To: Springboard ECF Initiative Team From: Scott Serich, IJIS Institute Project Manager All - Thanks for the very productive call yesterday. I've provided some minutes below. But before getting to that, I want to re-emphasize the point that Jim Cabral made at the start of the call. The ECF Specification is now open for voting. The member ballot for it to become an approved OASIS Standard will remain open through May 23. Participation is critical, as 49 affirmative votes are required to approve. So if your organization
is an OASIS member, please be sure that it registers its vote before the voting closes. The announcement can be found at
https://www.oasis-open.org/news/announcements/call-to-vote-ballot-for-oasis-standard-electronic-court-filing-v4-01.

Chris Traver Let me know if you need to get in touch with anybody and I’ll send them your contact info for possible follow up. I want to try to avoid inducing any SPAM. Here are the minutes. I hope nobody minds the informal format. I decided to avoid using our internal IJIS collaboration tool since many participants don’t have access. Let’s use plain old email and see how it goes. 1.
The first item of business was Jim Cabral’s announcement of the good news from OASIS regarding the vote. See the comments above for details. 2.
I hope I didn't temper any of the product vendor’s enthusiasm with all my precautions regarding the (very small) likelihood of disqualification.
a.
Though it’s unlikely to occur, a mistake in this regard could be irreversible. So I want to ensure that we steer clear.
b.
Frankly, the risk is probably minimal for any participation that comes in the form of questions and suggestions, so feel free to voice these. 3.
The team walked through the PowerPoint deck “Springboard ECF Kickoff”, dated May 9, including several visits to the Word document “PMIX SCP for ECF demo” for illustration.
a.
Reviewed the SCP document from the 1st (PMIX) Springboard Initiative to get an idea of what the primary ECF Conformance Package will contain, including derived requirements, conformance test suites, and results.
b.
The ECF test case themselves will likely probe transport capabilities, schema validity, and business rules.
c.
Showed an excerpt from the Process Model figure (p.25 of the Core Spec) indicating 13 round trip exchanges. This could lead to as many as 52 suites of test cases, though some reduction may result by eliminating duplicate suites.
d.
An MDE message receiver is required to return an immediate, synchronous response message (per Core Spec line 355). Jim clarified that (as was the case for PMIX) this synchronous response message may not necessarily be identical across
the 13 transactions portrayed in the Process Model diagram (dashed arrows). 4.
Jim also clarified that the ECF TC would be very interested in hearing what the participants think about any issues raised during the initiative.
a.
So the protocol to be followed when any issues are raised will be to first put them before the initiative participants (including the ECF TC reps) for peer-level discussion.
b.
In particular, if there are differing interpretations as to the meaning of any language in the spec, initiative team members will be given an opportunity to voice and defend their positions. 5.
Future calls will be held every other Thursday from 4:00 to 5:00pm Eastern Time. The next call will be held May 23. 6.
The primary goal of the next call will be to review an outline of the ECF Service Conformance Package.
a.
A status update on the Test Harness will also be provided. Thanks. ===== Scott Serich, PhD, JD Senior Project Manager, IJIS Institute 44983 Knoll Square, Ashburn, VA 20147-2692 703.283.3432
