Mary,
Thanks for this information. What
about appointing a chair? Can the subcommittee do that itself, or
should this be done by the main TC where formal voting can happen?
One approach that could work is to treat
the election of a subcommittee chair like everything else the subcommittee
does... have them bring forward a recommended name or names to the main
TC which would make the formal appointment. Is this a good approach?

RE: New Sub-Committee of the SCA-J TC
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?

RE: New Sub-Committee of the SCA-J TC
Hi everyone,
The subcommittee has now been created – go to the subcommittee
home page to join:
http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-j-jee/
I’ll need to add the chair privileges to whomever is taking that role.
Just let me know.
Regards,
Mary

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.
