To OASIS members:

On 1 August 2008 review materials were sent out for the following Committee Specification set that has been submitted for consideration as an OASIS Standard:

Solution Deployment Descriptor Specification 1.0

Documents: Editable Source (Microsoft Word) http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cs01/sdd-spec-v1.0-cs01.doc HTML: http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cs01/sdd-spec-v1.0-cs01.html PDF: http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cs01/sdd-spec-v1.0-cs01.pdf

Schemas: Common: http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cd04/FullSchema/cd04-common-1.0.xsd Deployment Descriptor: http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cd04/FullSchema/cd04-deploymentDescriptor-1.0.xsd Package Descriptor: http://docs.oasis-open.org/sdd/v1.0/cd04/FullSchema/cd04-packageDescriptor-1.0.xsd

This Committee Specification was approved by the TC and was subject to a required 60-day public review. Afterwards, the review materials were sent out to the membership of OASIS for the required 15-day familiarization period. Those materials can be found at: http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/tc-announce/200808/msg00000.html.

As the required review and familiarization periods have now been completed, it is time to vote. I am sending out a Call For Vote to the voting representatives of each organizational member of OASIS. The applicable process rules can be found at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process-2008-06-19.php#OASISstandard. The minimum number of affirmative votes required to approve this ballot is 45 (15% of 296).

As each OASIS organizational member has only one vote, participants should give their input to their organization's voting representative. If you don't know the identity of your organization's voting representative is, go to the My Account page at http://www.oasis-open.org/members/user_tools then select the link for View Company Roster, then look for the name designated as "Primary".

The ballot can be viewed at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/ballot.php?id=1511
