The TCs I have chaired have used JIRA and it has worked quite well for us.
It would nice to have a common tool/format across TCs so that other standards bodies and the public at large know how to get to these archived comments/disposition.
WRT your spreadsheet suggestion: would this result in a public document? Would this result in a public URI reference to individual comment/disposition? I think it is important to have this ability.

TC Chairs,
Recently, I have had several discussions with people on comment resolution logs. As I'm sure you know from the TC Process, TCs are required to maintain logs of comments received and their resolution and provide them at several different points throughout the process. Specifically, in section 3.2 Public Review of a Committee Draft (http://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#publicReview), the process reads:
"The TC must acknowledge the receipt of each comment, track the comments received, and post to its primary e-mail list its disposition of each comment at the end of the review period."
Our growing liaisons with other standards bodies is making getting this right even more important.
I believe it is becoming more and more important that we accomplish both the letter and the spirit of this requirement in order to make it easier for commenters to learn of the disposition of their feedback, for reviewers to learn what has happened between one public review and the next, and for voters to get a full picture of the history of a Committee Specification when it is advanced as a Candidate OASIS Standard.
I would appreciate hearing your thoughts on how best to accomplish this, how best to provide you with the flexibility you need while ensuring that the record of comments and resolutions is maintained and made available over time. For example,
- Some TCs are using JIRA successfully to track, manage and report on comments. Would training in using JIRA for this process be useful?
- Some TCs are using spread sheets to track and report on feedback. Would template spread sheets help you adopt this approach?
- Would a document on best practices help you and your TC put a mechanism in place to successfully track and report on comments.
Please take a minute to share your thoughts with me on how we can make this work conveniently and securely. I want to gather the fruits of your experience and thoughts, as well as the feedback from your TC, before making any proposals for next steps.
I look forward to hearing from you and meanwhile, thank you for all the work that you do here at OASIS.
Best regards,
/chet
