SCA Assembly TC Schedule

Folks,

This email is intended to start a discussion
regarding the schedule for the completion of the work of the 

SCA Assembly TC.

Much though we love SCA and the discussions
that we are having in relation to the Assembly specification,

this is all being done in the context
of a goal - the publication of an OASIS standard.  Now is a good time
to

discuss the schedule for completing
the work of publishing the SCA Assembly specification as an OASIS

standard.

List of milestones: 

"No new issue"deadline (creation
of a high bar for raising any new issues)

Detailed Design for Testing complete

All issues resolved 

All issues incorporated into specification

Testing commencement

1st Public Review 

- Criteria for starting the 1st PR:

- a> close all the open issues (unresolved
issues may be closed by deferring to future release)

- b> include conformance statements
(required by OASIS TC process)

Testing completion
