Hi
Bryan,
Yes – you need to make
the formal submission per the TC Process! That is, send me an email with each
of the items as outlined in the TC Process section 3.4: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#s3.4
Thanks J
Mary

Hi
Mary,
Thank
you very much for this reminder. In my mind there are no more steps for
the TC or officers to take to make this ballot commence on time. Or am I
foolishly overlooking something (it wouldn't be the first time)?
I
think you were going to update the titles on the representation guides, and
put them in the appropriate URLs.
Everything
else is in place, I think. We've been tracking all of the requirements
on our wiki
(http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/RemainingApprovalSteps).
Specs

Is
there something in my court that I need to do to meet our goal?
Thanks,
Bryan

Note
from Rodolfo: The representation guides that we have still say "Public Review

yet.
Note
from Bryan: I did not include our FAQ, Whitepaper, or articles. I think we can
use these as leverage to help persuade members to vote, down the line, but I
do not consider them part of the core.

(d) A
clear English-language summary of the specification
The
XLIFF 1.2 Specification defines the XML Localization Interchange File Format
(XLIFF). The purpose of this vocabulary is to store localizable data and carry
it from one step of the localization process to the other, while allowing
interoperability between tools.
The
specification is tool-neutral, supports the entire localization process, and
supports common software, document data formats, and mark-up languages. The
specification provides an extensibility mechanism to allow the development of
tools compatible with an implementer's data formats and workflow requirements.
The extensibility mechanism provides controlled inclusion of information not
defined in the specification.
(e)
Statement of the relationship of this specification to similar work of other
OASIS TCs or other standards developing organizations
·
XLIFF
is an XML-based vocabulary (http://www.w3.org/XML/).
·
XLIFF
is represented in the DITA Translation Subcommittee, and will be featured in a
translation best practices document (http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/tc_home.php?wg_abbrev=dita-translation).
·
XLIFF
has a working relationship with LISA/OSCAR standards related to Translation
and Localization (http://www.lisa.org/),
and is a requirement for several LISA standards like
o
TMX
(http://www.lisa.org/standards/tmx/),
Support XLIFF inline markup in TMX 2.0 is in progress at this moment (draft
posted for public review).
o

Hi everyone,
I believe the latest timeline I had heard was that
you would be submitting XLIFF for OASIS Standard vote on/before December 15
(which would result in an OASIS ballot 16-31 Jan). This is a gentle reminder
that you have approximately 36 hours to meet that deadline.
Regards,
Mary
