OpenCSA Liason Committee Update - project management

[David Booz <booz@us.ibm.com>]

The OpenCSA Liason TC (which coordinates cross TC aspects of the OpenCSA
member section) has been meeting to discuss topics related to project
management of the 1st round of SCA specs.  While neither of the Policy TC
chairs were present for the last Liason telecon, I have gleaned from the
draft minutes of that meeting that the following recommendations are (or
will be) forth coming WRT target dates which we can use to march toward an
eventual OS for SCA Policy.



Tentative dates for key milestones:
Sep 15, 2008 - Raise the bar for opening new issues (for all TCs)
Nov 15, 2008 - Detailed design for testing work
Jan 23, 2009 - Assembly TC to start 1st Public Review (60 day)
Feb 23, 2009 - Other TCs to start 1st Public Review (60 day)
May 31, 2009 - Finish all the work
July 4, 2008  - Submit specs to OASIS for OS vote


This email is informational. The chairs will put this item on the agenda
for Aug 18 (because we haven't had time to discuss this ourselves).

thanks
