Deliverable Review and Approval Process: Example
ACDC TF suite of deliverables - expected timeline per Karla McKenna of GLEIF
Task Force public review
Will need into next week to work through the remaining formatting issues, prepare the blog, etc.
So, anticipate that the TF public review could start the week of the
19th of February and run for 2 weeks bringing us to March 1st
Revision stage based on TF public review
I would plan at least 2 weeks for the review bringing us to March 15th and hoping that a second TF public review will not be necessary.
Then on to the Technology Stack Working Group for approval
minimum 7 days by email had been suggested; if the request for approval went out on the 18th, that would bring us to the 25th.
So the resulting expectation would be that the specifications would be
ready for Steering Committee approval by the 25th of March.
Deliverable Review and Approval Process: Policies
TSWG co-chairs (Darrell, Drummond, Kevin) have been discussing where ToIP should “set the bar” for approval of ToIP technical specifications
In meetings with John Jordan and other ToIP members in Victoria BC last week, we discussed policies of other SDOs
Typically these policies include:
Conformance: complies w/all formatting and terminology req’s
Completeness: specifies everything necessary for independent implementations to be interoperable
Evidence of at least two interoperable implementations
Consensus among WG members that the spec is ready
Deliverable Review and Approval Process: Flowcharts
Based on these discussions, Darrell has created a series of flowcharts in Miro that illustrate the proposed stages:

Deliverable Review and Approval Process: Question
Should we—at a ToIP Steering Committee level, or at a WG level—establish standard policies for approval of ToIP deliverables of all kinds:
Specifications
Templates
Guides
Papers (white papers, position papers, etc.)
