RE: [office-accessibility] Requested editorial change to Appendix E in the ODF 1.1 specification
Our SLAs say that we'll announce a public review within 5 
business days of receipt - as long as the requirements are met. Typically I get 
them done much more quickly, and next week OASIS is having a week-long 
face-to-face meeting in Billerica (Boston) so I'm trying to get any 
announcements done before then. 

 

Regards,

 

Mary

Peter, Mary,

I was under the impression that we had until Monday, 
  but if it means missing the timeline then we will put this in the 60 day 
  comments and address it then. I do not want to hold up the 60 day public 
  review for this. 

Best Regards,
Rich

Hi 
  Mary,

The change we would like to make is a small clarification change 
  in the 
non-normative portion of the document - Appendix 
  E.

Separately from Michael (who I believe has left work for the day in 
  
Germany) I understand that if the document doesn't go out today, we miss 
  
our timeline.

I believe this change can be made within the 60 day 
  public review (as an 
editorial change, especially as it is 
  non-normative).

So, I suggest you do NOT delay, but go ahead with PR 
  this afternoon.

Rich - is this acceptable to 
  you?

Peter
