My own, personal view as a BPSS participant is that a separate project may not be necessary. I also thought a proposal was in the works, and Karsten and I had talked a bit about what it might contain. However, I note that in 1.0, the BPSS revision process often became the focal point for big-picture model changes, in parallel and unconnected sequence with other groups doing model-relevant work. Note: Inclusion of a change into the BPSS is the ultimate imprimatur available to the standard owner -- now EBTWG. To the extent a "BPSS" group makes a modelling change without coordination with another BP function, ultimately the work of that other function is made irrelevant. This is not a good thing, if we regard the domains of each approved group as genuine. To put it a different way, whoever gatekeeps the BPSS will effectively become the QA arbiter for most other ebTWG work. Sop I suggest that we either (1) have no BPSS group (leaving technical changes to editors appointed by ebTWG exec, whatever it is), or (2) approve a small-scale technical-changes only group project fro 1.1, which explicitly excludes material changes to models and objects. In other words, do what CPPA is doing, and put out a good, stable 1.1 which simply fixes any holes in 1.0. Let the substantive groups -- monitored commitments, BSI, etc. -- work the big picture issues with their domain-specific experts for a while, before getting into a pitched discussion of what 2.0 should be. If I not see a proposal like this in 24 hours, then unless I get a plurality of e-mail messages telling me this is a dumb idea, I will submit one to Klaus and this EBTWG list. I don't want Dave and Jim to feel lonely. Regards Jamie James Bryce Clark VP and General Counsel McLure Moynihan Inc.
