XDR and XDM for Direct Messaging
(aka XD* for Direct)

Specifies a version of XDR separating addressing metadata from the XDS metadata, and allowing for use of minimal metadata, including non-patient related payloads
Being edited, based in Imp WG Review
HISP Developers, EHR Developers, SDOs, Testers
Owners: Arien driving meetings;
Editors: John M, David Tao, others
1/12: Arien and Karen to revise based on imp group feedback. Needs security section to be filled out too (Threat assessment is done, but summary needs to be brought over.)

Owners: John M
Editors: David Tao, Noam, Janet, Andy, Karen
1/12: John looked at the changes, but didn't end up changing a lot of them. Whether we should show XDR end-to-end is a question that we can't answer until we decide what it means to be Direct Project compliant.

Being edited based on D&T review

Testing Guides

Inclusive of artifacts gathered from other teams (Security & Trust, Reference Implementation, etc.) but also derivative after components are sufficiently developed to align for testing services. High-level test cases and flows.
Draft, undergoing baptism by fire

Owners:Michelle Smith
Contributors: See Beau, RIQI
1/12/2011: Make the ref imp group go through all the tests, then consense (?)
Do we need to do something more formal and consensed? Something that we could use for "pass/fail." And even better, automated testing.
