Minutes

General Committee Business

2. Approval of November 19 Minutes

• Motion: Approve minutes as posted. Carried, with one abstention.

4. Review Action Items List

• Action Item: Chris Carr and La Shawn Edwards to update with Oct-Dec items and review status of items

5. Domain Committee Review of Test Plans

• Currently no review of test plans by committees; feasible to add?
• There would be a huge backlog if we tried to do all published profiles; focus on those being offered for 17025 Accredited Testing
• Review would have some formal aspects: criteria, time on agenda, formal committee approval vote
• RO already performs a similar review, but in a limited and somewhat informal setting
• Domain project managers would welcome the review
• Perform review after first round of Connectathon testing; make a requirement before advancing profile to final text status
• Some test plans could take several hours to a few days to review
• Profile author is the best positioned person to review; should be thinking about testability in writing profiles. Profile author could identify potential test partners to help with review.
• Proposed process detail alternatives:

• Prior to final text publication
• Within 12 months of initial submission for TI publication

• Action Item: Chris, Kevin, Mary and Steve will develop proposal for review and approval by Testing and Tools and DCC
