Or worse, someone might implement it and thus be distinct from EMI. When approaching other storage teams to implement something it would be better if what EMI is going to do is documented somewhere standard.

I thought that was the plan, but I guess I've misunderstood then. My idea was that the StAR document is an input from EMI for the URv2 work and that URv2 is what will be used. EMI will implement StAR but needs to change it when URv2 comes. I mean, within OGF StAR is just an informational document, not a standard.

But when you put it this way I guess it's cleaner to change StAR within EMI and upload the new version before final review.

cheers,
Jon
