Discussion: 
During the meetings and telephone conferences of the RTF it has been agreed that this issue is to be closed without change.

An assembly's external ports are well-defined by the component interface that the assembly-based component implementation is implementing. In the Component Data Model, the ComponentInterfaceDescription of the interface is available via the "implements" association of the ComponentImplementation- Description element that the ComponentAssemblyDescription is embedded in.

Therefore, it is not necessary to reiterate the set of an assembly's external ports within the ComponentAssemblyDescription.


Disposition:	Closed, no change
