All,
A reorganization of the subcommittees was proposed during the January 2020 TC meeting. The purpose of this email is to present the resolution, provide background information and initiate deliberations on the topic. Once the deliberations are complete,
Dave Lemire will generate an electronic ballot in accordance with the direction provided by the TC during the February TC meeting.
NOTE: Review the deliberations and if you believe that I did not capture the point correctly in the summary of the deliberations then provide the correction and/or provide additional points. If there is an error, then accept that it was an honest mistake
on my part.
FURTHER NOTE: SLACK messages are not available to all our members. I will attempt to transfer any SLACK messages to the oasis email relay, but it is preferred if you use this email as the medium for deliberations.
RESOLVED: The OpenC2 Technical Committee shall form a new subcommittee to be known as the ‘Language and Architecture Subcommittee’. Upon formation of the new subcommittee, the ‘Language Subcommittee’ and the ‘Implementation Considerations Subcommittee’
shall transfer their activities to the new subcommittee.
· Background
- A proposal to transfer the activities of the LSC and ICSC to a new SC was proposed during the January Monthly TC
- The general consensus was to revisit the issue after the Plug Fest and email deliberations
- Objections were raised during the February Monthly TC meeting.
- There was general consensus with the approach of continuing the deliberations via email and upon conclusion of the email deliberations a decision will be made via electronic ballot.
· After the Plug Fest, the proposed new subcommittee was brought up via email.
- The net effect is to combine the LSC and ICSC into a single subcommittee
- The AP SC will maintain its current tempo and leadership
- Objections to the proposal were made known via email on Feb 18, 2020.
· Summary of Deliberations
- Level of effort required to revise and maintain is substantially less than the initial draft
- The scope of the LSC and IC-SC are at a 'systems' or ‘architectural’ level while the scope of the AP-SC is at a 'component' level therefore logical to combine the 'system' or 'architectural' tasks in one subcommittee
and the 'component' tasks in a separate subcommittee
- The results of the Plug Fest seem to validate the proposal in that the vast majority of the issues identified were component level
- Should retain separate subcommittees to retain their focus and maintain separation of concerns
- Several (structured) subcommittees permit attendees to focus their attention on their areas of interest and expertise and avoid diluting the meeting.
- Rebuttal to the statement AGAINST
- Rebuttal to the statement FOR
- The reduced workload is more appropriately addressed by changing the cadence of the meeting rather than broaden the scope of the subcommittee.
- Do not agree that the current Language and IC-SC are more similar to each other, in fact [one individual] thinks that the AP-SC has more in common with the LSC than the IC-SC.
