Adminstrative Issues
We are all aware that we have several items that need to be
finished in order to conform to JTC 1 schedule requirements as well
as to maintain the credibility of the topic maps family of standards.
Please come to the meeting prepared to discuss the following
adminstrative issues:
- A common website location for all WG 3 drafts (does not exclude
other sites)
- Requiring work items begin as preliminary work items as
defined in Part 1 of the ISO/IEC Directives 2.2 and before
being accepted as a new work item (ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1,
2.3.1, that requirements and a substantial working draft be
accepted by a majority of the committee
- Request that project editors review the committments as outlined
in ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1, 2.1.8, to determine if they wish to
continue in those capacities. (Basically assisting the editors in
drafting work.)
- Establishing a WG 3 rule that requires that issues lists be filed
for each meeting at which there will be discussion of a proposed
draft. If no issues list is filed, it will be presumed that there
are no issues to be discussed and the meeting schedule adjusted
accordingly
- Scheduling committee work on particular standards. As the current
agenda shows, there really isn't enough time to cover every part
and leave time to get effective work done on any of it. (For
example, I am going to suggest that we defer discussion of 13250-1,
-5 until the next meeting.)
- Such other matters are deemed necessary by the committee to move
forward with the standards work undertaken or to be undertaken by
the committee.
