[Go-essp-tech] Out-of-bounds data and QC level 1 checks

Hi all,

we might this discuss this QC aspects at the telco tomorrow. The most 
recent version of WC definition which is available to me is from April 
this year (see PDF attachment). Here QC-L1 contains both, CMOR-2 
compliance and CIM metadata documet availability. But this incudes the 
METAFOR timeline form April with CIM questionnaire availability in July 
2010. This has now postponed to September and we should review and 
finalise the April 1020 status. Along this line we have the discussion 
about access constraints as preparation for the security telco the week 
afterwards.

Would this be ok as topics for tomorrow's telco?

Best wishes, Michael
