(a late) Call for Consensus

OVAL Community,

A current issue exists in the OVAL Community repository (link: herehttps://github.com/OVAL-Community/OVAL/issues/23) which documents a number of schematron issues and false positives resulting from those issues.  A fix has been made and pull request created (link: herehttps://github.com/OVAL-Community/OVAL/pull/78).  CIS has reviewed the changes and is satisfied they resolve the issues, and therefore this message intends to begin the formal consensus call for merging the changes into the "development" branch of the OVAL language repository; moving it along in the process.

Since the PR has existed in the repository for a couple of weeks now, I am going to set a 1-week deadline on this consensus call.  If no objections exist by Friday, May 31, 2019, the PR will be merged.  Please examine the issue and the PR and raise objections or voice approval in the comments area of the pull request.

Thanks very much for your time,
-Bill M.

Dear OVAL Community,

An issue was recently identified with the macOS OVAL Schema:
https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/PMbECjRgE7iLOvjCWCYvn?domain=github.com

And, a fix has been made and Pull Request created:
https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/_DbACkRjG9iVwpnIV17tm?domain=github.com
