1. Revised TOSCA TC Timeline Analysis and Candidate September 20, 2012

2. TC Deliverables Standards Track Work Products (the “spec”) – “…is a Work Product produced and approved by a TC in accordance with the TC Process which may be promoted to Committee Specification or OASIS Standard…” Non-Standards Track Work Products (the “primer”) – Informative and explanatory – Not subject to the patent licensing and non-assertion obligations requirements of the OASIS IPR Policy – Examples: use cases, primers, examples, formal presentations

3. Aligning JIRA Issues and their WDs with CSDs (milestones) Each CSD is a Milestone and has Official Standing – WDs have NO OFFICIAL STANDING (“my Mom’s recipes can be WDs”) – Comprised of 1 or more resolved JIRA issues that resulted in actual changes to a component (spec, etc.) Each issue that results in changes has a unique WD #

4. Work Products Tracks in a Nutshell Committee Spec/Note Draft – Multiple iterations, Full Majority Vote Committee Spec/Note Public Review Draft – External & OASIS notifications, Full Majority Vote – IPR disclosures, public comments & TC responses – 30/15 days, multiple iterations must track deltas Committee Spec/Note – Prereq: CS(N)PRD 7 days after PR if comments precipitate changes – Special Majority Vote Specification Track Only – Candidate OASIS Standard Three statements of use, content essentially freezes, lots admin details Special Majority Vote, 60 day public review, comments collected/responded to Changes to spec by Full Majority Vote only (withdraws from public review) – OASIS Standard Membership vote (15% yes (greater than 25% negative can also fail vote) – Approved Errata

5. Review Periods Committee Spec Drafts (CSD) Multiple CSDs Milestones/WIPs e.g., TOSCA-1 & TOSCA-6 in CSD01 Full Majority Vote for each CSD Committee Spec Public Review Draft All JIRA issues closed 2 nd Review, if Changes needed to spec 30 day for 1 st PR 15 day for 2 nd PR Special Majority Vote When done, is a Committee Spec (CS) Candidate OASIS Standard Public Review Hopefully once after extensive previous reviews 60 day PR OASIS Membership vote (14 days) Statements of Use Special Majority Vote

6. Timeline Caveats and Concerns (from March) Timeline based on very aggressive charter timeframe Variability from – TC Process – Extent and usefulness of public comments – Total “mass” of proposals/issues created – Consider also additional work of TC (primer) or prep Statements of work – Will we have 3 implementations? Aligned with conformance statements

7. March Estimates Overly Optimistic March estimated timetable no longer valid – Initial understanding of the challenges was wrong TOSCA was a “thin” spec (not true) TOSCA was mostly done (not true) – Over 50 JIRA issues – Substantial additions such as requirements/capabilities – Resulted in unrealistic charter timetable estimates of 9 months vs. typical TC charter of 18-24 months

8. Proposed TOSCA Timeline (March) Note: The exact process varies according to comments received, TC responses, etc. This timeline is a general guideline. There are also latencies built into the process that are not detailed. Multiple CSDs approved as WIP documents 5 July – essentially JIRA issues closed or tabled, CSPRD ballot 19 July – 1 st CSPRD 30 day public review – TC continually analyzes and responds 18 Aug – 30 day review closes

9. March Estimated TOSCA Timeline 2012 (continued) 1 st CSPRD spec changes needed – 3 Aug – TC re-ballots – 30 Aug – 2 nd CSPRD 15 day review 14 Sep - CS ballot (presuming no comments) 21 Sep – Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due 5 Oct – 60 day review 29 Nov – Review ends 13 Dec – Membership vote begins (14 day) No 1 st CSPRD changes needed 30 Aug - CS ballot (presuming no comments) 7 Sep – Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due 27 Sep – 60 day review 22 Nov – Review ends 29 Nov – Membership vote (14 day)

10. Recommendations Initial shift timeline – From OASIS membership standardization vote on spec by EOY – To 1 st approved Committee Spec Draft Public Review Document by EOY – 3-4 months Benefits – Still very aggressive compared to most OASIS TCs – Will give time for Interop Committee to develop work, maybe first private tests and provide preliminary feedback to TC – Will help insure at least 3 Statements of Use available

11. Revised TOSCA Timeline Note: This is an estimate. The exact timeline varies according to comments received (one or two CSDPRD rounds), TC admin response time, etc. This timeline is a general guideline. There are also latencies built into the process that are not detailed. Multiple CSDs approved as WIP documents 15 Nov – all spec-related JIRA issues closed or tabled, CSPRD ballot initiated 29 Nov – 1 st CSPRD 30 day initial public review – TC continually analyzes and responds – CSDPRD cannot be changed, only withdrawn 29 Dec – 30 day review closes

12. Revised TOSCA Timeline 2012 (continued) 1 st CSPRD spec changes needed – 3 Jan – TC re-ballots – 10 Jan – 2 nd CSPRD 15 day review 31 Jan - CS ballot (presuming no comments) 13 Feb – CS goes to Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due 28 Feb – 60 day review begins 29 Apr – 60 day review ends 13 May – Membership vote begins (14 day) No 1 st CSPRD changes needed 3 Jan - CS ballot (presuming no comments) 10 Jan – CS goes to Candidate OASIS Standard ballot, statements of use due 24 Jan – 60 day review begins 25 Mar – 60 day review ends 11 Apr – Membership vote (14 day)

13. Summary Revised timeline enables public review and acknowledgement of progress before EOY – Still very aggressive compared to most OASIS TCs – Will give time for Interop Committee to develop work, maybe first private tests and provide preliminary feedback to TC – Will help insure at least 3 Statements of Use available – Not much choice
