Proposed Terms of Reference and Programme of Work for the RGCPA



Terms of Reference
------------------

To coordinate the participation of WG15 in all profiling
activities related to WG15 standards, including, for example,
framework and taxonomy development.

To identify how WG15 standards should be used in profiles, thus
promoting coordination and harmonization of those profiles, and to
provide guidelines for the further development of WG15 standards
in order to ease their use in profiles.

To monitor activities relating to SGFS activities and profiles
referencing WG15 standards, and to prepare feedback directly to
SGFS on both procedural matters (that is, the use of the profiling
techniques) as well as the technical content of those profiles.

Programme of Work
-----------------

Identify, establish and maintain liaisons with groups developing,
or planning to develop, profiles.

Invite developers of profiles referencing WG15 standards to
participate in the RGCPA for the purposes of coordination.

Review of Profiles

  -  Review, and make recommendations on, the P1003.0 guide.

  -  Obtain early visibility of profiles that reference any POSIX
     standards (not limited to WG15 work items).

  -  Review and respond to SGFS on behalf of WG15 regarding
     ISP and TR10000 issues.

  -  Advise WG15 about new work required to enable current or
     future profile production.
