  1. Revised TOSCA TC Timeline Analysis and Candidate September 20, 2012

  2. TC Deliverables • Standards Track Work Products (the “spec”) • “…is a Work Product produced and approved by a TC in accordance with the TC Process which may be promoted to Committee Specification or OASIS Standard…” • Non-Standards Track Work Products (the “primer”) • Informative and explanatory • Not subject to the patent licensing and non-assertion obligations requirements of the OASIS IPR Policy • Examples: use cases, primers, examples, formal presentations

  3. Aligning JIRA Issues and their WDs with CSDs (milestones) • Each CSD is a Milestone and has Official Standing • WDs have NO OFFICIAL STANDING (“my Mom’s recipes can be WDs”) • Comprised of 1 or more resolved JIRA issues that resulted in actual changes to a component (spec, etc.) • Each issue that results in changes has a unique WD #

  4. Work Products Tracks in a Nutshell • Committee Spec/Note Draft • Multiple iterations, Full Majority Vote • Committee Spec/Note Public Review Draft • External & OASIS notifications, Full Majority Vote • IPR disclosures, public comments & TC responses • 30/15 days, multiple iterations must track deltas • Committee Spec/Note • Prereq: CS(N)PRD 7 days after PR if comments precipitate changes • Special Majority Vote • Specification Track Only • Candidate OASIS Standard • Three statements of use, content essentially freezes , lots admin details • Special Majority Vote, 60 day public review, comments collected/responded to • Changes to spec by Full Majority Vote only (withdraws from public review) • OASIS Standard • Membership vote (15% yes (greater than 25% negative can also fail vote) • Approved Errata

  5. Review Periods

  6. Timeline Caveats and Concerns(from March) • Timeline based on very aggressive charter timeframe • Variability from • TC Process • Extent and usefulness of public comments • Total “mass” of proposals/issues created • Consider also additional work of TC (primer) or prep • Statements of work • Will we have 3 implementations? • Aligned with conformance statements

  7. March Estimates Overly Optimistic • March estimated timetable no longer valid • Initial understanding of the challenges was wrong • TOSCA was a “thin” spec (not true) • TOSCA was mostly done (not true) • Over 50 JIRA issues • Substantial additions such as requirements/capabilities • Resulted in unrealistic charter timetable estimates of 9 months vs. typical TC charter of 18-24 months

  8. Proposed TOSCA Timeline (March) Note: The exact process varies according to comments received, TC responses, etc. This timeline is a general guideline. There are also latencies built into the process that are not detailed. Multiple CSDs approved as WIP documents • 5 July – essentially JIRA issues closed or tabled, CSPRD ballot • 19 July – 1st CSPRD 30 day public review • TC continually analyzes and responds • 18 Aug – 30 day review closes

  9. March Estimated TOSCA Timeline 2012 (continued) 1st CSPRD spec changes needed • 3 Aug – TC re-ballots • 30 Aug – 2nd CSPRD 15 day review • 14 Sep - CS ballot (presuming no comments) • 21 Sep – Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due • 5 Oct – 60 day review • 29 Nov – Review ends • 13 Dec – Membership vote begins (14 day) • No 1st CSPRD changes needed • 30 Aug - CS ballot (presuming no comments) • 7 Sep – Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due • 27 Sep – 60 day review • 22 Nov – Review ends • 29 Nov – Membership vote (14 day)

  10. Recommendations • Initial shift timeline • From OASIS membership standardization vote on spec by EOY • To 1st approved Committee Spec Draft Public Review Document by EOY • 3-4 months • Benefits • Still very aggressive compared to most OASIS TCs • Will give time for Interop Committee to develop work, maybe first private tests and provide preliminary feedback to TC • Will help insure at least 3 Statements of Use available

  11. Revised TOSCA Timeline Note: This is an estimate. The exact timeline varies according to comments received (one or two CSDPRD rounds), TC admin response time, etc. This timeline is a general guideline. There are also latencies built into the process that are not detailed. Multiple CSDs approved as WIP documents • 15 Nov – all spec-related JIRA issues closed or tabled, CSPRD ballot initiated • 29 Nov – 1st CSPRD 30 day initial public review • TC continually analyzes and responds • CSDPRD cannot be changed, only withdrawn • 29 Dec – 30 day review closes

  12. Revised TOSCA Timeline 2012 (continued) 1st CSPRD spec changes needed • 3 Jan – TC re-ballots • 10 Jan – 2nd CSPRD 15 day review • 31 Jan - CS ballot (presuming no comments) • 13 Feb – CS goes to Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due • 28 Feb – 60 day review begins • 29 Apr – 60 day review ends • 13 May – Membership vote begins (14 day) • No 1st CSPRD changes needed • 3 Jan - CS ballot (presuming no comments) • 10 Jan – CS goes to Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due • 24 Jan – 60 day review begins • 25 Mar – 60 day review ends • 11 Apr – Membership vote (14 day)

  13. Summary • Revised timeline enables public review and acknowledgement of progress before EOY • Still very aggressive compared to most OASIS TCs • Will give time for Interop Committee to develop work, maybe first private tests and provide preliminary feedback to TC • Will help insure at least 3 Statements of Use available • Not much choice
