Re: [opencsa-ms] Proposed - OpenCSA Steering Committee (StC) Proposed Agenda - 11 July 2008
Hi. Unfortunately I'll have to drop off the call after about 15 minutes to prepare for another meeting. Sorry.

Mark.

1. Minutes Approval  
 
        - 13 June 2008:  
        http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/download.php/28570/Open_CSA_SC_20080613_Draft.txt 
         
 
 
2. Open Action Item Review and Discussion  
         
        None: 
    
         
 
3. LSC Status: 
        Discussion around what elements would be key for high level status reporting 
        by LSC at next meeting. 
 
        Do we want to delay this until the September meeting to accommodate 
        schedules?  (i.e. what is availability of everyone for Aug 8th and  
        Sep 12th)   
 
        Is limit of 5 minutes or less appropriate for each? (This means that we 
        need to allocate about 40 minutes for the next Steering Committee agenda.) 
        Else we need to call a special meeting to allot more time for initial 
        presentation.  What would be good dates for to do this special meeting? 
 
 
 
4. Election Activity 
        Now that we have a full Steering Committee in place, we need to close on  
        a plan for closing Steering Committee elected positions        by end of July.  
 
        1.        Chair:                Re-election due by:         July 31, 2008 
        2.        Vice-Chair:        Re-election due by:                July 31, 2008 
        3.        Secretary:        Re-election due by:                July 31, 2008 
 
         
        PROPOSAL: 
        The Steering Committee Procedures indicate that these positions will be 
        filled annually.   
 
        Send nominations to the Chair and Secretary by 11:59pm EST, Wed July 16th. 
                Nominations will be for a) Chair b) Vice-Chair or b) Secretary 
                                 
                 
        If no majority is received.  Candidates with one vote or less are  
        removed from the running.  If there is one candidate remaining that 
        candidate is declared the winner.  If there are two or more candidates 
        then those candidates will be put into a run-off.  This process will 
        be repeated until one candidate is declared a winner. 
 
 
        Chair will set up balloting to open Friday July 19th and close Monday,  
          July 28th.  (Chair may delegate this to Secretary.) 
 
        Run-off (if needed) will occur July 29th - Aug 4th. 
        Second Run-off (if needed) will occur Aug 5th - Aug 7th. 
 
         
        Elected positions will be in force August 1, 2008 through July 31, 2009. 
         
         
5. Review of Steering Committee Operational Procedures 
        http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/download.php/26800/Open_CSA_SC_Operational_Procedures_V1.0.doc         
 
        This document must be reviewed for completeness and correctness a minimum 
        of every 6 months.  The last approval date was in January 2008...so it's 
        time to review, update and approve again. 
 
        PROPOSAL: Discuss the suggested changes below, then circulate document 
        for approval at next Steering Committee meeting (scheduled for 
        August 8, 2008... i.e. 08/08/08 ) 
 
 
        Suggested Updates Include: 
 
 
        1. Steering Committee Positions: 
                Fix Steering Committee Positions to indicate that Voting will be  
                done annually in July for all positions and candidates will take  
                their seats during the first meeting in August (or next meeting  
                thereafter).  Positions will be August 1 - July 31 on an annual  
                basis.  
 
        2. Regular Teleconference Processes: 
                #1 SC Teleconferences 
                Mike suggests that the Call-in information be changed to simply  
                indicate that call-in information will be provided on the OASIS  
                calendar.  This allows for the eventuality that this call-in  
                information changes for some reason over the life of the Steering  
                Committee.  Or perhaps, add a note which says something to the  
                effect... "this call-in information may change over time.  Readers  
                are advised to consult the OASIS OpenCSA calendar for actual call-in  
                information."  
 
                #4 SC Minutes 
                Currently the process states that draft minutes are produced  
                within one working day by the SC Secretary.  I would like to suggest  
                that this time be extended to 5 working days, if possible.   
                Normally this isn't a problem, but occasionally it is problematic. 
 
                This section states that meeting attendance is tracked on the  
                Calendar Entries for each SC meeting.  This requires the use of  
                the OASIS attendance tracking...for which Mike does not have 
                privileges/authority. Instead attendance tracking has been done  
                as part of the minutes since mid-November of last year.  Perhaps  
                we can change the wording to use either though, there seems to be 
                no real need to track using Kavi (i.e. minutes are adequate). 
 
        3. Inter-TC Coordination: 
                Change name of SCA Inter-TC Liaison Subcommittee to OpenCSA TC Liaison  
                SubCommittee per the updated charter approved in May of this year.  
         
        4. Quarterly Reports to OASIS Board 
                Suggest that we remove this section all-together since it is  
                likely that the Process Committee will change this rule so that 
                only Member Sections which are OASIS funded are bound by this 
                requirement. 
 
 
         
 
 
6. Any Other Business? 
        - 
 
 
7. Future SC Agenda Topics?  
        Mike to schedule the following topics for the August 08, 2008 meeting: 
 
        *  Revisit of the F2F meeting on the Agenda for July/August timeframe. 
                (from June 13, meeting) 
 
        *  Final review and approval of Steering Committee Operational Procedure  
                document. 
 
        *  Steering Committee Position Election results. 
 
        *  LSC TC Updates/Status 
         
 
8. Next Meeting  
 
           - The next regular teleconference is scheduled for August 08, 2008  
                9:00am PST, 12:00pm EST, 5:00pm UK 
 
        The Steering Committee meets the second Friday of each month throughout 2008.
