[occi-wg] OCCI Document Status

[Andre Merzky]

Dear OCCI group, 

please note that all 4 OCCI documents 

  - Open Cloud Computing Interface - Core and Models
  - Open Cloud Computing Interface - HTTP Header Rendering
  - Open Cloud Computing Interface - Infrastructure Models
  - Open Cloud Computing Interface - XHTML5 rendering

have now officially left the public comment period.  The next step
is for the group, and the document authors, to review the comments
received, and to thus redact the documents.  You can also decide
*not* to follow some suggestion made in the comments, of course, but
in that case, please provide a (short) justification, either on this
list, with Cc to the comment author if he is not on the list, or in
the comment trackers(*).  

There is no specific deadline associated with the groups reaction to
public comment, but it is obviously in the groups best interest to
keep turnaround times short.

I want to remind you that major changes to the documents may imply
another round of public comments.  The group can either request that
to happen, or GFSG can impose that to happen, depending on document
changes and level of group consensus.  In any case, please ensure
that the finally committed documents represent 'rough consensus'.

It would be very helpful for the next GFSG and OGF Editor review if
any form of change tracking could be used to highlight the
differences between the originally submitted documents, and the
final versions to be prepared.  I personally think that a simple
diff would be fine, which should be trivial to obtain from your
mercury repository, but any other, more elaborate changelog may also
be helpful.

FWIW, GFSG assigned me as the Area Director to guide you through the
document process, so, if you have any procedural questions, please
don't hesitate to contact me.

Best wishes, Andre.
