Progress during the week
Presentation 11-04/1009, the proposed framework, concerned many people
Right or wrong, many worried it required application level testing
After much discussion in meetings and offline, members of the group came to a common understanding
Both sides were saying the same thing but with different language!
Presentation 11-04/1131r1 proposed a metrics and test methodology approach for following 11-04/1009
TG motions were passed to adopt the framework and approach of 11-04/1009
Straw poll taken to see if people were in favor of document 11-04/1131r1 – unanimous acceptance
