Actual ballots need to be against completed editing instructions as they will appear in the BPMM FTF Report. I have concerns about two of the proposed approaches: Issue 11184 It is important the .programs. and .projects. are clear distinguish in their respective definitions. The definition proposed for .program. seems very like the typical definition for .project.. Usually .programs. are on-going and cyclical, whereas .projects. are one-off from a beginning to an end. Issue 11189 I thought the Issue statement stated a very simple, clear distinction between two kinds of conformance/compliance/whatever you call it: one kind that is externally imposed and another kind that is self-imposed (internally). Whatever these two kinds are called, I can.t imagine that anyone can confuse the two kinds or say that either one is not significant. There ought to be a consensus on that simple distinction which is all that is being asked for.

The issue from QUT was discussed on our phone call of 7-10 and is proposed to be deferred as it is beyond the scope of an FTF. All of the IBM submitted issues have been analyzed by the authors and, with one exception, fixes recommended. In that one case, there are two possible alternatives and a choice has not yet been made. Please review the issues in the attached set. For each issue, the proposed resolution is marked in yellow. If you are in agreement with the proposals for ALL of the issues, please send an email indicating concurrence with all of them. If you wish to propose an alternative or disagree, please identify the specific issues and your vote pro or con. (con votes may be to close without change, defer, or mark as duplicate). I'd appreciate your votes as soon as possible. Thanks, --Don
