Administrative update

Title: Administrative update

Administrative update:

1. Charter: Karl pointed out that our charter needed some update to better match

the Test Framework deliverable and the Deployment Template deliverable  as well:

(we'd have to vote on these next meeting)

I propose to update the first list of "purpose" items items in our charter:

Previous list:

A conformance plan; 

A set of reference implementation guidelines; 

A set of base line interoperability tests; To provide guidelines and direction for third-party creation of conformance laboratories; 

To provide of feedback, when neccessary, to the appropriate organization(s) responsible for a specification. 

New proposed list:

- To produce comformance plans and test suites.

- To produce base line interoperability test suites.

- To produce implementation and deployment guidelines, including deployment templates for guiding user communities in defining the usage and deployment profiles on the basis of which they agree to interoperate.

- To provide guidelines and direction for third-party creation of conformance laboratories, including design and guidelines for a test suite scripting and testbed architecture that supports ebXML test suites.

Also, reword:

"The initial deliverable of the IIC TC is a conformance plan that, at a minimum, deals with the Messaging aspect of ebXML. 

The participants aim to produce a first draft of this specification by approximately three months from the first meeting of the TC.

The ultimate deliverable of the TC is to be a coordinated set of implementation guidelines and interoperability tests."

Into:

"The initial deliverable of the IIC TC is a conformance and interoperability test suite that, at a minimum, deals with the Messaging aspect of ebXML. The participants aim to produce a first draft of this specification by approximately three months from the first meeting of the TC.

The ultimate deliverable of the TC is to be a coordinated set of conformance and interoperability test suites for other ebXML specifications,

as well as template material for helping users define implementation and deployment guidelines."
