Dear Advisory Committee Representative,
The WebCGM Working Group [1] has fulfilled most of its mission and scope [2]
successfully and on time, providing chartered deliverables [3] with
publication of a WebCGM 2.0 Recommendation [4] and an OASIS Standard [5], an
Interoperability Implementation Report [6], a Test Suite [7] and addressing a
few WebCGM 2.0 Recommendation errata [8].
The Working Group has requested and been granted a six-month extension to 30
November 2007 to finalize the following deliverables as mentioned in its
charter [3]:
1. Collect and publish pending WebCGM 1.0 errata
2. Publish a WebCGM 1.0 third release incorporating
those errata
3. Collect and publish WebCGM 2.0 errata, if required
4. Organize a F2F to finalize these items.
The WebCGM Working Group may also collect requirements for a possible future
WebCGM 2.x; if these are found to be needed, a proposal for a new charter
including that work would be sent to the Advisory Committee for review.
A resolution to request a charter extension was accepted by the WebCGM Working
Group after a poll [9]. All participants in good standing have indicated they
support this charter extension and will continue to support the work of the group.
This extension follows section 6.2.5 of the W3C Process Document:
