Subject: RE: [opencsa-ms] Proposed - OpenCSA Steering Committee (StC)Proposed Agenda - 10 July 2009,



Sure. I think we can ask the TC chairs to provide the following information:

For each deliverable specification -
- What is the current status of the specification (CD, CS, PR, etc)?
- What is the remaining amount of work in terms of number of open issues, estimated time to resolve, etc?
- What is the status of testing (Test Assertions complete, Test Case complete, In PR, etc)?
- What is the estimated timeline of completing the testing work?
- How many compliant implementations do you expect to become available before finalization of the specification? Which ones are they?
- Are there any concerns regarding the completion of the spec work which the SC should be aware of and can help with?
- Are there any issues that require coordination with the other TCs via the Liaison Subcommittee?


Anything else we would like to know?

Based on the TC chairs' replies, we can decide whether a coordination via LSC calls is warranted or not!

Best wishes,
Sanjay

Just to be clear, the update should cover all the dimensions of "how close is the TC to exit status?" This would include status and estimated future timeline of the spec, testing, availability of compliant implementations, and anything else related.

Regards, David
