  4. How the PLCS-IF Will Work • Initially three rounds of testing per year to accelerate development • Round of Testing activities • Software development • Test data preparation • Pre-processing • Syntax and structure validation • Post processing • Semantic analysis and evaluation • Results documentation and presentation

  6. Results of Testing • Participant specific testing results will not be provided outside the Implementer Forum • The results of testing a particular scenario may be sufficient so that it does not need additional testing • Testing results may require that a scenario is tested again in future rounds.

  7. Results of Testing • Issues with the standard may be uncovered that require changes or extensions to the standard. These will be communicated to the appropriate standards body. • It may not be clear to participants how to implement a specific part of the standard, and recommended practices may need to be developed or modified to guide implementations.

  8. PLCS-IF Membership • The PLCS-IF will be open to any organization that has adapters to the PLCS standard and is sponsored by any of the organizations supporting the PLCS-IF. Participants may include, but are not limited to: • Various branches of the Department or Ministry of Defense • OEM software vendors • First and lower tier commercial and defense contractors • Middleware software vendors • Ongoing Forum operations and maintenance will be supported through a Membership and Participant fee structure
