Hi John, Dan,

The new LI-XML project providing an interface for
integrated subscriber information lookups continues
to get considerable traction.  It should really
demonstrate the value of the LI-XML work and OASIS,
and serve as the first deliverable.  The original
attempt to take on everything but the kitchen sink
in parallel was overwhelming and not working.

I've attached the latest stable project description
as well as the great reply of Ram Kumar and the
assistance of the CIQ TC.  As you can see, we
can gain enormous leverage from the work CIQ
has done.  There are also bits and pieces from
a few other TCs that can be imported.  About
the only thing we'll need to add are data elements
unique to communications data retention systems.

What's particularly nice about the CIQ work is its
built-in accommodation of worldwide requirements,
as well as substantial global participation.

If fully implemented, the LI-XML integrated subscriber
production request specification could save
communication service providers hundreds
of millions a year, and law enforcement agencies
millions of hours a year in time spend re-entering
subscriber and call record data.

I would like to proceed in two steps.  The first
is to work with Ram and the subscriber management
collection system vendors in a small drafting group
to get a draft spec developed.  Some liaison with
other TC chairs seems appropriate - perhaps John
can handle that.  We can then introduce it within
LI-XML committee and full vet the draft to gain
approval and adoption.

Does this seem like an acceptable plan?

best,
tony
