Re: [xcbf] OASIS CS ballot

I rounded incorrectly below. We will need 8 to approve and

no more than 3 to disapprove to pass CS ballot.

     As we enter the ballot period on the question of making the XCBF document

 an approved OASIS Committee Specification, a better understanding may be

 helpful. See http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/guidelines.shtml#spec_standard

 for complete information, but at this link you will find the following:

 

    From Specification to Standard   
  
   There are two levels of approval of technical work at OASIS: 

    the Committee Specification and the OASIS Standard.

    
  
   Committee Specification

    
  
   The Committee Specification is the completed and approved work of
the  TC;

     the individual members of the TC vote to approve the work at this level.
 A 

    Committee Specification is work-complete, and people and organizations
 may

     start implementing it without having to wait for OASIS Standard status,
 but the

     approval of the specification by OASIS members gives additional credence
 to

     the spec. There is no requirement that the TC also submit the Committee
 

    Specification for consideration as an OASIS Standard.

    
  
   The vote to approve the work as a Committee Specification requires 
a 2/3 vote 

    of TC members, with no more than 1/4 objecting. As with other TC decisions,
 

    this decision should minuted and posted to the mail list and web page. 
The TC 

    chair should also notify the TC Administrator so that the specification
 can be 

    added to a web page listing Committee Specifications.

     ----

 

 Given an active membership of eleven at this time, a 2/3's vote requires 
that 

 7 and 1/3 members approve, and that no more than 2 and 3/4 members

 disapprove. This means that 7 members must vote to approve and no more

 than three members vote to disapprove.

 

 I vote to approve the current document as an OASIS Committee Specification.

 So far this gives us two votes, both  in favor of approval.
