TC.ProjectPlan: initial content

Now that the Private Discussion List is open for 
business, this is the arena to discuss all matters relating to management of 
responsibilities for the committeee.  

 

CONDUCTING BUSINESS

---------------------------------------

In keeping in line with OASIS principles, we will 
make sure as much communications as possible takes place over an open forum such 
as this (i.e. not through private email, wherever possible)

 

Rex will be maintaining the lists of the members and 
responsibilities.  I will start off with the descriptions below:

 

 

 

 

INITIAL ROLES

------------------------

 

Ranjeeth, Chair

Rex, Secretary/Webmaster

Joe, non-technical Editor

Kurt, technical Editor

 

(additional breakdown will be done as size of TC 
changes)

 

 

 

 

 

FUTURE ROLES

------------------------

Rob Nixon has asked to be chair of VR subcommittee 
and Sudhakar Gorti, chair of physical description subcommittee, in the 
future.  

Discussion regarding these should take place on 
this Private Discussion List till the next meeting.

 

Additionally I nominate Sean B. Palmer to be in 
charge of the HumanML RDF Specification and Len Bullard to be responsible for 
the HumanML -- XML Schema specification.  Since Len is not a member, I 
offer to represent his interests during the meeting.

 

Additional roles will be assigned based on 
interests of the contributors to this group.  By next meeting, every member 
of the TC has to have a formal role assigned (to ensure accountability), and all 
non-member contributors will be requested to handle a particular 
role.

 

Liaisons can start to be discussed, formally or 
informally, by then.

 

 

 

 

RESPONSIBILITIES

------------------------------

 

There are three important points regarding all 
roles, current and future:

   1) These are all active roles, and 
each participant is responsible for upkeep of tasks

   2) All posts are mandatorily 
reviewed either on a daily or regular basis

   3) All duties are fully understood 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/guidelines.shtml

       These roles 
are customized somewhat for HumanMarkup TC, so please personally list out the 
specific duties we are responsible 
for.       

 

All individuals in roles must ensure that these 
roles are met.  If there is an inability to meet these requirements, please 
contact me directly, and we can adjust duties.  Thanks.

 

 

 

CONTINGENCY PLAN

--------------------------------

 

To ensure continuity of progress, we have to ensure 
contingency regarding our work progress.  If any of us is not able to meet our responsibility by stated 
deadline, then another is responsible.  This ensures that our progress 
continues.

 

According to OASIS, responsibility for all 
work ultimately lies with the chair of the group.  If the chair is 
unable to perform his duties, then work will transfer to secretary, TC 
webmaster, and editors.  

 

If there is long term inability for anyone to meet 
the requirements for the roles, then the TC will vote to find a 
replacement.

 

Non-Tech Editor-->Tech 
Editor-->Chair

Tech Editor-->Non-Tech 
Editor-->Chair

Secretary-->Chair

Webmaster-->Chair

 

Chair-->Secretary--->Webmaster--->Tech 
Editor-->Non-Tech Editor

 

(future roles will have a contingency 
hierarchy established as well)
