Hi all, [Please note the important request at the end of this message.] At the management area meeting yesterday at OGF20 we discussed the current status and next steps for CDDLM-WG. The meeting minutes and materials are available at: http://www.ogf.org/gf/event_schedule/index.php?id=760 http://forge.ogf.org/short/management/OGF20 We agreed that the WG is well below critical mass, and noted that there are currently no chairs for the group. We decided on the following course of action: (1) Steve Loughran and Peter Toft of HP to nominate themselves as co-chairs with immediate effect. (2) Bring the following Experimental Track documents to completion and submission: (a) Deployment API Interop Testing (due end of May) (b) CDL Interop Testing (dependent on contribution of inactive members) (3) Make relevant working groups (e.g., Reference Model group) aware of assets -- documents, implementations, etc. -- developed by the working group. (4) Bring the group's activities to a close. The likelihood is that the formally submitted documents will lapse unless picked up by other groups. With regard to (1), we agreed with Ellen and Hiro that it is acceptable to have two co-chairs from the same organisation, given that we are bringing the group's activities to a close. *** Steve and I are therefore nominating ourselves as co-chairs for CDDLM-WG. Please post a response to this mailing list if you have any objection to this, or have any other comments. *** Best regards, Peter Toft HP Labs, Bristol
