Description:

Pending a successful Domain Technology Committee vote on the FTF Version 1.0 produced by the Finalization Task Force, and subsequent adoption by the Board of Directors, this Revision Task Force was chartered in the DTC Plenary in Orlando, September 2008 to resolve issues as they arise.

Members are appointed by the Domain Technology Committee. The chair will call votes on proposed resolutions to issues. Any member who misses 2 out of any three consecutive votes is removed from membership by rule. Members can only rejoin through a motion in a DTC Plenary.

Submitters who have submitted Business Committee Questionnaires acceptable to the Board of Directors have veto power on any vote.

This work page is provided by the GovDTF as a courtesy to the FTF RTF which is a Task Force in its own right. The proceedings of the RTF is not a GovDTF work item.

Objectives:

Resolve any issues raised concerning the FTF V1.0 Specification, and if necessary produce V1.1 of the specification.

Members:

All members are to review the OMG Policy & Procedures, Section 4.4, "Finalisation and Revision". (http://doc.omg.org/pp/2009-01-02)

Larry Johnson, Tethersend Consulting is the Chair of the RMS-FTF

Members can only be added or removed by a successful motion in a Domain Technology Committee Plenary at an OMG Technology Committee meeting (removal can also be effected by the resignation of the member, of course).

Members are required to vote.

• Any member who does not vote in any two of three consecutive ballots is removed by rule (OMG Policies and Procedures) with no exceptions. (Note: this includes the pattern NoVote/Vote/NoVote, not just two missed votes in a row.)
• A vote of "Abstain" counts as a vote both for this rule and also counts toward quorum.
• Members automatically removed cannot be re-instated except by a successful motion in the next DTC Plenary.

Members shown in bold are submitters with veto power (those who submitted Business Questionnaires acceptable to the Board of Directors.) A "No" vote is not a veto. To exercise veto power on an issue the qualifying member must explicitly vote "Veto".

• Antoine Lonjon, Mega International
