Functional Model Work in Process

FUNCTIONAL MODEL REVISION MANAGEMENT PROCESS
This is the current process for managing all aspects of the future revisions of the IDE Functional Model

• IDE Functional Model comment period is now open through January 9, 2015
  • Will gather input from the IDESG and external communities on topic areas and issues that should be considered for inclusion in the next version of the Functional Model.
  • Will Publish all comments on the Security wiki and enable interaction on those topics during the comment period. Implementing process to enable this.
• Establish a target date for the release of the next version of the Functional Model. The current suggested target date is calendar Q3 2015.
• Will establish a Functional Model working group, chartered by the Security Committee, to be responsible for executing on this plan. This working group will start meeting in January 2015, meeting frequency TBD. Recruit an IDESG and Security Committee member to lead this effort.
• Institute improved processes to address issues that were discovered in the first version, including:
  • Implement a formal process and timeline for IDESG committee comments and feedback.
  • Consider external feedback to be considered.
  • Clarify the formal adoption process and timelines.
  • Other areas to be identified. Suggestions welcome.
