We should indeed close ebBP. Right now the ebBP roster has 31 users but only one registered voting member (Dale), so perhaps a vote is not necessary and Dale can just inform Chet that he wants the TC to close and designate ebCore as maintenance TC. For CPA TC Admin did not ask for a vote, but just closed it. The ebCore was set up for maintenance and related new work. While ebCore has not met recently, there still is some interesting unfinished work that hopefully one day some of us finally find the time to work on ..

I think it may have done so ... but if not, it should consider holding that vote before closing, so as to make the IPR rights of the core TVCV to conduct future maintenance more certain.

There is reference in emails to the decision in meetings to close the TC and transition its work and there is proposed ballot language but the only concrete record I can find is the email contributing the documents with ebBP maintenance and enhancement issues to the ebCore TC on 03 November 2008. See https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/ebxml-bp/200811/msg00000.html Nevertheless, it does appear that the intent of the TC was to close and TC Administration is empowered to close a TC that fails to conduct at least one Quorate Meeting or conduct any Work Product Ballots during any six month period. See https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#closingTC . Therefore, unless I hear any objections raised, I will carry out the actions needed to close the TC next Thursday, 06 February 2014. Please let me know before then if you have any concerns about taking this action. As is standard OASIS policy, the assets of the TC will remain publicly avaiable though no longer active. The TC's [email protected] will remain open so that former members can receive any outside feedback or questions in the future.
