Re: [xri-editors] PLEASE PROOF: [xri-editors] Groups - xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd-PROOF.doc

Hello all and Happy New Year.  I have a couple of
queries regarding the status of the currently-underway XRI committee
draft.  If you already have covered these with Karl, that's fine,
but he's away this week and I'm unaware of the resolutions;  so if
not, let's confirm with him early next week.

    I see from Gabe's 8 December message below (#1) that
you may have conducted an approval vote on a committee draft.  If
so, please be sure to formally notify either Karl or me, as required by
Section 3(a) of the OASIS TC Process rules.  I will be happy to
include the spec in our public registry of completed works but can't do
so until that step has been taken.

    I am also concerned about the suggestion that an
approved draft might be further edited, in Drummond's 21 December message
below (#2).  OASIS practice is to freeze changes when a work is put
up for vote, and not to permit changes thereafter except by formal
process (e.g., another vote resulting in a new version) or distinct
errata (also requiring a vote).  Obviously this is to preserve
intact the version as a record of what the TC actually
approved.   So it is possible that any post-vote changes may
need a vote and a version number change.  

    Congratulations in any case on successfully completing
the work.  I'm sure the formalities will not prove to be an obstacle
of any significance.  If there are any questions, let's discuss
early next week once everyone's back from holiday.  If there's more
to this than I know or some urgency for resolving this sooner, please
feel free to advise.  

    Regards  Jamie

Subject: [xri] Unanimous approval of RC2

TC Members-

    The XRI Syntax and
Resolution Specification RC2 has been unanimously approved as a committee
specification.

    We expect errata and other
minor changes to be made after implementation effforts begin (there is at
least one open source effort that we know of). 

    I'd like to congratulate the
TC and especially the editors for making this specification happen! We
still have some work upcoming though: metadata specification, secure
resolution specification, and incorporating feedback from implementation
(as noted above). 

    The mechanics of how RC2 is
published as the official committee spec is being worked on now. We plan
on taking this to the whole of Oasis as an Oasis-approved spec after some
implementation is done and feedback is incorporated. 

    Once again, THANKS and
CONGRATULATIONS!

   
-Gabe

Editors (and Loren, since he
suggested some of the relevant changes):

Dave is on vacation this week so he handed me the final 1.0 spec to
prepare for final posting. We were aiming for last Friday but we made
enough changes (8 total, including one minor error in the ABNF for Query
and Fragment that I caught) that we wanted to have other editors and
Loren review our work before final posting tomorrow.

I just uploaded the proposed 1.0 document to the Editor's TC (see link
below). Note that the date reads 12/23/2003 because that's when I plan to
post it. J

Just open the Comments window to review the changes. In additon to the 8
edits, there are still two outstanding questions. The first one is simply
a procedural question for OASIS about the errata doc. The other one is a
clarification needed - primarily from Gabe - about a sentence in section
3.7.

Loren, please review the XRI Descriptor XML schema to make sure you are
happy with the new element names.

Please post a note to the Editor's list once you have reviewed these
edits/questions (Loren, you can just send me mail directly). Then I'll
post the final final by the end of the day on Tuesday to wrap up our XRI
TC work for 2003.

Thanks,

=Drummond
