ebXML Requirements Progress (or lack of it)

[Mike Rawlins <rawlins@metronet.com>]

Greetings,

There have been very few comments either about my proposed plan for
proceeding or the expanded outline that I sent out.  I assume that you
all find them both acceptable.

Due to the lack of discussion, I must conclude that most of you (like
me), have been occupied with other priorities.   Our original target
date for a draft requirements document was 12/20.  That is a week from
today.  Given our lack of progress and the fact that I have received no
requirements from any of the other project teams, I am not optimistic
about our meeting that goal.   Therefore, I propose extending our
schedule.  Since many of us will be off for part or all of the Christmas
and New Year's holidays, and some of us may continue to be wrapped up in
Y2K remediation work, I think we should postpone until after 1/1/2000.
I propose we target for Monday, 1/10/2000.  That is still 3 weeks before
the next scheduled ebXML meeting.  That should give us time to circulate
the draft and get at least a few comments from other project teams.

Please indicate in a reply to this message your acceptance (or lack of
same) to this re-scheduling.

One thing I would like to do for sure this week is get volunteers for
the various sections.  I volunteered for non-functional requirements.
Mark Crawford had some good comments on organizational requirements.
Mark, would you like to do that section?    Please send also reply to
the listserv the section that you would like to do.

Regards,

Mike
