Step 2: Committee members choose the IPR mode best suited to their work and request that the OASIS TC Administrator opens a transition ballot Step 3: No sooner than 30 days later (in order to give all other members the opportunity to sign the Membership Agreement), the OASIS TC Administrator opens the Transition Ballot Step 4: Votes are cast by the Primary Contacts of the organizations that have employees as TC Participants (so that there is one vote per organization), and Individual Members who are TC Participants, but in each case only those who have signed the OASIS Membership Agreement Balloting remains open for 14 days Step 5: If the ballot passes, results of the transition vote are announced by the OASIS TC Administrator, and the Committee begins operation under the OASIS IPR Policy 14 days later The vote to approve an IPR mode must be unanimous This ensures that Committees are able to complete their work, make use of necessary Contributions, and retain the support of all TC Participants If the ballot fails, the Committee may try again, specifying the same or an alternative mode In the event that TC Participants not agree on a new IPR Mode (or if Participants choose not to undertake a transition ballot) a Committee can continue to operate under the terms of its existing charter and previous OASIS IPR Policy for up to two years in order to complete its work Web site Members are invited to comment on any issues related to the web site 14 Future meeting schedule, hosts 15 Any Other Business Page of Meeting 27 Agenda- 31 October 2006 – November 2006 dtz1667321720.doc 16 Open Action Items Meeting Date and Number Action Item # Action Item Responsibility Closed Rob Bodington to review OASIS template for use with DEX Rob Bodington Continuing Howard Mason Continuing Rob Bodington Continuing 13 Nov 2003 3 Sep 2004 9 Sep 2004 12 21 Oct 2004 10 Tor Arne Irgens to invite SCORM representative to next face-to-face PLCS meeting Tor Arne Irgens Continuing Look at IPR rights with legal department One of the US Companies should also consult their legal department for an opinion on the new OASIS IPR BAE Systems Secretariat to contact US companies OPEN Howard Mason OPEN 16 Mar 2005 14 Raise publication issues with Mary McRae Compile sample of DEX format and run through OASIS for approval 14 Apr 2005 15 20 Chair(Howard Mason) to check with OASIS, James Clark, to see if list of organizations that provide PLCS services can be done 28 June 2005 17 Nigel Newling to contact Secretariat with DEX 4/9 funded resources when available Nigel Newling OPEN Nigel Shaw OPEN Nigel Shaw OPEN All OPEN Secretariat OPEN Tor Arne Irgens OPEN 29 Sep 2005 19 Nigel Shaw to look into the types of XML schemas being covered by et.gov, and given the changing state of P28e2, provide feedback on whether the OASIS PLCS TC should offer material to et.gov 10 Jan 2006 22 12 Recheck to see if posting material and a link to the PLCS ePortal would be beneficial Secretariat to survey TC member companies with a copy of proposed workplan and solicit interest in participating in the tasks at hand Members should indicate high/medium/low interest in each activity Secretariat to tabulate and report results of survey Tor Arne Irgens to identify points of contact for developing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between PLCS and SCORM, ADL, and S1000D 24 May 2006 24 24 May 2006 24 24 May 2006 24 24 July 2006 25 Map carried forward Action items into TOG proposed work program Tor Arne Irgens Howard Mason Chris Kreiler Closed 24 July 2006 25 Review definition of WEB services and send comments to Rob Bodington All OPEN Page of Meeting 27 Agenda- 31 October 2006 – November 2006 dtz1667321720.doc Meeting Date and Number Action Item # Sep 2006 26 Sep 2006 26 Sep 2006 26 Sep 2006 26 Sep 2006 26 Action Item Continue to track activities of OASIS Codelist TC for impact on reference data requirements Recontact PROMISE project to see if they are still interested in a liaison with the OASIS PLCS TC Teleconference to prepare agenda for faceto-face meeting Secretariat to request members confirm attendance at face-to-face at Huntsville Secretariat to issue security requirements for access to Redstone Arsenal Page of Responsibility Closed Nigel Shaw OPEN Howard Mason OPEN Howard Mason Tor Arne Irgens Chris Kreiler Complete Secretariat Complete Secretariat Complete
