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
