Draft response to ETSI liaison message

Dear TC members,

please find below my draft response to the ETSI liaison message:

Dear Sonia,

thank you very much for your liaison message. The OpenDocument TC has
reviewed it and the draft of "Electronic Signatures and Infrastructures 
(ESI); Associated Signatures" with great interest.

While we consider the draft to be very interesting, the development of 
OpenDocument v1.2 is already nearly completed. For this reason, it is 
unfortunately not possible to consider a use of it in OpenDocument 
v1.2's signature specification without significantly delaying 
OpenDocument v1.2.

We however would be glad to discuss the use of the Associated Signatures
draft for a future version of OpenDocument as soon as the OpenDocument
TC starts working on a new OpenDocument version. This may be in a few weeks.

Please note that such discussions have to take place under consideration 
of the relevant OASIS policies, namely the OASIS IPR[1] and liaison[2] 
policies
