Subject: Request from the Electronic Court Filing Technical Committee




From: "Winters, Roger" <>
To: "''" <>
Date: Fri, 8 Aug 2003 13:48:54 -0700 














Dear Steering Committee:

 

As you know, I am the elected representative from the
Electronic Court Filing Technical Committee (ECFTC) to the Legal XML Member
Section Steering Committee. In that capacity, I bring you a request from ECFTC for
support. Since the Steering Committee has not been successful in meeting
recently by conference call, I am making this request through e-mail.

 

ECFTC requests funds necessary to obtain professional
services to analyze the results of the "E-Filing Process Models"
survey we are conducting. The survey was prepared by one of two subcommittees
whose work is prerequisite to ECFTC's developing the "Electronic
Court Filing -- Blue" specification. Schema-based "Blue" is
the focus of ECFTC's work: We already produced several DTD-based specifications
(Court Filing 1.0 and 1.1; Court Document 1.1; Query and Response 1.1). As you
know, those specifications have been approved by the Conference of State Court
Administrators (COSCA) and National Association for Court Management (NACM) as
Proposed Standards for electronic filing and documents in the courts. 

 

ECFTC's Process Models Subcommittee prepared a
detailed survey that is now being sent to every court with electronic filing
and every electronic filing provider known to us. The survey is to help ECFTC
lay a strong foundation for true interoperability under "Blue" by
obtaining detailed information about the business and technical models in
actual use in courts with some form of electronic filing. 

 

ECFTC seeks funds we believe necessary to properly collect
and analyze the survey results. We believe it is appropriate to fund this
effort using resources accrued by the Member Section, since ECFTC is the
largest and most productive of the Section's technical committees. We
have estimated that at least $10,000 will be needed to ensure a quality
product.

 

Our target is for this work to begin in mid-September when
survey results will have been collected, with a report to be presented to the
ECFTC at its face-to-face meeting in late October in Kansas City (in
conjunction with the Court Technology Conference there). We seek this funding
as soon as possible, so we can identify and contract with a consultant or firm
capable of doing the work. 

 

I look forward to joining a meeting in the near future where
I might hear any questions you have about this request for support of the
Member Section's largest TC. I hope we will be able to meet and act on
this request soon.

 

Regards,

 

Roger
