Establish OpenC2 Technical Committee (TC) Working Call and Temporary Suspension of Implementation Considerations Subcommittee

[<duncan@sfractal.com>]

The IC-SC included open source implementations in it's scope. How will that be handled while IC-SC is on hold?

Is there a date or milestone  or amount of contributions that will be the point at which the IC-SC is reconvened?

I presume this action is the result of the requests made at the last TC meeting (overlap, too many meetings). Was it discussed at the IC-SC meeting (I confess I missed the last one)? Ie is this a decision by the IC-SC or the TC?

While on hold, is it still possible to advance topics thru contributions/googledocs/email/slack/wiki/discourse/etc or does suspension mean hold off on anything? Ie is it the SC being suspended or just the meetings?

OpenC2 Technical Committee,

The implementation considerations effort is important, but is premature at this time. The Implementation Considerations Subcommittee will be temporarily suspended to allow the TC members to focus their efforts towards the further refinement of the OpenC2 language and actuator profiles.

In lieu of the monthly Implementation Considerations subcommittee meeting at 1300 ET on the 1st Wednesday of the month, we will hold a TC-wide Working Call in its place. The TC-wide Working Call gives members the opportunity to get a deeper understanding of the activities of the subcommittees, to ask questions, and to provide feedback.

The first OpenC2 TC Working Call will be on December 6, 2017 @ 1300 ET. The OpenC2 TC Working Call @ 1300 ET is analogous to the 2100 ET call currently being held on the 1st Wednesday of the month for our members in the Asia Pacific region who are unable to participate in the subcommittees due to time zone differences. These meetings do not count towards voting rights.

The decision to put the Implementation Considerations Subcommittee (IC-SC) on hiatus is in no way a reflection of subcommittee. The IC-SC addresses lessons learned from implementations, provides guidance, and addresses matters that are external to the OpenC2 language and profile specifications. It is logical to put the IC-SC on hiatus while the language and actuator profiles are being codified and until there are additional prototype implementations.

The Language Subcommittee and the Actuator Profile Subcommittee are doing excellent work and making progress. These subcommittees will continue drafting, deliberating, achieving general consensus at the SC level, and providing recommendations to the TC.

Thank you for your time and consideration in this matter. A series of calendar invitations will follow shortly.

Very Respectfully,


Sounil Yu,
Joe Brule
