Indeed. I serve on the DMTF Board of Directors. The work of the
DMTF is not public at certain stages and we should be careful to respect that.

Be sure to remember that any/all OASIS work is always
publicly viewable; if there is something happening within another organization
that is private to that group, posting it / sharing it in any way with TC
members will make it public. In other words, if it's private they shouldn't
tell us about it :)

I’m assuming there are no issues with communicating notes of
TC/WG meetings via saf email list?
In fact, I would think in the interest of transparency this
would be strongly recommended, so long as we are sensitive to privacy requirements
of the other SDO working group.

Liaison with DMTF CMWG [PLEASE RESPOND BY 9/17]
Before you get too far involved in the process,
the TC can agree to a TC -> WG relationship; it doesn't require an
Org-to-org level process (which requires Board action).
Typically the easiest way to facilitate this is
to have at least one member in common who reports to each of the committees on
the happenings of the other.
Mary
This looks good. Thanks for pulling together.
I don't have any suggestions.

Subject: [saf] TC Liaison with DMTF CMWG [PLEASE RESPOND BY 9/17]
Hi all,
In reference to the Work Register document we are developing, I've taken a OASIS
liaison policy (1) and I believe we need to bring our request to liaison to the
President (If your reading of the policy is different please let me know.). I'd
like to suggest the follow answers to the questions we are supposed to answer.
Please respond with your feedback before 9/17.
If there is no objection, around the 18th or so, I will send it off to the
President along with a copy of the latest Work Register draft cc to the chairs
or the entire TC, whatever folks suggest.
Please respond with your suggestions by 9/17. I cannot attend the next SAF
call. Please contact me if there are any concerns or whatever that come out of
that call.
REQUEST TO OASIS PRESIDENT:
* Who is the other organization, what do they do, and what
is the nature of the relationship suggested? (e.g. is it suggested that OASIS
join the other organization and at what level, or vice versa.)
[Paul} This would be a liaison relationship between the OASIS SAF TC and the
DMTF Cloud Management WG (CMWG).
* What are the benefits to OASIS of this relationship? What are
the goals of OASIS in the relationship?
[Paul] The SAF TC is developing a Cloud-Specific Profile that will reference
the interfaces and model being developed by the CMWG as predefined Actions
within the SAF catalog. The DMTF may be willing to promote this joint work in a
press release and elsewhere.
* Which particular activities (technical committees, member
sections, etc.) at OASIS would be affected by the relationship? What effect
will it have on them, and what level of involvement should be expected from
them?
[Paul] At a high level, in addition to the identification of additional use
cases that support both our models, the SAF TC hopes to obtain valuable
guidance and feedback from the CMWG on the proper definitions needed for SAF
Catalog Actions to align with CMWG interfaces as well as potential Symptom
definitions for Cloud Providers. Additionally, we'd like to jointly produce a
white paper that defines the SAF Profile and how it works with CMWG interfaces.
Additional details are provided in the DMTF Work Register document draft
provided.
* What are the benefits to the other organization of this
relationship? What are the goals of the other organization in the relationship?
[Paul] SAF provides a collaborative, automation knowledge framework to the
lower-level granularity of CMWG interfaces that would potentially enable
SAF-aware DMTF-enabled clouds to better serve their customers, providing
greater agility and business/IaaS alignment.
* What is the risk of negative impact on OASIS?
[Paul] Other than the usual risks of failure associated with any such technical
collaboration, none are apparent.
* What liaison representation would OASIS be expected to send?
[Paul] The SAF TC already has several members from multiple companies that also
serve in the CMWG. Liaison between the groups would be natural and easy. No
additional participation from OASIS staff is required.
* What are the costs, obligations, and responsibilities to OASIS
and/or its TCs?
[Paul] Outside of the deliverables and potentially providing a press quote, we
don't see any.
