We have a teleconference scheduled to discuss the ID & Routing Overview Working Paper this Friday 2002-06-28, at 2:00-3:00 pm EDT. To participate, call 703-736-7290, and specify Pin #6074647.
Overview Working Paper volunteers, including Chris Feahr, Mimi Hart, Ron Bowron, Peter Barry and myself, are encouraged to call in; all others are welcome to listen in and participate. In order to have something to start with, I've placed an e-mail "brain dump" at http://www.novannet.com/wedi/Overview.doc. To see the Outline on the left-hand side, ensure that you are viewing the Word document in "outline" mode (View | Outline). It includes just about every snippet that I thought might be worth mining from e-mail postings on the WEDi/SNIP ID & Routing mailing list up to 06-07. There are 85 pages (301KB) of raw bulk content - probably enough to generate a few dozen pages of a completed document once it's organized, culled and edited. The outline is a very rough organization of the content and probably could still use some futzing. When we're all satisfied that the outline makes sense, and the raw content is in the correct place(s), we can commence building a readable document out of it. I know there must be a lot of good stuff in here. When all this stuff is finally organized - maybe something that can be done by the end of the phone call - Chris and Mimi will probably take it away and write the first draft of the Overview. Then the rest of the Working Paper principals can weigh in with our changes. Then, finally, it would be shared with the rest of WEDI/SNIP ID & Routing group. Once we've gotten feedback from the group at large, I see us turning the draft over to Peter Barry, white-paper author Par Excellence, for final editing, coloration and formatting. It could be reviewed a couple more times before being submitted to the entire Business Issues Working Group for a look-see. Keep in mind that this overview is only one working paper: the implementable specifications (the other three working papers) are the "real" work product. But at least folks in BI can get a good idea of what we've been jabbering about over the last 5 months. William J. Kammerer Novannet, LLC.
