Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Content-Length: 23993 X-Lines: 439 TO: SC7 Secretariat FROM: BPG Group ITEM: A new Design Specification ACTION: For Review at the AG in Prague. Enclosed is a draft version of a new proposed Design Specification format, along with a rationale for its introduction into SC7 operation. Some procedures as proposed by the BPG are noted. A trial use of this new product has been completed in the form of a Design Specification for the Product Plan, and this will be forwarded in a separate note. PLEASE FORWARD TO THE AG MEMBERS IN SC7 THANK YOU PETER VOLDNER, Secretary, SC7 BPG ==================================================================== DESIGN SPECIFICATION ========================= A. RATIONALE: --------------- 1. An increasing emphasis on product planning requires more control over project outcomes at least 2-3 years in advance of completion. 2. The relationships with other standards is more complex and more important to define well. The Design Specification encourages the analysis of currently availabler technology and methods and existing standards, and the formal documentation of the results. 3. The adoption of the same concept by TC176, 4. Standard contents and format needs to be better managed. While the NWI proposal takes an external 'needs' view, there is a requirement to formalize product decisions made early. 5. The NWI proposal reflects a formal document and is a snapshot of the situation at a given and early moment in time ( it is a fixed official JTC1 document). The Design Specification will enable refinement of the requirements and as a living document reflect more details about the present standards environment. B. PROCEDURE RELATED ITEMS: ---------------------------- 1. Should be introduced on a trial basis in 1996. 2. The Design Specification should be prepared by the WG at the first meeting after a NWI has been approved. An initial version of the Design Specification should be issued by the WG to confirm understanding of the user requirements; some refinements are likely to be included. 3. The Design Specification can be issued in stages where the design involves more complicated issues such as where the scope goes beyond a single WG or beyond SC7's mandate. ================== END OF NOTE ================================= Enclosed is a copy of Design Spec UUENCODED in MSWORD2 format. begin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
