  Liaison Committee Charter - FINAL

  

Dear SCA Technical 
  Committees 

The OpenCSA Steering 
  Committee (SC) has approved the charter of an Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee 
  (LC) as the official forum for discussion of common issues that cross SCA TC 
  boundaries. The full text of the charter is below. On behalf of the Steering 
  Committee, can I request that each SCA TC nominates at least one 
  representative to serve on the LC by next Friday, October 26th. The SC will 
  also appoint a representative by that date and he will convene the inaugural 
  meeting as soon as practical. Please send your nominated name(s) to the 
  <opencsa-ms> mailing list.

            [opencsa-ms] Inter-SCA TC Liaison 
              Committee Charter - FINAL

        
          
          

            
            

OpenCSA Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee (LC) 2007-19-2007

The 
  OpenCSA Inter-SCA TC Liaison Committee is chartered to provide an 
   
official forum for the discussion by the TCs of common issues that 
   
cross SCA TC boundaries. Its membership shall consist of 
   
representatives from each SCA TC (at least one from each TC), 
  OpenCSA  
Steering Committee members, and possibly other invited TC 
  members.  
The OpenCSA SC shall appoint the members for one-year 
  renewable  
terms. Each SCA TC shall recommend to the SC at least one 
  member to  
represent itself on the LC.

The actual composition 
  and number is flexible in order to accommodate  
changing needs and 
  requirements. However each SCA TC should have at  
least one TC member 
  to represent its interests and to assure reliable  
communications. It 
  is also contemplated that the SC should also have  
at least one of 
  its members serving to ensure a reliable  
communication channel 
  between the SC and the Committee.

All of the Committee's work shall be 
  visible to the public (i.e. all  
documents, email archives, agenda, 
  discussions, shall be publicly  
viewable). The Committee, as its 
  first order of business shall elect  
a Chair. In the absence of such 
  an elected Chair the SC member shall  
serve as a pro tem chair until 
  such time as the Committee can elect  
one. LC meetings, 
  (teleconference and/or face to face) shall be  
posted in advance. The 
  meetings shall be open to other MS and TC  
members as observers. 
  Observers may participate in meetings at the  
discretion of the 
  chair. Any eligible OASIS member may subscribe to  
the LC mail list 
  and post to it. The LC may use whatever tools seem  
appropriate to 
  organizing its work, provided they meet the above  
criteria of public 
  visibility and are approved by OASIS.

The purpose of the LC is to 
  provide a forum for the discussion of  
common issues that cut across 
  the SCA TCs. The LC is not a decision  
making body in the sense that 
  is only empowered to make  
recommendations to the appropriate TCs or 
  SC. All of its  
recommendations are non-binding and advisory. The LC 
  must not  
disenfranchise the role and responsibilities of the TCs in 
  technical  
discussions.

The LC will not discuss issues which 
  are the sole purview of any  
single TC. The LC will only work on 
  issues passed to it by requests  
made to it by the SC or other TCs 
  with the view towards making timely  
recommendations. The LC may 
  re-discuss an issue should a  
recommendation be rejected by one or 
  more TCs.

The kinds of activities within its scope are:
  
   the discussion of common process issues,
   the tracking 
  (not resolution of) of cross TC technical issues to  
make sure the 
  designated TC liaisons are aware of them and that the  
relevant TCs 
  take appropriate action,
   the making recommendations to the SC 
  of other actions it might  
take to improve coordination of the work 
  of the OpenCSA TCs.

    Contemplated areas where liaison will 
  almost certainly be  
required are exemplified by start-up issues 
  (naming, versioning,  
logistics), test suite issues that cross TCs, 
  logistics (e.g.  
scheduling face-to-face meetings), and close-down 
  issues (scheduling,  
exit criteria, 
  etc.)
