Hi David,

I am so very sorry for a tardy reply.

I totally agree with you. Let's get started!

Hi Michel,

In response to your questions:

>> why would we have Load Generating Organization, Generation Operator,
and Local Generation System?

I don't know that we should.  My favorite book on use cases is Writing
Effective Use Cases by Alistair Cockburn.  He advocates a hierarchy of
use cases from Summary ("cloud/kite"), User Goal (sea-level), and
Sub-function (underwater).  

Different DR groups start at different levels.  I listed each level to
provoke the conversation about what level of actor we should document.

>> Secondly, in your view, do you think we should also come up with
organizational use cases as well?

I lean toward starting at the highest level that makes sense. For
businesses, I find it easier to say that the organization has a goal
rather than to make assumptions about how any particular company
executes these goals / delegates the goal.  

What do you think?

Best Regards,
Dave

Hi David,

This is excellent and quite comprehensive. I know this document is the
starting point but I just want to make sure I understand the reasoning
behind your categorization. For instance, why would we have Load
Generating Organization, Generation Operator, and Local Generation
System? 

Secondly, in your view, do you think we should also come up with
organizational use cases as well?

With kind regards,

Hello All,

Please review and markup the linked document.

I took an action to make a strawman list of the actors that will make
appearances in our use cases.  I include at the bottom a cross-reference
to
the OpenADR 1.0 actors/roles.

I have posted this document as a starting point for us to decide which
actors are imporant to us.  I aired on the side of including as many as
I
could think of.

There is no pride of ownership here because this is a very rough
strawman
to move us forward.  Please edit mercilessly.

Again, thank you for reviewing and commenting on/marking-up the attached
prior to next week's meeting. 

Regards,
Dave

p.s. Note that you can use the OASIS document comment feature to make
overall comments.

p.p.s. Many thanks to the OpenADR contributors for their patience with
us
as we disassemble & reassemble something that they worked on so
dilegently.
