Agenda

TopicNotes
  • Introductions for new joiners
  • Working rhythm - most work done in wiki docs, meetings are for escalations and synch-ups.  
  • Great offline work done to date - well done everyone!
  • Timeframes
  • Do we process use cases in Tranches?  Or per use case?
    • GROUP DECISION: do it per use case
    • Early on we don't want to kick start one use case without setting up some initial consistency between them, so do a 'first batch' just in the beginning before progressing one on its own.
  • Ratification - what does that mean?
  • Use Cases Scope - let's clarify:
    • Focus on Desktop (FDC3)
    • Mention/Capture non-Desktop and flag explicitly - decide specifics as we go through each actual example
    • GROUP DECISION: OK for not every workflow to have a standard
  • STATES of Use Cases (this is not for the specific individual workflows inside each of the Use Case but the use case as a whole):
    • Backlog/Draft
    • In Review
    • Approved/Accepted (as a well defined and relevant use case only - not 'approved' as a FDC3 standard)
    • Rejected (with reason)
  • Process & Tooling
    • GROUP DECISION: Not in Jira yet, try to use confluence as much as possible
    • See actions below to get this started
  • Voting
    • Do it via standard FINOS way and via  email - not require meeting - see action below for Nick to check with FINOS and let this group know.
    • Working group members must be diligent in assessment of use cases
      • Not everyone will be a stakeholder in all use cases (not expected) but use cases must have enough detail to allow review and assessment
  • Use Case 7 - Platform agnostic interop API - by Leslie Spiro
    • CTO use cases
    • GROUP QUESTION: Are non-financial-professional use cases in scope?  Are CTO/CIO/CCO valid "users"?  No consensus yet (ran out of time), so please discuss offline and let's decide by or at next meeting.
  • Others to be discussed at next meeting (start with this). All to provide comments on the docs in the meantime.
  • Templates for Use Cases
  • Discussion barely started due to time, but ideas to include in template:
    • flag for whether there is a standard defined to meet this specific workflow
    • must be factual and detailed
  • Inter working group communication 
  • Not really discussed.  Saori will try to start group discussion in Google groups.
  • Wider FINOS interlock   
  • Not really discussed.  Saori will try to start group discussion in Google groups.

Open Questions (for next session)

  • Presentation of use cases (Rhyddian and Tom)
  • Voting - how should we do this?
  • How do we gauge interest to move a use case from backlog/draft into review mode?
  • Template items - what to include?
  • Are "CTO Use Cases" in scope?
