==Workstream Overview==

This workstream will be working on creating the RAS API specification.  

===Problem Statement===

Having no industry standard for RAS management makes each HW vendor solution specific and resource intensive; while delaying RAS feature adoption. <br />

When creating a specification to solve the standardization problem some major pain points need to be considered:

* Specification for  common '''abstraction''' for RAS  between software and hardware that is '''vendor agnostic''' as well as '''platform agnostic'''.
* Connectivity for RAS management should allow '''co-existence''' of In Band and Out of Band methods
* '''Logging''' mechanism must solve RAS unique problems (Error storms, error sampling, etc.) 
* RAS feature '''abstraction''' should be generic enough to have open source drivers that can do a reasonable job at managing RAS;<br /> while leaving the opportunity for hardware vendor to differentiate and keep innovating. 

===Methodology===

The current baseline is [https://docs.google.com/document/d/1LhGtwIdhw7XuH84rPfRRq8grhl-fsIN1/edit?usp=share_link&ouid=115560947677973489092&rtpof=true&sd=true Revision 0.8].  We plan to meet with companies that agree with this objective in order to draft a complete specification that solves the problem statement.
