[DDI-ADG] Release of Version 3.0

[Ilona Einowski]

Dear Aggregate/Time/Geography Committee Members,

 

As some of you know, in June I will be retiring from UC Berkeley after 36
years. I had assumed that I would no longer be involved in the DDI Alliance
Expert Committee. I made my travel arrangements for IASSIST 2006 and did not
include staying over the Saturday for the Expert Committee meeting. 

 

With the release of the Version 3.0 specifications I see that there is no
way I can let go of the DDI work.  With this in mind, I have talked with the
Director of UC DATA who has agreed to let me continue (post-retirement) to
act as one of the UCB representatives to the Alliance. What remains now is
to work out how I will be involved.  For now, I would like to continue to be
actively involved in a response to the new specifications.  

 

I assume that we will all have a look at the web site and follow the SRG
suggestions for reviewing the specifications.  Should we set up a conference
call some time in late April to discuss Version 3?

 

How many of you plan to be at IASSIST/attend the DDI Expert Meeting?  If it
looks like the meeting on May 27 will be a working session, I will change my
travel plans.  

 

If it looks like a written statement from me of any areas of concern or
requests for clarification will suffice AND if the group will be represented
at the meeting, perhaps it is not necessary for me to attend.  

 

I would appreciate hearing back from you about your plans for the meeting
and your response to the suggestion of a conference call in April.

 

Ilona
