Background information
Our priority is preparing draft Technical Regulations - concrete technical specifications that will help Members begin to design their contributions to WIS 2.0.
Following discussion with Remy, we've created a list of the priority topics. See the WIS2 Confluence pages (you should all have access):
A number of other, lower priority topics are identified as discussion items. We'll get to these if we have time. We may be able to cover these in an INF paper for INFCOM2. Which means no need for translation, and a few extra weeks of working time.
We have also captured the current thinking about the architecture of WIS 2.0. This is also published on Confluence.
Our overriding aim with WIS 2.0 is to make participation easier while still delivering the vision of WIS. For those not familiar with WIS 2.0, please see the attached presentation that provides a very short overview with some links to more detailed documentation. Check out the presentation notes for more detail.
Back on the Confluence pages, you will see several topics covered in further detail:
· Real-time notifications via pub/sub messaging
· Quality of Service / performance monitoring
Please read this material. Nothing is approved yet (it's up to ET-W2AT to make those recommendations) - but I think the proposals do provide a great start.
I encourage you to use the comment functions with Confluence to ask questions and contribute your ideas etc. Alternatively, just edit the Confluence pages themselves - but please to mark your additions with you name so that we can see where changes are coming from.
