Agenda:

MAJOR DISCUSSION RELATING TO EXIT CRITERIA FOR THE FCC FIELD TEST PLEASE
READ!!!!
A general discussion took place at the beginning of the meeting regarding
whether a specific group of test cases needs to be identified as the
minimum set of test cases required to have a
successful FCC Field Test.
THE EACH SPOC WILL WORK THROUGH THEIR COMPANY AND DETERMINE WHICH TEST'S
THAT THEIR NETWORK WILL ALLOW THEM TO PARTICIPATE IN. ONCE THIS IS
KNOWN A MATRIX WILL BE PUT TOGETHER. THIS WILL ALLOW US TO KNOW WHICH
OF THE TESTS CAN BE TESTED. THEN THE TEST COMMITTEE WILL REVIEW THE
MATRIX AND THEN THEY WILL DETERMINE THE "MINIMUM SET" OF TESTS THAT
ARE REQUIRED TO PROVE LRN.
What constitutes a successful FCC Field Test? The SPOC Team read the
FCC mandate and determined that the requirement's listed by the FCC were
very vague. Many of the items listed are hard
to quantify.
EACH SPOC IS TO DETERMINE FOR THEIR COMPANY WHETHER THE FCC FIELD TEST
WAS SUCCESFUL FOR THEIR COMPANY. NO COMPANY WILL GO TO COMMERCIAL
AVAILABILITY IF THEY DON'T FEEL THAT THEY ARE READY NO MATTER HOW
MANY OTHER COMPANY'S ARE SUCCESSFUL.
Who is to determine what constitutes a successful FCC Field Test? If not
the SPOC Team then probably the Test Committee. This issue will be asked
of the Test Committee Chair person Walt Subora.
WALT HAS AGREED TO WORK THIS ISSUE THROUGH THE
TEST COMMITTEE.
The consensus was that some of these items can be determined between now
and the time that the FCC Field Test Report is generated and that the
SPOC Team should concentrate on getting ready for 7/24.
