and many people will not be 
able to attend the call direct so I encourage you all to contribute to the 
agenda via the list or directly. My 
apologies if the date and time are inconvenient for you but please don't worry 
if you can't make the meeting your contributions to the development of a 
transcript standard can be managed via the list discussions. Minutes 

 

There are a number of items that should be 
discussed at the meeting but in order to have a manageable meeting I propose we 
start by discussing, with the view to agreeing,  the scope of the 
Transcripts TC as follows:

 

Draft Agenda:

  
The Transcripts TC Charter http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/legalxml-transcripts/charter.shtml review:

Purpose, 
    
Requirements, 
    
Constraints,

Meeting Dates.

  
General structure and responsibilities 
  should also be reviewed.

Please feel free to suggest other agenda 
items but be aware of the time issues. I propose we set a one hour meeting for 
this first date.

 

There are a few reference document on the TC 
site including the archived Draft Standard DTD http://www.legalxml.org/archives/Transcripts/WD_10002.htm
