Re: ATML Test Results Finalization



Title: RE: ATML Test Results Finalization
I speak now as Computer Society Liaison to SCC20 and member of the CS Standards Board. What Dave suggests is not correct. DASC is part of the Computer Society with a scope that does not include automatic test equipment. TTSC has that charter and scope. In addition, the CS SAB recently approved expansion of scope of SCC20 to make sure that ATML could be handled under its auspices. Further, as an SCC, SCC20 was set up almost 30 years ago to handle the interests of three societies---CS, I&M, and AES. ATML is clearly of interest to all three societies. If someone attempts to bring ATML to the Computer Society, the SAB will simply refer it back to SCC20---especially now that SCC20 "owns" the ATML architecture PAR.

If it is premature to introduce ATML to IEEE maybe we should withdrawl it until we complete it.  Comments.  Does 1232 need to be incorperated into the ATML?  Is anyone using 1232?
 
Just plain me.

Working within a standards group such as SCC20 is *not* the only option of IEEE sponsorship.  If more work needs to be done, but we wish to keep an IEEE tie, then that work can be done under the DATC auspices, and regular reports can be made to the SCC20 (or DASC, for that matter) Steering Commitee, and lay the groundwork for the creation of a PAR and a study group at the appropriate time.  The IEEE has many ways to work; the goal is to create the appropriate structure, not fight the rules by moving into the standardization mechanism prematurely.
 
Of course, if ATML is ready, then we go to SCC20 whenever it is ready.  No need to farble around.
 
It's all a question of what is needed.
