David, Interesting you say that "if we find an existing spec that fits our bill, we're going to have to charter up a WG to deal with it" Is this the way W3C has always done business? While, I am inclined to think we can/should keep this option open, I can think of other approaches as well. - working jointly with another standards organization (e.g., IETF) - creating liaisons with other standards committees and organizations (I don't know of any example from W3C off hand, somebody in the list may) so that the other standards organization would coordinate their work with W3C as for conformance, etc. I tried to create a sentence that captures all this as a goal statement, but I couldn't (apologies) Cheers, -Suresh -----Original Message----- From: David Orchard [mailto:david.orchard@bea.com] Sent: Monday, March 11, 2002 3:59 PM To: www-ws-arch@w3.org Subject: RE: D-AG0016 - Technology Gaps I was wondering how this would come up... What does it mean for the WG to recommend existing standards? Would a W3C Note (which isn't a standard) count? What if some tweaking of the spec is required for standardization, say converting soap-sec into ws-sec and changing the namespace name? Is the WSA group going to do the nuts and bolts dirty work on re-using existing stuff - like writing conformance test suites, publication schedules, conversion to xmlspec dtd etc.? There's a fair bit of work just doing errata. I would think we don't want to burden the WSA with this. I think that even if we find an existing spec that fits our bill, we're going to have to charter up a WG to deal with it. How about "Identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent interoperability to formulate standards-based remedies; formation of new working groups to standardize new or existing specifications or technologies." ?

In fact, the charter says "The Working Group should also identify what existing W3C technologies already address functions required by the architecture identified." I wanted to avoid a discussion over *whose* existing standards and technologies at this point of high-level requirements identification. Therefore I took the path that in order to identify gaps, existing technologies would be flushed out during the process.

However I think we should recommend existing standards wherever available to avoid re-inventing. How about something on the lines: "Identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent interoperability to formulate standards-based remedies; recommending existing standards and technologies where available and formation of new working groups where none available."

The current proposed wording is "DAG0016 [The Working Group will also act to] identify current gaps in architectural interoperability and recommend standards-based remedies". As this architecture group is clearly chartered not to design the gap technologies itself, I would like to suggest changing to"identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent interoperability; and recommend formation of new working groups to formulate standards-based remedies". <?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = " urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office <urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office> " /> Yin Leng
