[Juan Cruellas]

Dear all, At yesterday's meeting Ezer reported that the last comments on the Visible Signature Profile would be resolved during the first half of this week, which would lead to have a version ready for being voted as Committe Draft during this week. We would like to move this forward at the next call, by making a motion for opening an electronic ballot or just voting at the meeting (both options are possible under certain conditions). I copy the rules governing the approval of a Committe Draft below: ---> RULES "Full Majority Vote" is a TC vote in which more than 50% (more than half) of the Voting Members vote "yes", regardless of the number of Voting Members present in the meeting. Abstentions are not counted. For example, in a TC in which there are 20 Voting Members, at least 11 Voting Members must vote "yes" for a motion to pass. *3.1 Approval of a Committee Draft *The TC may at any stage during development of a specification approve the specification as a Committee Draft. The approval of a Committee Draft shall require a Full Majority Vote of the TC. The TC may approve a specification, revise it, and re-approve it any number of times as a Committee Draft. <--END RULES The figures of our TC are as follow: 9 voting members (including chairs). This makes that for approving the Committee Draft we need 5 "yes" votes. Voting members: Marta Cruellas, Pim van der Eijk, Ezer Farhi, Detlef Huehnlein, Andreas Kuehne, Konrad Lanz, Clemens Orthacker, Stefan Drees, Juan Carlos Cruellas. What is really crucial is that we get quorum next Monday's meeting for at least approving the motion of opening the ballot. Can we kindly ask you to make an effort for attending that meeting? Thank you very much in advance. Juan Carlos.
