My action items AI-20030108-2 and AI-20030108-3 (Test Task Force Charter) completed

All,

Attached please find the new version of the TTF charter, in time for AC 
contacts, as requested earlier this week.

All minuted changes from the F2F were incorporated (except for the part 
on templates of test materials, which I cannot remember having either 
voted for or abstained from voting on during the F2F according to an 
earlier email to the list).

For the archives, I again want to stress that I do not agree that we 
should strive for not enforcing that test techniques as defined and 
discussed in other QA WG materials be used. Our current wording (on 
which we reached consensus during the F2F) is "ensure". I cannot, on 
the one hand, understand what makes "ensure" different from "enforce", 
except if "ensure" means that we just check for something having been 
done by someone else (which means that in order to ensure, someone 
needs to have enforced, except for cases where all gets done 
voloutarily); on the other I think this is merely words and that it 
does not really make that big a difference.

Again, I updated the draft as per the minutes, but I want it archived 
that I do not agree with this weaker wording. Some group needs to 
enforce that things be done, if not this group then some other. 
However, as this is my personal view and not that of the QA WG, the TTF 
charter does not reflect that.

As for AI-20030108-2, assuring uniformity means, as mentioned in the 
updated draft, that QA WG "approved" test techniques as per our 
documents are used as much as possible (the set of those tools defining 
uniform use).

Olivier, please update the action items list accordingly.
