We should indeed close ebBP. Right
now the ebBP roster has 31 users but only one registered voting
member (Dale), so perhaps a vote is not necessary and Dale can
just inform Chet that he wants the TC to close and designate
ebCore as maintenance TC. For CPA TC Admin did not ask for a
vote, but just closed it. The ebCore was set up for maintenance
and related new work. While ebCore has not met recently, there
still is some interesting unfinished work that hopefully one day
some of us finally find the time to work on ..

Has the ebXML-BP TC acted to designate the ebXML Core TC as
its maintenance TC? As our rules allow? I think it may have
done so ... but if not, it should consider holding that vote
before closing, so as to make the IPR rights of the core
TVCV to conduct future maintenance more certain.

Members of the ebXML Business Process TC,
I have been notified that the TC took actions to
close in 2008 but that the process never completed.
There is reference in emails to the decision in meetings
to close the TC and transition its work and there is
proposed ballot language but the only concrete record I
can find is the email contributing the documents with
ebBP maintenance and enhancement issues to the ebCore TC
on 03 November 2008. See https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ebxml-bp/200811/msg00000.html
Nevertheless, it does appear that the intent of the
TC was to close and TC Administration is empowered to
close a TC that fails to conduct at least one Quorate
Meeting or conduct any Work Product Ballots during any
six month period. See https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#closingTC
.
Therefore, unless I hear any objections raised, I
will carry out the actions needed to close the TC next
Thursday, 06 February 2014. Please let me know before
then if you have any concerns about taking this action.
As is standard OASIS policy, the assets of the TC
will remain publicly avaiable though no longer active.
The TC's
will remain open so that former members can receive any
outside feedback or questions in the future.
Best regards,
