[IV&V1]Art: The requirement is written from the point of view of the county, yet the description is about SOS closing a report of registration.

The requirement and the description are so off from each other, that I suggest the description be reworded to indicate that this use case satisfies an “implied” requirement, if that is accurate.

[BMc] Agreed.

KN: Accepted.

[IV&V2]Art: Wouldn’t there be another precondition that all counties have responded to the survey?

[BMc] I would disagree. I believe it best that we keep the extraction of the ROR separate from the survey. The survey is just a tool to tell us that counties are ready for us to create their extraction. I would hate to be prohibited from closing/locking the survey just because one countyhasn’t answered it even though we know they are done.

KN: Agree with Bruce. No change.

[IV&V3]Art: What business rules? The only one listed below is that counties cannot respond to a closed survey…a rule that clearly would not apply to this use case.

KN: Removed the validation, since there are no relevant business rules to verify.
