	Agenda Items:

*	Quick Review of OASIS Board Action on RoP 10 Minutes

	1. The text of section 2(c) appears to be repeated in section 2(d).
If 
	there is a specific reason for repeating this text then it may stay
(and 
	please let me know what this reason is so that I may inform the
Board); 
	otherwise section 2(d) should be deleted. A version of the RoP with
this 
	change made can be considered to be approved by the Board if the SC
also 
	approves this change.

	Recommend - Approval and forward to Karl the replacement file
attached.
	 << File: OASISLegalXMLRoP-20021017.doc >> 
	2. Members of the Board have pointed out that the OASIS Bylaws (see 
	http://www.oasis-open.org/who/bylaws.shtml), Article 12 Section 3, 
	states: "The members of each Member Section shall select the chair
of 
	such Section and establish the rules of procedure to govern such 
	Section, provided, however, that such rules of procedure shall be 
	approved in advance by the Board of Directors." Essentially, the
OASIS 
	Bylaws make no provision for a Steering Committee or for a member 
	section chair that is not selected by the members.

	(Yes, I understand that your RoP is based on boilerplate provided to
you 
	by OASIS staff; so this issue is our fault, not yours. It's also an 
	issue effecting all OASIS member sections, so you aren't being
singled 
	out.) The OASIS Board will appoint a subcommittee to look at this
issue 
	and decide whether the OASIS Bylaws should be revised or if the
Board 
	will recommend changes to each of the member sections, and requests
that 
	until this recommendation is formulated in the next couple of months

	that the member section not conduct a steering committee election.

	Recommend - Track OASIS Board Action and indicate our availability
for 
	Discussion.
