[xcbf] XCBF Committee Specification Approved

The January 20 version of our document has now been approved as 

an OASIS Committee Specification with a YES vote from eight of 

eleven eligible members, no votes against approval, and none abstaining.

I have updated the XCBF web page with the CS document and a notice

of our reaching this important milestone.

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.
