Hi,
Three new documents for your
attention regarding the SOA-RAF
Firstly, a new draft
– WD07 dated 8 May - this incorporates:
- all
the minor edits (which are considered accepted
and are no longer tracked – but see note 3
below);
- all
the more substantial edits, with sidebar
comments indicating the respective Issue
number(s) addressed;
- several
new figures;
- indications
(in sidebar comments) of other changes still
required – often minor updates of figures to
align with text already agreed in the SC.
Note: We will continue to
note issue resolution against the July 2011
Public Review document – but any discussion in
the SC from hereon in should use the structures,
section numbers and line numbers of this new
WD07 – this will ensure that we remain –
literally – on the same page in further
discussions. Please use the pdf version
of WD07 when making further comments in meetings
or on the list. (We will load the Word version
to Kavi asap).
Secondly, a fully
updated Issues List. This has grown over the
last months, inevitably, as a working tool for
the editors. Ken and I have restructured this
and worked through the whole thing on several
passes and present what we hope is a simplified
view of what is done, what is recommended, and
what remains open. Three new columns appear in
the spreadsheet:
Column B indicates the status
of the respective issue:
- Green
indicates that the issue is closed – this
covers many minor edits, typos, alignment of
terms etc. Many of these minor edits are no
longer tracked in the document (see note 3
below)
- Yellow
indicates our recommendations for issues that
should now be closed, either because they are
the result of exhaustive consensus, are also
minor edits, or are redundant (OBE) – we
propose: if no objections are given in the
next (week?), that these issues are closed
- Red
indicates an issues which has been dealt with
in our discussions but which still requires
some further work – such as updating a figure.
We consider the issue to be “dealt with” but
we all need just to be sure that the remaining
edits are forthcoming
- Blue
indicates an open issue that requires further
discussion and/or a decision from the SC.
Columns O and P have been
added to provide further information on that
small number of issues that are not closed (red
or blue in col B)
For each issue, all details
of the original comment, suggested edits,
discussion, etc have been kept. A green cell –
in column I or further to the right - will
indicate the end/resolution of the consideration
of that issue.
Thirdly, we have
updated the short table circulated two weeks
ago, indicating the list of issues that are
closed and no longer tracked within the working
document – this provides a “due diligence” check
for minor edits.
I think we can see the finish
line….
All the best – and enjoy.
Talk to you on the call later
