Ah, ok. I only mentioned that because the note said "2 out of 3" and that doesn't meet the requirement.

Chet -- I am well used to tracking voting rights.
The reason that we brought this up to TC members is that the
previous TC Admin, Mary McRae, used voting attendance as registered
in Kavi to determine which TC members were eligible to vote on
ballots.
We had one member who WAS not permitted to cast a final vote in the
process of moving DITA 1.2 along and so was quite unhappy. We did
not want any folks to be unknowingly put in that position again ...
Best,

Hi all -
One correction to your minutes. You wrote: "... voting for these will
be controlled by Kavi, so in order to vote, you will have
had to attend at least 2 of the previous 3 meetings."
Unfortunately
this is incorrect. Kavi does not support our requirement for
maintaining voting rights: attend 2 consecutive meetings to
gain voting rights, miss 2 consecutive meetings and lose
voting rights. (We have asked multiple times but they
decline to put resources on this.)
This means that
it is up to the TC chairs/secretaries to track attendance
manually and maintain the roster of voting members manually.
Sorry to have to dump that on you all but it is what we have
to do.
One thing I see
other TCs doing that is helpful is sending out emails either
before or after TC meetings letting everyone know what
voting rights changed. That lets people either be warned and
take action or point out if a tracking error was made. See
for example https://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/amqp-bindmap/201211/msg00015.html
Best,

4. Calendar for critical dates to enable DITA 1.3 to be
released in 2015
Kris and Robert went over the upcoming critical dates in
getting DITA 1.3 out this year, which they had reviewed
earlier today with Chet Ensign. They will put up a wiki with
those dates so that TC members can keep track of them and
prepare for whahtever needs to be done. One thing to note on
'official' TC votes; voting for these will be controlled by
Kavi, so in order to vote, you will have had to attend at
least 2 of the previous 3 meetings.
They noted the issues that came up in building the CSD and
CSPRD over the weekend; lots of tweaking, sheer number of
deliverables to create: 4 editions, times 6
deliverables/edition, times 2 (CSD & CSPRD.
TC members expresssed their thanks to Kris and Robert for
their work.
