2010-12-19 Status Update: Verifying 2010-07-19 Second IS 26300:2006 Amendment 1 Draft

[Dennis E. Hamilton]

I am happy to report that I have completed the following step:

	3.1 Verify that none of the changes in AMD1 collide with 
	COR1 changes and recommend adjustments if there are any 
	places where there is an avoidable collision in the AMD1.

I completed this for BOTH COR1 and COR2 (that is, the cumulative ODF 1.0
Errata 02).

I found only 5 collisions, most of which are associated with COR1.

Three of the five collisions can be avoided by limiting the wording of the
change in the draft Amendment -- that is, by not showing so much unamended
text.  The report on defects of the second draft of the amendment will
include those remedies.

The remaining two of the five collisions are based are in Appendix B, and
have to do with changes in Errata 02 that are inapplicable or inconsistent
with what is in Appendix B as amended for 1.1.  Nothing needs to be done in
the amendment.  Synchronization will depend on COR2, ODF 1.1 Errata 01, and
reconciliation to be offered during the comment period of the FPDAM1 ballot.


Also, in developing COR2, you may see some instructions that make no sense
or are incompatible with the text that is already in IS 26300:2006 in
Appendix B.  How we adjust that (perhaps by removing the inconsistent errata
items from COR2) will influence how synchronization is ultimately achieved
with the amendment.

I will now continue with step 3.2 in the progression below.

Amendment 1 Draft

[ ... ]

Now that I have completed trial application of the amendment to an editable
base, I will continue with the following steps:

 3.1 Verify that none of the changes in AMD1 collide with COR1 changes and
recommend adjustments if there are any places where there is an avoidable
collision in the AMD1.

 3.2 Make a version of the track-changed ODF Text document that has all
changes accepted.

 3.3 Compare the version in 3.2 with an aligned copy of the ODF 1.1 editable
form.  

 3.4 Note any changes that deviate from what was in ODF 1.1 and that was
meant to be matched as the result of the amendment.  Adjust the
change-tracked document as necessary to align.  Also note any discrepancies
detected this way that are to be either corrected in ODF 1.1 via Errata, or
via corrections to the amendment document.  Iterate back through 3.2-3.3 and
here as necessary.

 3.5 Once step (3.3) shows that there are no unadjusted discrepancies,
compile all of the changes that are needed to the amendment as part of
creating a corrected draft.  (There are about 40 defects in the amendment
text at this time, and the 3.1-3.4 process may identify others.)

 3.6 When a new version of the amendment draft is available, check it to
confirm that the identified issues with draft 2 have been resolved.

 3.7 Once we have what we believe is a clean draft amendment, the WG6 FPDAM
ballot can be initiated.

I will take what further issues I have found that should be corrected in the
ODF 1.1 text rather than the amendment and create JIRA issues for the OASIS
ODF 1.1 Errata into step (4) below.

Working Draft Resumes

[ ... ]

PROGRESSION (HIGHEST PRIORITIES FIRST)
  [ ... ]
 4. Create necessary issues against ODF 1.1 to reconcile with the
adjustments made in ODF 1.0 Errata 02 (both parts) and with issues detected
as part of AMD1 preparation.  This will move to ODF 1.1 Errata 01.
 5. From OASIS Approved ODF 1.1 Errata 01, prepare comments to the balloting
of AMD1 at SC34. 

At this point, we would march forward with IS 26300:2006/AMD1 and OASIS ODF
1.1 aligned while the parallel staging of ODF 1.2 through JTC1 submission
and approval will be underway.
