Chartering the Management Task Force


This isn't short work and we can't be 'finished' before the WS Architecture is finished.
There is set of ongoing work for MTF:
Management of WSA Primer
Address manageability of other WSA Elements
Existing: Service? Service Provider? SEE?  Discovery Agency?
Possible future: Intermediary? Proxy?
Revising Current MTF submissions  based on feedback from industry and other standards bodies

MTF Charter Proposal


The Management Task Force will will provide the architecture, description, and requirements for the manageability property for existing and new WSA elements. This task force will also create a primer that demonstrates the defined manageability properties. All drafts will be submitted to the Web Services Architecture Working Group for consideration, consensus development, and inclusion into the Web Services Architecture specification.
The task force will report to the working group during conference calls and face to face meetings. Email exchanges will be done through the task force public mailing list.
