HP Labs at Bristol offers dates in August
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005AprJun/0383.html

Rough data on who wants to meet when.
Several people reported being on holiday in Aug:
Jeen  - 4-8
EricP - sometime
AndyS - 15-19
KendallC - sometime


3. FILTER() and ambiguities

AndyS pointed at messges
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005AprJun/0338.html
and
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-rdf-dawg/2005AprJun/0341.html
and requested feedback on what changes to make to address some
ambiguities.

Two proposals were discussed:
1. All the builtin functions are allowed w/out the outer brackets
  with FILTER.  Builtin functions are STR, LANG, DATATYPE, REGEX,
  BOUND, ISURI, ISBLANK, ISLITERAL 

2. To adopt an explict syntax for function calls (which makes q:name
  and () empty list separate from &q:name() function call) 

A strawpoll was held (see irc) and the editors were encouraged to
take that as advice to choose a solution.

(later AndyS reported the changes, using proposal 1.

4. Yacker grammar for SPARQL query

EricP explained what yacker did

http://www.w3.org/2005/01/yacker/uploads/sparqlTest?lang=perl&markup=html#prod-sparqlTest-Query
and requested that it was used in the query language spec as he
thought it was useful.

This point was discussed along with other places the yacker code
could be refered too.  Some concern was given to having two grammars
and having to compare them.  After some further discussion EricP
withdrew the request.


5. Last call for SPARQL QL

Action AndyS: revise rq23 per fromUnionQuery decision
DONE

The editor's reviewed the status.  Eric is caguht up or will be soon.
AndyS had a comment from DanC and one from comments list pending plus
some markup issues.  AndyS requested that the xml results format
needed a datespace namespace and an update would be needed from that.
Most of the rest were small edits

rq23 reviewers:
  KendallC - nothing that needs hold up last call
  JeenB    - mostly editorial, all of whic seem addressed. pretty much
happy
  SteveH   - not present

Discussed last call timing and gathered advice for the WG chair:
 AndyS - wants a period where all 3 documents are in LC simultaneously
 DaveB - no time issues
 KendallC - LC overlap to be at least a month.
          - protocol to have a longer LC period, ready for LC in <1
month
          - query to be 2-3 months duration
          - suggest 10-12 week LC for query with 4 weeks LC overlap

PROPOSED: to publish rq23 (1.395) , addressing FILTER and 3 editorial
changes, with KendallC & JosD reviewing these changes post 1.395, as
a Last Call Working Draft

publish: UMD, Bristol, HP, Agfa, NT&T, HowardK, JeenB, W3C
opposed: none
abstained: none

(Souri, not a WG member at this time offered support to publish)

RESOLVED, go to last call for SPARQL QL

ACTION: EricP Arrange publication of SPARQL QL
ACTION: EricP Work w/ danc on SOTD and LC
ACTION: Danc Draft message to chairs
ACTION: AndyS Make editorial changes to rq23
ACTION: KendallC Review post 1.395 doc changes
(later this may be done in:
