Subject: Can we just make a little bit of progress?


I'd like to offer a perspective, and this is in response to nobody in particular.


STIX 2.0 was kicked off on October 21, which is about ~5 weeks of work time (subtracting the US Thanksgiving holiday week). Since then, topics under discussion have included from sightings, the indicator type vocabulary, an MTI discussion (which is currently under a TC-wide vote), relationships, and timestamps. From what I can see, the ONLY topic we seem to be anywhere near reaching a conclusion on is the MTI discussion because it's resolution was motioned.


I hope I surprise nobody when I say that the outsider perspective of our TC, and this SC in particular, is that we debate topics endlessly and never reach a conclusion on them. I challenge everyone to change this perception. Can we please drive resolution on some of the topics we've discussed? Can some design artifacts be updated with the current state of the discussion? 


By now we should have an updated STIX 2.0 architecture with Relationships and possibly Sightings broken out into their own top level objects. Other bits and pieces should also be documented by now. We seem to have a rough consensus on how timestamps should work (as Bret called out yesterday) - where can that be documented?


We should have a model that is malleable and gets updated on a regular basis as we discuss topics, decide things, and change previous decisions (yes, we are allowed to do that!). How can we do that?


I find the endless debate tiring, and it discourages me from participating. I want my contributions to help push us toward resolution of issues, not add to the cacophony of opinions. If we go back to before the STIX 2.0 kickoff, this SC has been at it for 5+ months - what topics have we resolved?


Can we just make a little bit of progress?


Thank you.

-Mark
