Re: format for errata?
Sure. The steps to do that are explained here -> https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/tcadmin/approving-a-committee-specification-or-note-draft-with-non-material-changes 

Here are the key steps: 

- Use cs01, your last approved publication, to produce a new working draft that incorporate the non-material changes. Keep a log of the changes that you make (a red-lined version of the spec works fine for that purpose). 

- Pass a motion to request that a Special Majority Vote be held to approve that working draft as a Committee Specification.  The specific wording you can use should be in the instructions. 

- Then I hold the Special Majority Vote and, because it is being done with Non-Material Changes, alert the OASIS membership of the vote. So long as no one objects to the changes being deemed non-material - and no one ever has - once the ballot passes, I publish your CS02. 

Have a look at the instructions and let me know if you have questions on any of it.

Formally speaking:

        If only Non-Material Changes are made to the draft after the public

        review, whether as a result of public review comments or from TC Member

        input, then the TC may proceed with the approval as a Committee

        Specification in accordance with Section 3.3 without conducting another

        public review cycle.

Specifically, we would like to put up a draft for v1.0-cs02,

with only non-material changes as compared to the latest draft

v1.0-csprd01 that went through public review, then request a Special

Majority Vote for the advancement of that draft as a Committee

Specification.

Informally speaking, we are talking about correcting some

typos and making minor editorial changes.

It seems a waste to do a public review just for that.

Pls let us know.
