Re: TA agenda Tokyo

[Murray Maloney <murray@muzmo.com>]

Duane,

I like the direction you are headed. 

I think we all know that agreement on the ebXML Architecture is crucial.
I don't think we will consider that agreement reached unless everyone who 
considers themself a stakeholder is encouraged to participate. I recommend
a day-long, open, Architecture meeting -- attendance limited to room size. 
We should be equipped with a data projector, the document, and all comments.

The goal of the meeting is to edit and/or record editorial instructions
which the participants agree are needed prior to the next round of reviews 
and comments. A high degree of success would have the complete set of 
editorial instructions decided by the end of the day and incorporated by 
the end of the week. Lesser degrees of success we should not tolerate.

The keys to the success of such a meeting are the cooperation of all 
participants and the effectiveness of the chair in managing the process. 
Cooperation of participants includes constructive compliance, whereby
one agrees to record dissent on a decision to allow the group to move on.
Similarly, members can empower another member to represent their view,
thereby reducing the number of active participants.

The responsibility of Quality Team members in this scenario includes 
providing process advice to the chair and all participants; their goal
is to keep the meeting moving along and help overcome any obstacles.
The Quality Review team is guided by best practice, the ebXML Process
and Requirements, and input provided by particpating members of ebXML.

This open process ensures that all parties are heard, actions are
recorded and vetted, and process is observed to be working smoothly.

Anyway, that is what I think, from an ebXML Quality Review perspective. 

Regards,

Murray
