RE: [wsbpel] Proposed liaison with CEFACT BPWG BCF effort

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

Dave, 
Sorry I didn't get a chance to respond
sooner - you may take this as formal notification that the WS BPEL TC has
approved a liaison with the CEFACT BPWG BCF effort and that Tony has graciously
agreed to be our representative.    We did discuss the point
that our liaison should not be an active member of your group and Tony
felt this was acceptable if you agreed.

Hi Tony, 
Haven’t heard from you in
a while! Missed you on the BPSS calls.
I am still waiting for a formal
message back from Diane or John, as the BPEL Chairs, but I will take your
word you got stuck (sorry elected J)
with the Liaison role from the BPEL side. From my side we have yet to announce
the liaison for the TMG, so in the meantime just use me till I can delegate
the role.
 
Just one thing, they/Diane-John
did tell you that if you accept the role (to represent BPEL) we agreed
each liaison would not be an active member in the other team; which means
you become just (stay?) an observer on the UN/CEFACT side. I know you have
been active in the TMG so I really hate to see you move over, but I’m
happy for the BPEL TC’s gain.
 
The Liaison will between TMG
and BPEL, group to group level, but on our side we will be focusing much
of the liaison information on the BCF (which is the new UN/CEFACT brand
name for the full UMM). Of course we’ll keep you informed of all the TMG
work. More detailed BCF information to follow.
 
Thanks
-Dave

Dear Dave,
 
Greetings to you - I hope you
are keeping well.  You may have already heard, but just to let you
know, if not, the OASIS WSBPEL Technical Committee approved the motion
mentioned below at their meeting today (20 Aug 03).  After voting
to establish this liaison with the UN/CEFACT TMG BPWG BCF group they then
voted unanimously for me to be that liaison person.  (You may well
doubt my sanity for volunteering!!)
 
I will take a read of the overview
document mentioned below to get an idea of what it is about.  Do you
have any other material I should take a look at (draft spec or anything
else?).  As you know I have some familiarity with UMM etc. but I have
been out of the loop for awhile and BCF is a new term to grapple with!
 
Is there a separate email list
for BCF work I should join?  Is the group holding conference calls
- if so when is the next one and I will try to join in - or more broadly
how is the work of the group being progressed and what are the meeting
schedules?

Best Regards,

Tony

The liaison subgroup met with the chair of the CEFACT BPWG group, Dave Walsh, last week to discuss a potential liaison with the Business Collaboration Framework (BCF) effort in that group.   I've posted an overview of BCF that John Evedemon on our web site at:  

Based on the objectives of the BCF effort, it seems a liaison to maintain awareness of the status in both groups is worth considering and if there is quorum at the call this Wed., Aug. 20, we will present the following motion.  If not, we will post this as a ballot on the website after Sept.1.  

Motion:

We move to establish a liaison with the CEFACT BPWG BCF group to:
1) enable a communications path between the groups
2) provide a focal point for monitoring status and planning any possible joint activities.

The WS BPEL TC member to be named by the TC and selected by vote of the TC will:
1) act as the liaison and communicate to the TC the status of the ongoing
interactions with the CEFACT BPWG BCF group via the Minutes Document as well
as reports during the Conference Call.

2) Will bring motions to the TC as appropriate regarding any specific action the TC may wish to take relative to this liaison.

3) Ensure that the cross committee interactions conform to the OASIS Liaison Policy.

Note, we will select a volunteer to act as liaison separately.  In order to avoid conflict of interest, the CEFACT BPWG chair has requested that we select a liaison who is not a current member of the BCF group, but who is willing to join their group as an observer to fulfill this role.   Similarly, they plan to select a representative from their group who will join the WS BPEL TC as an observer.  We've verified with the Oasis staff that this meets the liaison policy.
