Policy source registry
Every authoritative OASIS policy this handbook draws on, with its authority level and effective date. When this handbook and a policy ever disagree, the policy governs.
| Source | Authority | Effective |
|---|---|---|
| OASIS Member Resources | Best current practice | ongoing |
| OASIS TC Handbook: Public Reviews Defines the comment resolution log and its required columns (anchor #commentResolutionLog). No canonical blank template exists at a fixed OASIS URL (verified 2026-06-05 by raw-HTML grep); the log is a per-spec deliverable named <spec>-<stage>-comment-resolution-log.{xls,pdf,md}. The example below predates Naming Directives v1.7 and uses the retired csprd abbreviation in its path and filename; under current naming the same artifact would be <spec>-csd01-comment-resolution-log. It is cited for the column structure, not the naming: https://docs.oasis-open.org/etmf/etmf/v1.0/csprd01/etmf-v1.0-csprd01-comment-resolution-log.xls | Best current practice | ongoing |
