We keep talking about IETF/W3C/ISO, but there's another organization that
might be worth examining, whose work seems generally separate from (though
similarly interlocking with) IETF and W3C.
Jon Bosak posted a piece on OASIS' technical committee model a bit over a
week ago:
http://lists.xml.org/archives/xml-dev/200010/msg00085.html
He describes the OASIS TC process there, and points to the more formal
description as well:
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml
It's interesting stuff, and new. OASIS has a $250 annual fee for
individuals who want to participate, but Jon made clear that TC process
could include more open contribution models, like xml-dev discussion of SAX.
I haven't participated directly in OASIS, though I'm certainly considering
it given this latest move acknowledging the possibility of open
participation. At the very least, it's yet another model, if a very new one.
