On March 18th, the ballot for the current XES Standard Proposal was closed. Response rate is 95%, there is one abstention, and the approval rate is 100%.

We received three comments on the Proposal. Two comments concerned the use of XML Schema datatypes like xs:dateTime, xs:decimal, and xs:token. The third comment concerned the use of two normative references (basically, for the use of the XML Schemas in the Proposal) and a possible mismatch between the PAR (Project Approval Request) and the current Proposal. We're working on resolving these comments.

After that, all lights seem green to take the next step in the process: Submit the then-current Proposal to RevCom.
