Protecting your calls from gate-crashers

Chet Ensign
 

Team leaders,

From time to time, we get reports of outsiders crashing team calls. There has been a recent spate of such disruptions again. The effect of these interruptions can be anywhere from merely annoying to very upsetting. Either way, you may want to take steps to protect your meetings from unwanted intruders. Feel free to share this with others in your committee. 

- First, please note that anything in your calendar entry is publicly visible. It takes a bit of digging, but it is accessible. So you don't want to put info that will allow access to the event there, particularly passcodes. Instead, consider putting the information on accessing the meeting in a file that only team members can access or sending the details in a private message to participants before the meeting starts. For TC members using Kavi, information can be entered in an action item. Only logged in TC members have access to those.

- Always use a password if the tool allows it. Zoom allows you to set up a passcode in the security section. Teams does not but apparently you can configure access rules to hold unknown parties in a lobby until you can verify their identity. 

- If the tool allows for a waiting room or lobby area, consider using it. The 'Join before host' will not work and you, as host, will have to start the meeting before others can come in and start discussion. However, a waiting room will let you keep people you don't recognize out of your call.

- In Zoom, if the waiting room is enabled, you can click the More button to the right of a guest's name in the meeting Participants display, then select 'Put in waiting room' to send them back outside of your meeting.

- If you can collect identifying information on the intruder, we can report them to Zoom. While it may not have an immediate effect, users who abuse access to Zoom can be banned from the platform.

- According to Zoom, while in a meeting, you can report a participant for inappropriate behavior. Reported participants are removed from the meeting.

To do this:

* As the meeting host or a participant, click the meeting information icon  in the top-left corner of the window.
* In the bottom-left corner of the meeting information dialog, click the red Report link.
* Fill out the dialog box; enter the participant(s) you would like to report and the reason for reporting the person.
* If you are not currently signed in to your Zoom account, enter your email address.
* (Optional) Select the Include desktop screenshot check box to include a current screenshot of your desktop.
* Click Submit.
You will receive a notification that your report was sent successfully.

More information on responding to inappropriate behavior can be found at https://support.zoom.us/hc/en-us/articles/360042791091

No one likes having to take these sorts of precautions. But it is a fact of our modern life that we have to. We hope these suggestions help you avoid hassles. If you have any tips of your own, please send them along so that we can share them. 

Thanks & best regards,

Vacation plans

Chet Ensign
 

Greetings project chairs,

Please share this with editors or other project staff as needed.

As you are all ramping up into your fall activities, I thought I'd let you know that I will be off from Sept 13 - 27.

My email will be forwarded to Paul Knight, so nothing should fall through the cracks. Paul will also monitor the JIRA queue so that anything that comes up there is addressed (https://issues.oasis-open.org/issues/?jql=project%20%3D%20TCADMIN%20AND%20status%20in%20(Open%2C%20%22In%20Progress%22%2C%20Resolved)%20ORDER%20BY%20key%20DESC%2C%20priority%20DESC%2C%20updated%20DESC)

If you have any publication or TC-related questions, please send them to Paul at paul.knight@....

For any Open Project questions or needs, contact Claudia at claudia.rauch@....

Thanks & best regards,

The ballot to approve the charter for the Advisory Coundil has passed

Chet Ensign
 

Members of the OriginBX Open Project,

Your ballot to approve establishing the OriginBX Advisory Council has closed and passed. The ballot required at least 5 PGB members to vote 'yes.' The final result was 7 in favor and 0 against.

You can find the ballot results at https://lists.oasis-open-projects.org/g/originbx-oasis-pgb/message/16.

The project can now take the needed steps to set up the Council and invite experts to participate. Let us know how staff can assist you. 

Best,

Modifications to the Open Project Rules approved by the OASIS Board of Directors

Chet Ensign
 

Open Project PGB members and OASIS members,

At its June 29, 2021 meeting, the OASIS Board of Directors approved updates to the rules governing OASIS Open Projects (https://www.oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/open-projects-process/). Staff recommended these changes to address feedback we received from the community and our own lessons learned. The proposals were reviewed and recommended to the full Board by its Governance committee. They go into effect immediately. However, we do not anticipate these updates to have a significant impact on your ongoing project work.

Briefly:
 
In section 2, Project Formation, the project charter will now require a brief statement of purpose and a separate statement of the scope of the work. This scope statement will serve as the boundaries for the work the community intends to do. Modifications to the scope will require a Special Majority Vote by the PGB. I will provide additional information on how existing PGBs should consider whether to update their charters.

In section 16, Trademarks, part (b) which allowed a mark owner to license its use to OASIS rather than transfer it has been removed. In practice, this proved difficult to accomplish and did not convey the assurances for continued use that OASIS must provide to members, adopters, and implementers. In addition, members of the Open Projects Advisory Council advised us that transfer of trademarks is accepted practice.

You can review the specific changes in the attached red-lined PDF file.

Thank you for your ongoing work at OASIS. We appreciate all that you do. As always, feel free to contact us with any questions you have.

Locked Approve charter for Advisory Council #poll-notice #poll-result

Chet Ensign
 
Edited

Question: Please indicate below whether or not you approve the proposed charter for the OriginBX Advisory Council. 
 
 
The OriginBX Advisory Council will be experts from global tax and trade public policy setting organizations and government agencies who are invited to the council by the Project Governing Board. Their mission will be to help ensure transparent, productive collaboration between trade policy makers and industry in defining a globally universal consistent message set that will facilitate the exchange of product and trade attribute data.  
 
This electronic ballot opens on 08 July 2021 at 00:00 UTC and closes 14 July 2021 at 23:59 UTC. 
 
This ballot requires a Simple Majority Vote (> 50% of PGB members). The OriginBX PGB currently has 9 members. In order to pass, at least 5 members must vote yes. 
 
Only members of the OriginBX Project Governing Board can vote on this ballot. I currently show the following people as being on the PGB: 
 
* Todd R. Smith, KYG Trade (Chair)
* Thomas Fahey, Accenture
* Ben Stiling, Amazon
* Ken Montgomery, CompTIA
* Lisa McAuley, Global Trade Professionals Alliance (GTPA)
* Oswald Kuyler, International Chamber of Commerce
* Brian Staples, Origin Experts Group
* Srinivasan Sriram, Skuchain, Inc
* Chris Rubio, UPS
 
If you do not see your name here and you believe this to be an error, please let both the Chair and me know so that we can address the situation.
