Subject: RE: [tgf] Issue 32 - Interoperability - open
I agree with Chris's wording. I take the point that there may in some very limited cases be examples where use of open standards is not possible, so a blanket “we will” may not be feasible. Nevertheless, this is such an important issue that I’d like to see something stronger than Andy’s suggestion of “prefer”. How about the following formulation: “Interoperability: Wherever possible we will use interoperable, open standards which are well supported in the market-place.” Chris Parker Managing Partner, CS Transform Ltd, +44 7951 754 060 From: Peter F Brown [mailto:peter@peterfbrown.com] John raised the question regarding wording at line 317: does the TC agree with the change from “will” to “preference”? The revised wording was proposed by Andy in his review of the Critical Success Factors and following his informal poll of TC members’ opinions on the CSF’s. The main argument seems to be that in the absence of suitable open standards for a particular functional problem, we cannot mandate such an approach in the Framework. We should nonetheless give priority/preference to interoperable, open-standards. Comments?
