History of v12 draft:
- after the as2 v2 draft we attempted to combine the then current as2 draft with
gisb standard used in the energy industry.
- during the recent two interop rounds with twenty plus products, implementing
the non gisb part, it became apparent that the v11 draft was very confusing because
of the attempt to combine the two.
- the twenty plus vendors interop testing help make the v12 draft clearer
- Dick Brooks called very concerned that I dropped the gisb info from the v12 draft
- I asked that he send me the gisb standard and I would append it to the current v12 draft, call it v13,
to facilitate discussion, while ensuring the non gisb part has clarity,
which it did not have in v11
The suggested process at this time:
- please review the contents of the v12 draft for clarity and correctness for the non gisb part
- once this is complete we will discuss the gisb part which Dick Brooks will send me and I
will include in the next release v13
- Then we will discuss (based on the old v11 draft) if there is a means to combine them
in the same draft/document
Non technical issue:
- the energy industry refers to the gisb spec as as2
- the retail industry and others using the non gisb part of the spec refers to it as as2
- both, in some cases mandate the use of as2 specs.. Which means we have a naming issue
if we decide to split them into two specs
- fairness is the key to resolving this issue, especially on the use of the as2 name.
Please review v12 asap for clarity and correctness…
Best regards,
Rik Drummond
