Update from LSC - OpenCSA Steering Committee (StC) Proposed Agenda - 15 August 2008

[Jeff Mischkinsky <jeff.mischkinsky@oracle.com>]

Hi,
    The LSC call today discussed the milestones and schedule based  
upon feedback and discussion in the TCs. I'm pasting here, the current  
proposal, which is slightly different than the version Mike has in the  
draft agenda. The main difference is adding a new milestone -  
Incorporate RFC 2119 language, which was judged to be important and  
difficult enough that it was worthy of being highlighted -- and adding  
some language to give TCs some flexibility.

I also have a comment on the 2nd proposal, see below.

 From the draft minutes of today's LSC call:

The following proposal for milestones and schedule is applicable SCA
related TCs only.

Proposed list of milestones:
- Incorporate RFC 2119 language for specifications
- No new issue deadline
- All issues resolved
- All issues incorporated
  <Criteria for starting the 1st PR - a> close all the open issues
(unresolved issues may be closed by deferring to future release) and b>
include conformance statement (required by OASIS TC process anyways)>

- 1st public review
- Testing completion
- New issues from PR and testing resolution
- New issues incorporated
- 2nd public review
  <Possibly another round of updates to specs and PR>
- Approval of Committee spec
- Submission for OASIS standard

Proposed Schedule for key milestones:
Sep 15, 2008 - Raise the bar for opening new issues (for all TCs)
Sep 29, 2008 - Incorporate RFC 2119 language
Nov 15, 2008 - Detailed design for testing work
Jan 23, 2009 - Assembly TC to start 1st Public Review (60 day)
Feb 23, 2009 - Other TCs to start 1st Public Review (60 day)
May 31, 2009 - Finish all the work
July 4, 2008 - Submit specs to OASIS for OS vote

Each TC may choose to adjust the proposed schedule as per its needs,
however it is highly recommended that all the TCs meet the proposed
deadline for starting the first Public Review (Jan 23^rd , 2009 for the
Assembly TC, and Feb 23^rd 2009 for the rest of the TCs).

Both Sanjay and myself are co-chairs of LSC. I think that should be  
adequate to represent the LSC in Steering Comm meetings. I don't think  
there is any need to  have "the LSC" come to St Comm calls. :-)
