Re: [soa-rm-ra] reaching closure on Action
Once we have closure, capturing the issues is just some careful grunt work.  The challenge is reaching closure quickly.

I am just catching up on last weeks message threads.  If we can capture

these discussions as issues in our next issues spread sheet that would

be helpful.  The issues spread sheet can reference the title of a

message thread relating to the issue and the date of a message when

applicable. Links to Kavi diagrams can also be added to an issue.

Dear Fellow Explorers, 

We've had some very stimulating discussions over the past few weeks but

I feel there are other things caught in limbo until we reach some

consensus.  I don't think we are plagued by major disagreements but

rather the different facets of complexity for the range of things we

want to capture and make understandable to a wider audience.

So I think we need a plan for how to proceed.  The elements of such a

plan would cover

1. capturing the different facets;

2. capturing where in the document these facets currently live;

3. work a consistent understanding that covers all the facets.

Unfortunately, this is not an 80-20 situation because a standard that

only covers 80% of the scope is looking for trouble.

Now I would suggest an extended call (all day?) but I realize we are all

busy and that may not be feasible.  What's more is it may not be

productive unless we have all the background material together going in.

As a precursor to an extended meeting (or even a regular meeting), is it

possible for us to have a short list of questions and for the author of

each section to satisfy items 1 and 2 above through the answers?  Would

that be enough to help structure a productive (and hopefully not too

long) call?

I haven't yet considered the questions, but figured I'd float the idea

and see if someone came up with something better.

Ken
