Agenda items

Welcome new members

Jonathan welcomed Steven White of SeeBeyond and Umit Yalcinalp of Oracle replacing Joyce Yang.

Minutes

Jonathan: Is this one correctly marked as DONE? "ACTION: 2002-11-12: Paco will write two options for naming faults: schema vs WSDL." No, it's still pending.

Was "ACTION: Gudge and Sanjiva to prepare in time for the f2f a draft of the abstract model for interactions" replaced by "ACTION: Sanjiva to write an email to describe the two proposals for the syntax and their mapping to the abstract model" ? No, action item on abstract model is separate from action item on concrete syntax.

Dietmar sent belated regrets.

Scribe: Minutes approved as modified.

Administrivia

Jonathan: to update the draft agenda; any suggestions welcome; 2nd draft to come out tomorrow.

 Sanjiva: wants to add overloading discussion

Jonathan: is Tuesdays discussion item OK?

Sanjiva: yes it's fine

Jonathan: remember to register for March plenary

Jonathan: Telcon next week is cancelled

Publication

Gudge: Work is progressing.  Sanjiva to incorporate Amy's type proposal. Amy's approach is different from Sanjiva's. Should have the draft tomorrow.

Jean-Jacques: Working on part 2. There are no longer any issues to add to part 2. Should be able to re-issue part 2.

Philippe: will wait patiently for the green light before sending the draft to publication.

New issues

Jonathan: Jacek's email may not exactly be a new issue

Jacek: agreed, not new issue

Arthur: may get naming conflicts. not necessarily the case for parts of a message. Don't have any new viewpoint on it.

Jonathan: right now it's an issue we've already decided on. Is there any new info to revisit?

MEP Support

Jonathan: We have Sanjiva's proposal; there has been some email discussion on it.

Amy: Major concern is kludge of event notification. Also need event patterns based on native protocol support.

Jonathan: will continue at f2f

Scribe: Gudge is looking forward to a "good" discussion

Gudge: Absolutely. But I'm pretty sure I agree with Amy!

Properties and features

Jonathan: We will continue the discussion from the last f2f at this (Jan 2003) f2f.

Amy: Could review and summarize. Question is where to put this in. There was general consensus to include but need specific syntax. Maybe we need several proposals to discuss.

ACTION: Amy will try to get something out by tomorrow (Friday) on what the collection of issues are.

Amy: a lot of other issues are dependent on the outcome of this topic.

Removing message

Jonathan: This is on the f2f agenda. Will also add (12) [BindingType proposal from Kevin] to the agenda.

Jeff S: When SOAP work completed, we should see how this fell out naturally. There were 3 or 4 messages on last call for requirements. We also got some discussion on attachments. There was also a long post on accessibility. A 3rd post from David Orchard; maybe good to discuss when architecture is available.

Jonathan: We'll use the warm-up period on Monday AM on the requirements topic
