Regrets: 6/14 Meeting in Paris

["John Evdemon" <john.evdemon@xmls.com>]

I am afraid that I will be unable to attend this 
meeting.  Please accept my apologies.  Do I need 
to appoint a proxy?  
Will there be any dial-in or remote 
presentations offered?

Thanks!

Subject: conformance TC - Paris agenda


Hello all

As you know we will have an Introductory Meeting 
in Paris, the afternoon of June 14.  The time is 
not yet set (any preferences?).  I will post the 
time and room location soon.  

Below is the proposed Agenda.  Please email me 
any comments or additions.  

Agenda 
Introductions
Discussion of purpose 
Discussion of deliverables
--White papers on conformance topics
--Guidelines for submitting tests to OASIS
--Test methodologies
Relationship to other groups
--EbXML
--W3C
--Other OASIS committees
Review draft outline on Guideline on submitting 
tests 
New topics

I will draft and circulate an outline for the 
Guideline on Submitting Tests to OASIS prior to 
Paris.  Basically there are 3 cases in which 
members have or may want to donated conformance 
tests to OASIS - a) donate tests at the start of 
a new effort (e.g., XSLT, XML), b) donate tests 
after a test suite has been released (e.g., 
XML), c) donate a completed test suite for which 
there isn't interest in forming a new OASIS TC 
(e.g., DOM?)
Our idea is that for all these cases, there 
should be some ground rules, e.g., all tests 
should be run on several different platforms - 
this helps to ensure that the tests are 
independent of the implementation and helps to 
check the correctness of the tests.  

regards
Lynne
