STEP 1: Proposing a Change to the SPASE Schema
- Submit a written proposal to spase@groups.io prior to the monthly SPASE meeting. Your proposal should include:
- Enumeration list additions:
- Name of the enumeration list
- Proposed new term and its definition
- Enumeration list changes:
- Name of the enumeration list
- Old definition
- Proposed new definition
- Schema additions:
- An explanation of the addition and how it will benefit the SPASE schema
- A definition of new terms and the cardinalities -- whether it should be required or optional, and if it should be repeatable.
- Schema changes:
- An explanation of the change and how it will benefit the SPASE schema
- A definition for the changes and, if applicable, the change to the cardinalities
STEP 2: Discussion and Initial Vote
- The proposal will be discussed at the next available SPASE meeting. Following the SPASE meeting, a voting form will be created and sent to the SPASE Group for voting.
- Pollers have the option of "yes", "no", or "maybe".
- Those who vote "maybe" should detail any concerns in a provided text box.
- Those who are ambivalent about their answer should abstain from voting.
STEP 3: Vote Summary
- At the next SPASE meeting, the vote will be discussed.
- If the vote does not pass unanimously, the concerns will be discussed. The proposal will either remain as is, or there may be modifications.
- If all are in agreement, a verbal vote will take place. At this point, the pass threshold will be 80%*
- *80% based on the average of the last 3 SPASE meetings
STEP 4: Changes are Implemented According to the Minor Schema Change Schedule.
