Re: [DMM] Comments on DMM Gap Analysis.

["Zuniga, Juan Carlos" <[e-mail]>]

Hi Pierrick, all,

The document title is "DMM Practices and Gap Analysis", and the intention is to address both. When we presented at the meeting it I made it clear that we wanted to show our approach to the problem, which was first to agree on what are the "current practices" that we want to consider, and then provide a "gap analysis" wrt the DMM requirements document. 

We are currently working on a new version of the document taking into account the feedback we got at the meeting and on the ML. We will provide more details about the current practices and will take a stab at the gap analysis for discussion. 

Cheers,

Juan Carlos
