WSS TC response to the negative vote cast during OASIS member voting

Dear Karl,

At our WSS TC meeting today we discussed
the recent ballot to promote our specs to OASIS standard. In particular
we discussed the one negative vote that was cast.

The TC member from the organization
that cast that vote clarified his company's position on the e-mail list
[1] which greatly helped the TC make an informed decision.

Based on this information and after
a good discussion in the meeting, and on the e-mail list prior to the meeting,
the TC today voted unanimously to request that the specification be advanced
to OASIS standard. Further, the TC voted to address the comments raised
in an errata or by other appropriate means as soon as possible. The TC
is adding this issue to the list of issues being tracked.
