RE: [soa-rm] REMINDER: SOA-RM TC meeting this week

Ken,

 

Looks like I’m going to have a conflict on the TC call
tomorrow, but will do my best to remotely record the telecon.  In any
event, you know I’m up to speed with the status of the RAF.

 

On the subject of trying to formalize an updated definition
of [SOA] service, I think it’s a waste of time since I do not see how a
resolution would warrant any near-term update to the RM, which has been
finalized for nearly 4 years now.  Here, the 80/20 rule seems to make
perfect sense.  The current definition as articulated in the RM is in the
80+ ballpark of some ‘optimal’ definition that I do not believe we will
ever get full agreement nor should we.  The ‘spirit’ is there
and it is sufficient.  Besides, even a small change to the current
definition would not warrant initiating an entire review process to update the
existing standard - IMHO.

 

Regards…
