Title: RE: [courtfiling-doc] Breaking Court Document out of Court Filing
|
My point
about putting the proposal in the form of a draft charter is to frame the issues
and determine who is sponsoring and leading such a proposed TC. This
particular procedure is spelled out in OASIS at http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#tc_formation. This approach has
the added benefit of having the discussion in the public domain as
well. If there is another procedure under OASIS, someone should put
it on the table.
Our Steering committee
is not omniscient and should be steering the work of the TC's not dictating
what folks should do or not do. If someone wants to run with this,
we should encourage volunteerism and not stifle such an
initiative.
On a substantive note, the discussion
about locking in the presentation format that took place in eContracts went in
the direction that distinguishes between data that people want in a smart
structured exchange format and data that needs to be in a presentable
format. This allows the continuation of the blob WITH structured data but
is can be based on the parties' agreement on what constitutes the binding
bilateral contract. Court Documents are unilateral and may need
some basis other than consent.
I am also
pleased to say that I filed the final tax return for LegalXML, Inc., reporting
that it was dissolved in 2002. We are committed to the OASIS
course.
Let's
discuss the process for considering a new TC under the OASIS Rules of Procedure
(RoP). The steering committee should discuss it, but let's use a broader forum
and process as provided in the RoP. If no one assembles a charter or
we decide to go in another direction, the issues surfaced by CFTC
and eContracts need horizontal resolution.
All the
best
