Title: RE: Proposed F2F #3 Agenda
hi -
it's probably a good idea to have at least a brief report by conformance subgroup on Monday, so that any issues related to conformance could be included in the 5pm review/categorization of open issues? Perhaps we can just go with the 4:30-5 slot, with the following list of topics:
- Conformance Clause v0.005, especially the recommendation on "Conformance Partitions" and mandatory/optional elements within each partition.
- Recommendation regarding distinction of validation and certification of conformance.
- Conformance Program V0.004, especially preliminary recommendation regarding test groups/cases.
- Test tools and mechanisms applicable to conformance testing.
Each of these would be presented with the idea of identitying issues, rather than resolving them...
The additional hour on Tuesday was the result of interest in exploring the last of these four topics in more detail. However, since only a subset of the TC is likely to be interested, perhaps we could do that over lunch on Tuesday with anyone who wants to join in?
regards,
bob

(Note that we won't be able to approve minutes if we don't have quorum...)

I think these could use 15-20 minutes each, and this could allow for a few
minutes to *collect* (not discuss) issues that haven't already been
captured in the issues list.

This could maybe be two 10-to-15-minute presentations, one for Phill and
one for me/Dave. Could show both sides of the coin, and would still leave
a bit of time to *collect* (not discuss) questions.

Do we really need two portions? I would try to get them all in the same slot.
>5:00 - 5:30 Categorizing and ranking of open issues
I'd rather use this time for pushing through more
assertion/request/response discussions. I think we should allow ourselves
to get through only one of them by the end of the first day, and if we do
it faster, great.

I will post more information on this today.

I'd like to have a discussion about schedule specifics. If we've gotten
into a good groove at this meeting, we may be able to map out, with a bit
more accuracy, when each part of the draft will be stable.
