Title: Reminder for 9:00AM Pacific Time --> Today ebXML IIC Conference Call Info

All:

 

Just a 
reminder for conf call Monday - need to vote.

 

On the 
agenda:

 

- 
April f-2-f meeting logistics and phone-in option.

 

- XML 
/ Barcelona status, attendence, UN-CEFACT joint meeting

 

- 
proposal from XML Global to host a CVS repository for the group, that 
contains

detailed testing material (Matt McK. / Michael K.)

 

- 
status of activities : (1) MS conformance testing, (2) implementation 
guidelines.

 

- 
possible press-release planned from OASIS announcing next IIC outputs (we need 
to

commit 
on some deliverable date.)

 

- two items in "orders of the day", for the TC to agree on 
 (not motions, as the chair cannot make "motions" I was 
reminded):

 

1. The creation of other 
IIC Conformance sub-group in addition 
to Messaging (CTTFs for CPPA, 
RegRep...) 

and the opening of these CTTFs to 1 or 2 subject 
matter experts from the relevant 
TC, to help define conformance tests 

for its 
specification. This means that, in case these experts do not become -or are not- full IIC members 

(though they could) and don't 
vote on output documents, 
we still recognize their authority in 
*helping* us define 

and author test cases for their 
respective specs. (Note: I checked with Karl Best on the feasibility of such 
cross-teams.

That is OK, knowing that members who remain "external" to IIC cannot vote on the IIC output and process.) 

So, if this resolution is adopted, the CTTFs accept the 
involvment of these experts (to be named by their TC) and 

will operate in such a way that the input from these experts 
is reasonably taken into account, as 
they may not

want 
to become IIC member for such a transient contribution.

 

2. The undertaking of an MS 
Interoperability effort, in parallel with MS Conformance and MS Implementation 
Guidelines.

Please see the details of the mission 
of the MS Interoperability Testing Task Force, attached.

Part of the resolution is also a timing requirement (that 
would test the team's committment...) :

Given the expertise IIC already has 
on this topic, a first version of the team's ouput (spec for test 
cases

and operating guidelines) must be 
ready by end of May 2002.

Also, setting-up this team should not 
be detrimental to other current activities, staffwise...

If this resolution is adopted, an MS Interoperability 
team would be set-up, *only* if it finds members who fulfill these 
conditions...

 

regards,

 

Jacques Durand

IIC 
chair
