Agenda:

1. Minute taker - Waqar Sadiq

2. Approval of Minutes
2a. Minutes from 6/20 telecon. approved.
2b) Minutes from F2F were approved

3) Review of Action Items
	- JM pointed out that the issues list on the group page points to the raw list rather than the combined issues list.
	- SW: It is easier to see a symbolic string for the issues rather than a cryptic number.  
	- Jonathan wanted to keep it as it is for existing issues.  
        - DB: Mentioned the editorial issues.  The proposal was to change the terminology for operations.  
		It would make the terminology consistent.  Nobody had problems.  
		These would be just terminology and not syntactic changes.  The terms such as request-response 
		will be deprecated and will be defined more clearly in the golssary section.
	- DM: Now that we have adopted the terminology change, we need to revisit and rephrase issues.  
        - SW: Don't think that makes much sense.
	- JM: Asked Dale to identify the issues that might be affected by the terminology change.
		Action item for DM to identify and rephrase the affected issues.
	- SW: (SOAPAction#1) - Pending.
	- JJM: (SOAPAction#2) - Pending
	- Issue 18 - Pending
	- Issue 23 - Done
	- Issue 24 - ?????
	- Issue 30 - Done
	- Issue 32 - Duplicate.  JJM expressed confusion anout the issue.  JM decided that we will revisit the issue
			and clarify it.

4. JM - Soap task force meeting will be held at 8:00 AM EST on Monday.

5. Sandeep will be the primary representative from CISCO, replacing Krishna.  JM - No apparent need to find a replacement for Krishna's editorial responsibilities.

6. Requirements document 
	- New draft requirement were submitted by Sanjeewa earlier.
	- SW: These are 2 new requirements that should be added?
	- TJ requested clarification about how WSDL would be affected.
	- JM: Can we publish our requirement document or should we first talk about these draft requirements?
	- TJ: Should go ahead and make it a draft requirement but would like to understand them better.
	- JS: Comfortable to add this as a draft requirement but needs further discussion.
	- Resolution - Add these 2 as draft requirements.  Postpone publication of the requirements document untill we have 
		better understanding and have had chance to investigate these 2 new requirements. 
        - ACTION - JS will add the draft requirements to the document.

7. WSDL 1.2 Part 1&2

		by next Thursday.
	- No objections to publishing Part 1 by next Thursday.

	- All those issues will be marked as resolved.
	- Issues 26 & 60 will remain on active list and be resolved over the next few weeks.

9. Action: Issues list editors to look at them and make sure that they are not duplicate and add them to issue list.

10. Editorial Issues
	JM: Would it be more productive to provide people some time (2-3 week) to review and agree and identify the editorial 
		editorial issues.  The editors can then ake the editorial corrections and dispose
		them off withou tfurther discussion.
	Resolution: 2 week deadline to point out and verify editorial issues list. 

11. Overloading operations:

	could be in the primer.
