Hi Mary,

I'm one of the editors for the SCA J TC. We are considering approving the 1st CD next week and have the draft ready. Two questions regarding this:

1) My understanding is that the metadata related to the spec can be changed *after* the CD is approved by the TC. By metadata, I mean the status, URLs etc on page 1 and the footers. Is that correct? What about the 'Notice' on page 3?

2) Could you also tell us what year should be used in the copyright notice? Copyright © OASIS® 2007,8. All Rights Reserved. OR Copyright © OASIS® 2008. All Rights Reserved. OR something else.

In our case, we made the initially "working drafts" publicly available on the TC's website (by uploaded the docs to the 'document' section) in 2007, but we are approving the 1st CD in 2008. We have not made anything available on the docs.oasis-open.org website in 2007.

Any guidance on this is much appreciated.

Thanks.

-Anish
