RE: Champions for Draft-status requirements?

I have already posted regarding D-AC017 giving my view of where this is and
what might best happen, and asking for discussion.  So far there has been no
discussion.

Sigh.

I believe that I was the former "champion" of this thing.

Basically I'm willing to let it go and it seems to me that the sense of the
group is moving this way, with the exception that I am REALLY opposed to
letting go completely the subject of reliable messaging.  If D-AC017 went
away there would be no mention of reliable messaging whatever in the
requirements, and I think that this would be very inappropriate given the
level of interest and priority that is widely put on this subject.  So I am
basically proposing getting rid of D-AC017 but adding something specifically
about reliable messaging.

Subject: Champions for Draft-status requirements?



In the draft of the Requirements doc at
http://www.w3.org/TR/2002/WD-wsa-reqs-20020819
we still have some goals and CSF's with a "D-" in
front of them.  I took an action item to try to
find champions who would look up the discussions
on these and try to guide us to a definite resolution.
You may find that they were resolved, and the
resolution had not made it into the document.  

It looks like there are 4 goals with draft status, and
three of those have CSF's with draft status associated
with them: D-AC001, D-AC016, D-AC017, and D-AC018.
Also, AC006 is agreed on, but some of its CSFs are 
still in draft status.

It would be nice to have volunteers to take these
on.  I would expect it to take about one hour for each
to dig through the archives, look at the votes and
comments, and propose a sensible resolution.


-------------------------------------------------
D-AC001 provides a complete reference framework that encourages the
development of interoperable software products from multiple vendors and
provides a defensible basis for conformance and interoperability test
suites.

D-AC001.1 - Encourage the development of interoperable software products.

D-AC001.1.1 - Ensure that no individual implementor is favored over others.

D-AC001.1.2 - Identify all interfaces and messaging protocols within the
architecture in a standardized way.

D-AC001.2 -Ensures that the development of standards-based technologies
identify conformance in such a way that testing software can be
constructed..

-----------------------------------------------------------
[in this one, the top level goal is agreed on, but it has  some CSF's with
draft status]

AC006 addresses the security of Web services across distributed domains and
platforms.

D-AR006.7 The security framework SHOULD enable key management and key
distribution.

D-AR006.12 The security framework must include Auditing.

D-AR006.13 Where a web service provides security features in line with
AR006, it SHOULD provide the ability to manage that security in a meaningful
way.

-------------------------------------------------------
D-AC016 examine architectural and technology issues that might prevent
interoperability, and recommend existing standards and technologies where
available.

D-AR016.4 Formation of WGs to address gaps

D-AR016.4.1 in architectural realm.

D-AR016.4.2 in technological realm.


-------------------------------------------------------
D-AC017 provides guidance for the development of the Web services
infrastructure needed to implement common business functions in a
standards-based environment.

D-AR017.1 The Web services Architecture must support common business
functions, to the extent that those functions are defined in similar
methodologies such as EDI.

D-AR017.2 The Web services Architecture must support reliable messaging and
routing.

D-AR017.3 The Web services Architecture must support unique message IDs and
message sequencing.

D-AR017.4 The Web services Architecture must support reliable transaction
processing.

----------------------------------
D-AC018 The Web Services Architecture must enable the management and
provisioning of Web Services

[None of the CSF's have draft status]
