QAWG - Here is the resolution of my action items about the OpsGL commitment table [1]. There were these aspects: 1.) that the columns (C) of the table were inextricably combined in satisfying a given level; 2.) that the levels (rows, R) were nested, and someone could in principle satisfy e.g. R3C1 without satisfying R1C1 (ignoring the "in addition to..." clause, of course); 3.) that the conformance requirements were fuzzy. After a lot of thinking about it, I decided that #1 was okay. Looking at CP1.1 (P1), 1.2 (P2), and 1.3 (P3), we are saying that we want you to do *both* of these (spec criteria and TM criteria) to meet a given level, and if you meet level M for spec but only level N for TM (M>N), then you have only satisfied the lower level (associated with the higher priority CP). I.e., to get to AA or AAA conformance, you must do more in *each* category, spec and TM, not more in just one of them. I'm okay with that. Similarly, I'm okay with #2. We believe that the items in the lowest levels (rows) are the most important, therefore you shouldn't be allowed to skip over them. So attached is a proposal to tighten up number three. Please have a look for Monday telecon. Consider: ** general approach okay? ** specific questions flagged by "@@"? -Lofton. [1] http://www.w3.org/QA/WG/2002/12/qaframe-ops-20021220#commitment-table
