Colleagues,

 

I have included Olaf’s block diagram (in jpg since I don’t have Visio) in place of the earlier version.  I also included the second SDL block diagram at the end of the document in the Use Case section (4.2).  Is this the right location for this diagram?

 

I generally agree with Sadatoshi’s note (and Olaf’s response) about duplicating MSC functions.   However, I think somehow we need to capture those functions as “shall” statements in the IDC specification. 

 

Can we get some guidance from the commercial sector on this? Is it better/would you prefer to simply incorporate by reference the MSC functional requirements or “translate” them into a functional/performance specification (which could be used in a tender or request for proposal)?

 

We are now two weeks away from our meeting in St. Germain en Laye.  Please get your comments/recommendations to me as soon as you can.  I will make every effort to get them all incorporated in time for the meeting. 

 

Best regards
