Hi Simon,
The reason behind the creation of subcommittees is that
smaller groups of individuals could get together and work. There are no voting
rights or attendance requirements associated with subcommittees – only a
group of participants who meet the requirements (they are members of the main
technical committee). Each member should be treated equally. Subcommittees can’t
actually make any decisions whatsoever – the intent is that they would
produce something (a work item, an analysis, a draft, a recommendation, etc.) and
then deliver it to the main TC for discussion, further recommendations and approval.
That said, I would suggest that given the particular
description below the subcommittee, when making reports to the TC,
provide both majority/minority or pro/con opinions – that way the TC will
have all the information it needs before voting.
Regards,
Mary

Mary,
Thanks for
doing this.
The TC would
appreciate clarification on the correct procedures that the subcommittee should
use for making decisions. The first such decision will be appointing a
chair. After that, the subcommittee will prepare technical
recommendations and bring them before the TC as input to binding decisions that
the TC will make. If the members of the subcommittee don't agree
unanimously on who should be chair or what recommendations to make to the TC,
how should disagreements be resolved? Should a vote be taken on a
subcommittee call, with all members of the subcommittee having equal voting
rights? Or should only those subcommittee members who are voting members
of the TC be eligible to vote?

Mary,
The SCA-J TC has formally resolved to create a Sub-Committee to focus on the
SCA JAVA EE specification, whose charter is to draft new issues for SCA JAVA
EE, draft proposals to said issues, bring issues and proposals to the TC for
decision, and edit TC approved proposals to said issues. This
Sub-Committee will be known as the JEE Sub-Committee (JEESC). Please can
you create this Sub-Committee. Many thanks.
