2 minReview of previous action itemsChairs
  • ACTION: ALL MEMBERS to continue to review sections 7 through 11 of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification to add any final comments or suggestions.
  • ACTION: Jo Spencer - proposal on EndPoint Systems/Intermediary Systems communication Req's (discuss on Slack)
  • ACTION: Neil Thomson - proposed communication used by EndPoint Systems and Supporting Systems, on-node Support System inter-communication and cross-network interaction within a Support System.  
  • ACTION: Drummond Reed to raise an GitHub on this topic as it will require more in-depth discussion that is feasible in Google docs (and because we are now trying to move all new issues to GitHub).

TAS REVIEW

Discussion of progress on the working draft of the ToIP Technology Architecture Specification:

15 minsReview proposed revisions to section 4

Darrell O'Donnell Wenjing Chu 

See this Google Doc for proposed revisions to section 4 that add a more detailed definition of the purpose and expected outcomes, including two parallel tracks for development of component specifications and interoperability profiles/test cases.

  • Make comments and suggestions in the doc
  • This doc will not be integrated into the spec until a later date.

Neil Thomson Suggest that (top) TAF use cases are expanded in component specifications, then again for interoperability profiles/test cases. This provides spec traceability.

Darrell O'Donnell to suggest a replacement for Figure 2 (development progression)

ACTION: Neil Thomson to update dev prog and/or design principles to include "detailing" of Use cases from Tech Arch through test cases.

ACTION: Neil Thomson to update Use Case table to include column Normative Requirement(s) are involved for.

ACTION: ALL — think about how do we number (normative) requirements and embed them within the Tech Arch Spec (and then link them to an appendix).

General issues

  • Everyone has a Layer 1, 2, etc. Need to rename or make ToIP specific
  • What are "normative requirements" vs. "design principles" (e.g. "spanning layer")?
  • We need to "get the stories right" prior to working how all the parts of the spec (inc normative req's) fit and interrelate.
30 minsReview a consolidated list of core terms and normative requirements

Darrell O'Donnell Wenjing Chu 

See this Google Doc for a consolidated list of the core terms and normative requirements coming out of the San Jose collaboration sessions earlier this week.
