Title: Public Review of WSRM specifications
> This would be a full 60-day review. Once you’ve topped
out at OS/approved errata you go back to the beginning of the process for the
next release.
While this requirement of 60-day review may no
be a practical issue for the WS-RX TC, I would really like to understand
the rationale behind this rule. In general, I would have assumed that the
duration of the review period be based upon - a> the assumed familiarity of
the readers with the contents of the previous versions, and b> nature of the
changes introduced in the current version.
I think readers should be quite familiar with the previous
version (v1.1) since there have already been multiple public reviews of the
previous version. Secondly, the current version (v1.2-cd01) do not include
substantive changes as such (risking being judgmental here, I know). So I
think a 15-day (as opposed to 60-day) public review period would have made
a lot of sense in our case.
Perhaps it should be left to the individual TCs to choose
the duration (15-day vs. 60-day) for the public review period for a draft that
has a predecessor version which has already been subject to public
review.
Thoughts? Comments?

Hi
Sanjay,
Thanks for the heads up – I most likely won’t have a chance to take a look at
the files before the middle of the week but will do my
best.
This would be a full 60-day review. Once you’ve topped out at OS/approved
errata you go back to the beginning of the process for the next
release.
Regards,
Mary

Hi
Mary,
This is to
give you a heads up that the WS-RX TC voted with Full Majority on 2/28
conf-call to submit our latest CDs for Public Review. The editors are
preparing the final package for submission. Meanwhile, if you could also
verify the latest package [1] for any potential issues, that will be
great.
I also
have one question for you -- How long would this PR cycle be, given that these
latest CD drafts are a result of the progression of the last OS version (i.e.
the latest CD drafts = OS draft + approved errata + some issue resolutions)?
The version numbers of latest CD drafts are different than that of their last
OS versions, but there are no changes to the namespace defined by these
specifications.
Thanks,
Sanjay
