Request for TC approval: OASIS Open Repository proposal for Lightweight DITA subcommittee

On Mark's behalf, I'm sending the DITA TC this request by Chet for
    approval as a motion by the TC. Can we please add this to the agenda
    for tomorrow? Michael or I can phrase the motion for the vote and
    minutes.

    

    I copied the full note string since it contains also Chet's advice
    on actions for this item.

Mark, this looks great. Can you now do 2 next
        steps... 
        

        

        
First, get this approved by the DITA TC. It can be done as
          a motion in a meeting or as an electronic ballot. It looks
          like the next TC meeting is tomorrow? 

        

        

        
Then, after approval and publication of the minutes, please
          fill out the request form at https://www.oasis-open.org/resources/tc-admin-requests/open-repository-request 

        

        

        
We will take it from there. 

        

        

        
Robin, any other thoughts? 

        

        

        
Best,

          Hi Chet,

            

            Here is the Lightweight DITA subcommittee proposal for a
            GitHub OASIS Open Repository. We agreed on this in our last
            meeting two weeks ago. I think I covered what was needed.

            

            Please let me know if you need anything else.

            

            Regards,
