RE: [legalxml-courtfiling] A Vote Not to Approve the PolicyRequirements Document

Thanks Don, Roger and Catherine for your thoughts and contributions to the TC.
I support option #1.
<Option #1.
Table or cancel the Court Policy Requirements document and all remaining work on specifications in the "Court Filing 1.x family," leaving "Court Filing 1.1," "Court Document 1.1," and "Query and Response 1.0" as "proposed specifications" of the TC that are written in DTD.
> As i expressed at the Boston meeting we need to move on to writing 2.0 specifications.
At that meeting we also discussed the intersections between the repository discussions and the court policy.
All this needs to be revisited by an active TC membership.
I suggest the following ...
Focus only on a 2.0 specification agenda in Las Vegas....
start drafting SOWs for Court Document specification, Court Filing specification; revisit membership and chairmanships on subcommittees... i understood in Boston that some current specification authors were not going to be available to work on 2.0 specifications due to commitments to other TCs or organizations as well as their professional lives.
I will not be attending the December face to face meeting... but i will be anxious to know the decisions and outcomes of the meeting discussions.
(i will be at the XML Conference)

As i stated in Boston... the work we are doing here in DC can support the authoring of the 2.0 specifications and leveraging work done by other federal agencies and Global will facilitate the TC work as well.
One federal agency recently put together an XML filing capability between two entities in 3 weeks based on open standards... the years of hardwork of many members has brought the community to this point of completion...
We applaud all of you!!! Now we just need to stay focused and turn on the electricity in our minds to cross the next finish line.
The stars are all aligned in early 2003..
to bring about 2.0 specifications.
The resources are known... and the community expertise identified.
.
I will be in and out of my office beginning later this week through the end of the year... but will closely monitor my OASIS Legal XML mail... i have collected sample documents from my customers and will start mapping the available resources to the data requirements ....
e-gov act implementation and homeland security make our work all the more important....
to ensure the due process of <law and order> continues in the virtual world .
...
I am off to London where i hear the tube may be a target....
it's a risk i am willing to take....
i trust that you as a member of this TC will join me in daring to complete 2.0 specifications by april fools day 2003!!! Regards, Diane Lewis
