RE: [sca-j] RE: New Sub-Committee of the SCA-J TC

Hi again,

 

  Oftentimes it’s included in the proposal for the subcommittee –
I don’t see any harm in the SC determining who the chair should be and then
just notifying the TC – unless there’s a plethora of folks all volunteering for
the chair position ;-) 

 

Regards,

 

Mary

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?

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?

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.
