RE: PAP Architecture - Cohort requirements - TTL

[Jean-Paul Buu-Sao <jean-paul.buu-sao@tscp.org>]

Ray, 

I just noticed that there is an open issue listed on the Wiki:

"PDP Cohort Schedule end time - Do we need it?
Ray: I don't think we need it"

To this question, I would like to suggest that leaving a general "Validity" requirement, with either ends (start or stop) optional covers the 3 possible cases, that all have business sense. Example: regulatory policies can have start date and no end date, policies related to contracts can have start and end date, and other some policies have neither ones. Would you agree with this, and if so maybe we should change the resolution of this open issue?

Thanks,
Jean-Paul

Bill, as discussed I updated the requirements on the Wiki to add your TTL requirement as a more general "validity" requirement, expressed as

Validity: a policy cohort may be only valid between a start date/time and an end date/time (either boundaries can be omitted)

Would it work?
Thanks,
Jean-Paul
