[chairs] pre-Public Review call with
TC, Editors

On a few occasions, Chairs have requested that I attend
a TC conference call to explain the process from Public Review

submission through OASIS Standard announcement. I would like to make all
chairs aware that I am more than happy to do

this. There have been a few changes to the Process that recently went into
effect that impact the documents themselves

as well as the submission process and timeline. All I ask for is sufficient
notice to ensure that I don't have any

scheduling conflicts. Additionally, as you or your editors are preparing
your specification documents, I'm more than

happy to review with them the requirements for template conformance, naming
and metadata rules, namespaces, and any

other questions/concerns they may have. This tends to eliminate much of
the frustration that is usually experienced - on

my part as well as that of the editors - when I reject a submission for
non-conformance.

 

A new list has been created specifically for editors; you can subscribe
by sending a message to:

. This is a read-only list; the
purpose will be to provide notices of updates

to the templates, new tools, tips, and other hopefully useful information
to those responsible for creation and

maintenance of TC specifications and associated documents.

 

For those attending the Symposium, there will be a new tutorial (Sunday
afternoon) for editors as well as the usual

chairs session. I strongly encourage everyone to attend; materials will
be made available online.

 

Regards,

 

Mary
