http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsqm/download.php/15195/WSQM-TC-Charter-0912.doc

Prof. Min asked when the charter has been written.

Dr. Kim stated that she was not sure of the exact date of the charter written.

Prof. Min stated that the charter has been revised several times with Jamie since its first draft. And asked when the charter was finally updated.

Jiyong stated that the charter was finally updated on September 12, 2005.

Prof. Min stated that the two versions of charters had been distributed, old and new version.

Dr. Kim added that the old version was published with Jamie for the call for participation of 1st conference call, and new version had been updated since. And there was a minor change between them.

Prof. Min asked John if he had both versions of the charter.

John stated that he had new version from web site.

Jiyong stated that the changes between old version and new version were minor changes which in most cases had been editorial clean-ups.

Prof. Min stated that he would review the charter item by item.

No corrections to be made in part a of the charter

Prof. Min stated that there had been changes in part b for more clear meaning of the statement.

Prof. Lee stated he was ok with it since it was small change.

John stated he was ok with it.

No corrections to be made in part b of the charter

Jiyong pointed out that in part c of the charter, Web Services Quality Test Model (WSQTM) had been changed to Web Services Quality Test Guideline in new version.

Dr. Kim also pointed out that Web Services Test Guideline was indicated as an option in part c while it is in a list of deliverables in part d and suggested to discuss about it.

Prof. Min suggested Web Services Test Guideline to be one of the deliverables since TC have more time than they thought they initially had for making Web Services Test Guideline, and therefore remove ‘if possible’ in the sentence.

Prof. Min asked John for his opinion.

John confirmed and agreed.

Prof. Min asked Jiyong to correct the charter accordingly.

Prof. Min expressed his gratitude to Dr. Kim for her suggestion

No more corrections to be made in part c.

Prof. Min asked if the order of the deliverables in the part d of the charter was suitable.

Prof. Min stated that he estimated the TC would be able to finish the first deliverable ‘Web Services Quality Model (WSQM)’ within a year (by October in 2006).

Prof. Min asked opinions about the completion date of Web Services Quality Description Language (WS-QDL).

Dr. Kim stated that it is possible to finish WS-QDL according to the schedule since enough time is given to TC.

Prof. Min suggested to switch the order between WS-QDL and Web Services Test Guideline.

Prof. Lee suggested to put WSQM and WS-QDL together since they were strongly relevant each other and place them in parallel to Web Service Test Guideline.

John asked if the schedule has been reduced from 2 years to 18 months.

Dr. Kim asked for Prof. Lee’s confirmation.

Dr. Lee stated that WSQM TC would be able to finish the whole standard work within 18 months.

Dr. Kim projected that the completion date of WSQM standard work would be June, 2007 according to Dr. Lee’s suggestion.

Mr. Moojung Ahn suggested working on both WSQM and WS Quality Test Guideline simultaneously.

Prof. Min stated that 1 year for both WSQM and WS Quality Test Guideline might be too short since there is more work needed to be done for WS Quality Test Guideline. Prof. Min also stated that he agreed with idea to develop WSQM and WS-Quality Test Guideline at the same time but the completion date for WS Quality Test Guideline must be 18 months or 2 years from formation of TC.

Prof. Lee stated that WSQM and WS Quality Test Guideline are bonded tightly each other. He suggested starting WS Quality Test Guideline 6 months after starting WSQM so TC can adjust the completion date for the whole project.

Dr. Kim restated Prof. Lee’s suggestion and asked his confirmation.

Prof. Min stated that TC would complete WSQM by November in 2005 and complete WS-QDL and WS Quality Test Guideline together by November in 2006.

Dr. Kim confirmed that TC would complete WSQM within a year and also complete WS-QDL and WS Quality Test Guideline together within a year.

Prof. Lee stated that TC might need more time for WS-QDL and WS Quality Test Guideline because WS-QDL required much more time than TC might think.

Prof. Lee stated that 1 year is adequate for the completion of WS Quality Test Guideline.

Prof. Min stated that TC standard draft for WS-Quality Test Guideline is changing as the work of TC progresses; hence TC would need enough time for the completion of WS-Quality Test Guideline.

Dr. Kim summarized that WS-QDL and WS Quality Test Guideline would be placed in parallel in terms of priority, and WS-QDL would be completed within 6 months after the completion of the WSQM, and WS Quality Test Guideline would be completed within 1 year after the completion of the WSQM.

Dr. Kim asked if everyone agreed

Sungshin agreed with Dr. Kim and asked if total period of time for the entire work is 2 years.

Dr. Kim and Prof. Min confirmed that it is 2 years.

John restated the outcome of the discussion and agreed with it.

Prof. Min asked if there were any other suggestions.

No other suggestions and No more corrections to be made in part d

Prof. Min stated about the part e of the charter.

No objections and no corrections to be made in part e

Prof. Min stated about the part f of the charter.

No objections and no corrections to be made in part f

Prof. Min stated about the part g of the charter.

No objections and no corrections to be made in part g

Prof. Min asked if TC had to consider the part below the dotted line in the charter.

Jiyong stated that those were just information for the WSQM 1st conference call

Prof. Min stated the summary of discussion on the charter review.

Prof. Min asked if there are any objections.

Prof. Min asked if the voting is needed.

Jiyong stated that the voting is not necessary unless TC members want. As Jamie said in the last conference call, it is acceptable to use simple method like checking if there are any objections and then approve in case of no objection.

No objection, thus the charter was approved.

5. Contributed work

Prof. Min stated that there are two contributes works which are Web Services Quality Model and Web Service Quality Test Guideline both for Korean government. Prof. Min suggested to consider only WSQM at this moment since WS Quality Test Guideline will be commenced a year later.

Dr. Kim suggested that TC started reviewing WSQM v 2.0

Prof. Min restated suggestion from Dr. Kim that the first deliverable of WSQM TC would be based on the contributed work developed by NCA.

Dr. Kim suggested that TC might be able to start reviewing WSQM v 1.0 since the change is not substantial and start reviewing WSQM v2.0 in the next conference call.

Prof. Min asked John if he had read the WSQM document.
