Re: [opencsa-sc] Confidential OASIS press release: SCA

Carol

Thank you for sharing the draft press
release; some comments from myself:

1) At a late stage in the charter submission
process, there was a change of conveners agreed with Mary. Thus please
substitute "Bryan Aupperle" with "Pete Robbins" and
"Henning Blohm" with "Sanjay Patil". The company names
remain unchanged.

2) One of the key attributes of the
SCA technoligy is its flexibility, so could you please change line 3 to
"SCA defines a flexible model...."

3) An important aspect of SCA which
is missing from the SCA-descriptive paragraph (#4) is the ability to declare
policies. We suggest a couple of minor additions to address this aspect:
The SCA model encompasses a wide
range of technologies for service components, access methods that connect
them and policy that
provides declarative qualities of service.
 For components, this .... For access methods, ...  For
policy, this includes a framework for integrating commonly used policy
languages and quality of service expressions.

4) These charters are following the
Member Section requirement of developing test plans & test cases in
order to improve the levels of future conformance of implementations. Given
that this is a new, but key move by OASIS TCs, I recommend that we highlight
it in the press release in a short paragraph before Jamie's quotation.
As a starting point, I suggest:
In order to assist the production of conformant
implementations, the Technical Committees will also develop a Test Plan,
Test Cases and Scenarios for each specification.

5) In order to be consistent with the
short names of each TC, I recommend inserting a hyphen after each occurence
of SCA in the first two paragraphs that refer to the TCs (SCA-Assembly,
SCA-Policy, SCA-Bindings, SCA-BPEL). In the third of the paragraphs, please
rename the "SCA-C" TC to "SCA-C-C++".

Thanks. (I've copied <opencsa-ms>
as the Steering Committee have a policy of doing all business on this more
open mailing list, rather than <opencsa-sc>.)
