1. SARIF TC Timeline
Proposed, approximate

2. What does a TC deliver?
Standards Track Work Products “A Work Product produced and approved by a TC in accordance with the TC Process which may be promoted to Committee Specification or OASIS Standard” Examples:
Working Drafts
Committee Specification Drafts (CSDs)
Committee Specifications
OASIS Candidate Standards
Non-Standards Track Work Products “A Work Product produced and approved by a TC in accordance with the TC Process which may be progressed to Committee Note. Non- Standards Track Work Products are intended to be informative and explanatory in nature. They are not subject to the patent licensing and non-assertion obligations requirements of the OASIS IPR Policy” Examples:
Committee Note Drafts (CNDs)
Committee Notes

3. Working Draft
Preliminary document produced by one or more Members (typically editors) of a Technical Committee.
No official standing.
Initial starting point where all of the writing, rewriting and editing happens for any Work Product.

4. Committee Specification Draft (CSD)
First-level approval stage on the Standards Track.
Based on a specified version of a Working Draft.
Approval by full majority vote of the TC.
One or more CSDs (but not necessarily all) can be submitted for public review by full majority vote as a Committee Specification Public Review Draft (CSPRD).

5. Committee Specification
Next level of approval on the Standards Track.
Must be based on a CSPRD.
Requires Special Majority Ballot (at least 2/3 of full voting membership in favor, no more than 1/4 opposed; abstentions don’t count).

6. Candidate OASIS Standard
Penultimate stage of approval on the Standards Track.
Must be based on Committee Specification.
Requires Special Majority Ballot to advance a Committee Specification to a Candidate OASIS Standard.

7. OASIS Standard Highest level of approval on the Standards Track.
Unlike other steps, requires OASIS-wide ballot; each OASIS Organizational Member has one vote.
Ballots follow additional public review periods.
