2. WHAT IS A COMMITTEE LAST
CALL?

 

The purpose of the committee
Last Call process is to ensure that the committee has reached consensus on the
documents comprising the specification set, believes that all the known
outstanding issues have been addressed, and is ready to vote on declaring the
documents as "Committee Specifications" in preparation for submission
to OASIS-wide review.

 

During the Last Call period,
all comments on the documents are collected and discussed on the mailing lists.

 

 

3. HOW LONG DOES IT LAST?

 

The Last Call starts Monday
 05-May-2003. It will last for two weeks
and end on Friday, 16-May-2003, the "Last Call cut-off date". While
the committee always attempts to consider input from the industry, comments
received after the cut-off date cannot be guaranteed to be addressed by the TC
before the specs are moved forward as Committee Specifications?
