- Major issue in the current draft is Alternative Means to provide some needed flexibility in meeting requirements
More about Alternative Means:
• The AAC is developing a formal mechanism to handle/review alternative means that get submitted. FICAM does not want to review all alternative means; they want to trust us with the review process.
• Once reviewed and accepted, alternative means would be published on the wiki and become normative and part of the spec. A future applicant could state in their audit summary that they are using approved alternative means.
• The spec is still draft and may be further revised as we continue our discussions with FICAM. Once they approve the spec (expected in January 2013), we will publish the spec for community review. Then we will announce an implementation extravaganza and discuss implementation programs.
