oBIX - ready for next step

It is time, and past time for the wider oBIX group to meet again. The 
failure to meet recently must be laid at my feet, due to some health/rehab 
issues that have led me to drop many issues (Don’t ask – not because I am 
sensitive, or shy about them – on the contrary I will happily tell you *all* 
about it and there will go the rest of your day)

 

Fortunately, the XML committee has been hard at work, and the XML 
standard, half-baked when last the larger group peaked into the oven, now looks 
and smells ready to pull out and consume.

 

This means that we must meet to discuss variety of issues and timelines, 
most importantly:

 

1)      
Possible timelines for completing the 
work

2)      
Deadlines (linked with (1) for each organization with 
a member receiving this email to read and comment on draft

3)      
Plans for this year’s Face-2-Face 
meeting

4)      
Plans for the work to interact with other OASIS 
standards

 

The XML committee meets on the Wednesday, 22nd of February 14, 
2006 at 3:00 EST to discuss the draft. I wish to set up a Teleconference that 
will count as a membership meeting, with all the consequences of not attending 
in accord with the OASIS rules, between the end of that meeting and the end of 
the week.

 

If you have strong feelings about the time, please email them to me 
before I post a poll in which you can vote for the preferred meeting 
time.

 

If you have not read the latest work, please do.
