Draft OData TC timeline

["Ram Jeyaraman (MS OPEN TECH)" <Ram.Jeyaraman@microsoft.com>]

Please find below a DRAFT TC timeline for your review. Let’s discuss and refine this, leading up to and during the F2F meeting Nov 8 and 9, 2012. The purpose of this timeline exercise is to create a map of the future milestones (based on current knowledge) and lay out a probable path for traversing the various future milestones. As with all things, there are unknowns that may stretch the timeline. For example, what if there are many public comments? What if it takes more time for the TC to address existing and as yet unknown issues? Those unknowns may stretch the timeline in terms of having to produce multiple Committee Specification Drafts until we address all the issues and feel confident to advance the Work Products to Committee Specification.

 

Thanks.
