2. Update on affiliated TC creation efforts

Update from Steve Speicher, see also Executive Summary.

  • no comments received on OSLC Core TC Charter call for comments, not unusual
  • ~ Oct 29 for first TC meeting, once confirmed, invite will be sent once confirmed
  • OASIS webcast after this first meeting, to promote TC and potential domain TCs
  • working through options for combining existing Change Mgmt and Config Mgmt efforts into a single TC, not sure yet

Discussion

  1. What is the expected order of TC creation beyond Change and Automation?
    • Some early ideas were discussed before the creation of the MS.
    • Action: Steve to refine and share an update for discussion
  2. Agreement: keep this topic as a regular agenda item until the migration from open-services.net is complete.

1. INCOSE liaison

Update from Andreas Keis, see also Executive Summary.

  • On September 30 Sean and Andreas met with:
  • Discussions included the INCOSE process of setting up liaisons and moved on to how some more specific thoughts about the proposed partnership.
  • INCOSE has a template for a “Collaboration Whitepaper” that looks like a good fit.
    • Axel and Andreas will work to create one for OSLC and the TII WG.

Options for responding to INCOSE’s MOU from Jamie Clark, OASIS General Counsel

  1. OASIS rules permit liaisons easily through the actions of the TCs or MSs - by their vote
  2. Proposal: reach out to INCOSE and say that OASIS is permissive and try to get it done simply (contracts tend to create more problems over time)
    • If this sounds right:
      1. vote to establish the liaison relationship
      2. appoint a liaison person
      3. Jamie will draft a letter, working with the StC Chair (John Weigand)

Discussion

  1. Previously we’ve already agreed:
    1. that we want to pursue liaison with INCOSE
    2. that Axel Reichwein will be our liaison
  2. Confirmation of Agreement: to establish a liaison with INCOSE and appoint Axel Reichwein as the liaison:
    • Yes: Rainer, Andreas, Mik, Mark, John
    • Abstain (not on call at time): Bola
  3. Action: Jamie is to draft a reply letter, review with the StC Chair, and send to INCOSE

3. Becoming a funded Member Section

  1. Rainer Ersch provided a quick overview of the proposed budget.
  2. Scott McGrath (OASIS COO) provided some background on the reason the funding option was created for Member Sections, gave some background on how MSs have been using their budgets over the last little while, and some feedback:
    • many MSs have got bogged down in managing the details of the budget; OASIS is considering removing some budget items, such as travel and staff support from the MS budget process so they are managed out of a central pool
    • the proposed budget looks OK … probably too much allocated to bad debt, it may also be difficult to justify the value of the hospitality suite
    • if you want to become funded, please make the request by the end of September (has already forwarded the draft to the Controller)
  3. Proposal: 1) make the formal request to become a funded MS and 2) Rainer will lead one more iteration of the budget proposal
    • Agreement: the proposal passes
      • Yes: Rainer, Andreas, Bola, Mark, John
      • Abstain (not on the call at the time): Mik
    • Action: Rainer to update the budget, solicit feedback, and submit a final proposal to OASIS

4. OSLC Connect

See also the reference document by Jane Harnad (OASIS Staff).

4a Proposal on Roles and Responsibilities

  1. Jane reviewed the proposal.
  2. Discussion
    • who would be responsible for reviewing/selecting presentation proposals?
      • likely the Planning Committee … certainly, whether to do a call for presentations or do invitation-only, would be a call for the Planning Committee to make
      • if there is a call for presentations, the Planning Committee could certainly discuss creating a larger group to review and select them
    • Key requirement: the Steering Committee needs to provide guidance to the Planning Committee
    • the decision on co-locating/partnering impacts other issues such as budget, goals, and target audience
  3. Proposal: approve the R&Rs; as described
    • Agreement: the proposal passes
      • Yes: Rainer, Andreas, Mark, John
      • Abstain (not on the call at the time): Bola, Mik
