I agree with Toby - WS-Calendar is meeting again to vote out the specific URI Working Draft, and the package *as submitted* will be available within hours. The actual Public Review announcement will certainly not be immediate, and is unlikely to be in time for the PAP03-04 meeting next week. We need to consider whether a public review is beneficial and sufficiently ripe at this time. Please read the draft - *credible major issues* that would prevent a useful public review should be ready and put into Jira. Yes, comments should go to the PR version if this is voted out. So we *will have* the actual public review package that can be referenced and will be on the site.

We can also release an EMIX spec for PR that references the wrong WS-Cal schemas and has known bugs and is thus something they should ignore because we don’t think it’s worth looking at yet.

We can do dozens of PRs if we want to. I imagine quorum will be tough next week. Certainly edits will be slow next week, during the SGIP The first meeting is after that is the 8 th . As it stands now, with turn-over, it is * my * * guess * that PR announcements from OASIS will take more than a week to get out. That puts it on the 15 th or later. I think participation will be way down if we do that instead of extending the message “Here is the draft we voted out for PR, look at it and comment—the announcement will come out soon”. I think that plays better than “Here is a document that you may ignore because we don’t think it’s worth looking at yet” Others may read the tea leaves differently. tc It is the theory that decides what can be observed . - Albert Einstein Toby Considine Chair, OASIS oBIX Technical Committee U.S. National Inst. of Standards and Tech.

It seems we have good reasons to wait so that we can get a clean version of EMIX out. Why does going to PR help make a better “package” to present? And why then can’t we get a PR before Apr 15?

This could be an annotation in the schemas or simply in the namespace document. Not sure how to do with no change but you seem to be contemplating replacing those with the PR02 WS-Calendar schemas.

If you read the recent interpretation of the rules (Monday night) then you know that it cannot include any changes or directions received in tomorrow’s meeting. You have all seen that EMIX (spec, schemas, and examples) was updated on Tuesday afternoon. If we want to share that work with the SGIP, then we should request a 2 week PR at the meeting. Please be on the meeting (we need an absolute majority to vote a PR), and familiar with the latest documents and artifacts. In particular, I propose that a Public Review be based on http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/41575/emix-1-0-spec-wd20.pdf and http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/41576/emix-1-0-schemas-wd20.zip The note the other night stated that we must vote these documents, precisely, with no changes allowed of any kind. We must, unfortunately, continue to carry the WS-Calendar schemas forward in this package as it is unclear if that TC will be able to pull off a second PR vote as they are not scheduled to meet this week. If we are able to vote itout for PR, I will then propose that we distribute links and information to all PAP04, PAP04, and PAP09 (and the relevant DEWGS) before the weekend before the SGIP meeting.
