Meeting Results

Processed the final requirements. This means the requirements specification is now ready and UCM will move into ODP Step 3 - Internal Draft Development. Thanks to everybody who has contributed!

We had a discussion on the best way to proceed in the next phase. There are two main alternatives:

1. Posisiton papers. The UCM group writes position papers from scratch that addresses the different requirements. This is a good mechanism to capture discussions and driver the process forward. The disadvantage is that this is an immature area so it will be realtively hard and timeconsuming to write good position papers. There is also a danger that the posistion papers will lead to inconistency as they look at certain requirements of groups of requirements in isoloation.

2. Call for contribution. This approach calls for contributions of proposals for a methodology document or parts of a methodology document with a description of how they fit the requirements. The advantage is that we will get consistent proposals and can focus on how they fit the requirements. The problem with this approach is that there might not be so many contribution proposals. Tony has however volontered to expand his initial contribution and link this to the requirements and have something ready for the Stockholm Forum. SAP has also indicated willingness to contribute to the draft specification. We should also check with Pieter Wisse who has done extensive researhc in the area and possibly will get involved in the UCM work.

The conclusion is that Øyvind checks out possibilities for contributions and if we get satisfactory responses we will start out from the second approach.

Action Items

• Tony updated final requirements document.
• Øyvind checks out possibilities for contributions.

Next Meetings

The agenda for the next meeting will be to group the requirements properly and discuss final preparations for the Stockholm meeting.
