I would like to bring attention to the broader community on Section 4 of the attached proposal that Pat sent out.
Specifically “fees”.
Unless I’m mistaken, this is a *significant* issue that needs to be discussed before we move forward with any such proposal.
This proposal is effectively going to cost the industry members a significant amount of money for testing by a 3rd party organization that is not even involved in CTI.

Subject: [cti-interoperability] CTI TC <> UNH-IOL Partnership Evaluation - Read Ahead Documents
Overview
We are exploring the viability of a partnership between UNH-IOL and the OASIS CTI TC to fast-track the development of a suite of Interoperability and conformance tools and processes. Initial investigation reveals
solid synergies with the existing UNH-IOL Frameworks (i.e., UNH-IOL IMPACT) and the elements of CTI –TC Specifications. The process underway here is to define the requirements and key elements of a full suite of OASIS CTI TC Standards Interoperability and
Compliance Testing Framework and Service (again UNH-IOL IMPACT is a good reference model). We need to help INH-IOL make the business case to establish the market potential for UNH-IOL to recover their investments in delivering such capabilities. UNH-IOL
efforts are ultimately funded through membership fees, testing services, and software licensing. To codify the level of interest in the proposed Testing Framework, the CTI TC needs to provide Letters of Intent from stakeholders in the Vendor Community.
