Completed:

The Subcommittee was closed by OASIS TC Administration on 11 February 2020 and is no longer active.

Archives of its work remain publicly accessible and are linked from this page. OASIS appreciates the efforts of all those who participated in this SC.

Statement of purpose
--------------------
As the ODF TC completes its work on ODF 1.2, it is desirable to instantiate a parallel effort to gather requirements and define a vision for the next major revision of the standard.

It is the purpose of the ODF-Next Requirements Subcommittee to gather
requirements, to categorize these requirements by theme, to prioritize
these requirements, and to submit a report to the ODF TC on a recommended set of work items for the next major version of ODF, which will have the working name of "ODF-Next".

Scope of work
-------------

In accordance with the above Purpose, the ODF-Next Requirements SC would undertake the following activities:

To collect requirements for ODF-Next from TC members, from the OASIS ODF Adoption TC, from implementors, from users, from the public, and from other stakeholders;

To ensure that all requirements collected have been formally submitted as contributions to the ODF TC, either as TC member contributions or via the Feedback License;

To categorize these comments according theme;

To prioritize the themes and the requirements within the themes;

To produce and submit to the ODF TC a report on a recommended set of work items for ODF-Next


Deliverables
------------

An ODF-Next Requirements Proposal document (target May 1st, 2009)


Manner and schedule of work
---------------------------
The work of the subcommittee will be primarily through conference calls and a mail list set up by OASIS for subcommittee work, or other IT tools provided by OASIS for TC work. Access by the public will be through an openly available mail list archive.

Conference calls may be scheduled on a regular basis as agreed by the subcommittee after its formation. The intent is to have this be a low-intensity background activity that sets a pace of work that will not
distract from ongoing ODF 1.2 work, and which will allow all interested TC members to participate.
