RE: [xri-editors] PLEASE PROOF: [xri-editors] Groups - xri-syntax-resolution-1.0-cd-PROOF.doc
I'm 
pretty sure we've notified Karl about the vote. 

 

As for 
post-vote changes, I spose we should in fact have another vote, but it will be a 
formality. I think we need to wait until after this week to initiate that vote. 
In fact, I don't think we've yet published any post-vote document. There was 
some confusion about whether editorial changes (such as typos, etc) would 
trigger a revote, but it turns out, I think we may have gone slightly beyond 
those sort of changes.

 

Also, 
I think Drummond had some outstanding technical issues about the self-reference 
in the document (ideally something other than a big long URL with document.php 
in the middle of it, for example). 

 

Anyway, it may be easiest just to hold another vote at this point after 
all of Drummond's questions get answered.

  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
