RE: [RPRWG] State Tables Ad Hoc Meeting
Bob,
I had this marked on my calenday for Thursday, due to a
past email reading mistake. Sorry for having missed this.
I agree that we need to have a detailed specification;
simply pulling in the votes on controversial issues is
insufficient. Until we do the details, its often not
clear whether the "consensus" votes (such as type field
location, in or out of header) were even self-consistent.
We also need to have the MIB folks identify all MIBS
that are specified, but not defined through state machines,
and vice versa. Maybe this and other items should be
included in a check-sheet for editors?
I should be able to attend next week. Sorry for the lapse
this week.

Subject: [RPRWG] State Tables Ad Hoc Meeting
The first meeting of the State Tables Ad Hoc group was attended by
Steve Dunhom
Asif Hazarika
Robert D. Love
Thanks to Steve and Asif for their participation.
The meeting focused on the methodology we should employ in developing the
set of input conditions and states to check against the state diagrams to
insure that they are covered. We clearly need more participants at
subsequent meetings if we are to make the kind of progress necessary to be
ready for WG ballot following the November meeting. I encourage each of you
to join our next meeting. At that meeting we will discuss the conditions
discovered this week and determine how to continue based on the level of
participation we have. Present plans include focusing on fault conditions
that may not be covered by the state diagrams.
Meeting details:
Tuesday, October 22, 2002
1 - 2:30pm West Coast time
Call-in Number: 1-702-851-3330
Conference Number: 8021722
