I believe this is my initial
posting on this discussion group, so let me introduce myself
first. My name is Christopher Smith of the California Administrative
Office of the Courts. I am now the voting member for the California
AOC.
I have concerns regarding
the inconsistent structure of the ECF Court Policy Requirements. There seems to be considerable
confusion about how Court Policy, CDC, and Query-Response are interrelated. This
document appears to define elements of CDC (it shouldn't), hypothesizes a
<getPolicy> query that does not exist in the latest version of the Query
and Response specification, and includes requirements for a
publish-and-subscribe capability that isn't in any version of the EFM-CMS API
requirements document.
Additionally, there is
insufficient narrative describing the intent of each requirement and many
requirements are unclear or need further explanation. Finally, these
Requirements do not include anything substantive on conformance and
interoperability test requirements, despite the proposal for such in Salt Lake
City and the work of the Washington State contingent since then.
As I have
strong misgivings about the suitability of the document as the basis for a
useful specification, I vote to not accept it in its current
state.
