3.  Review of Action items [.1].
?         2003-01-21: Roberto and gudge to create a branch and work up
                      a binding proposal based on referencing type
                      systems directly from operation components.
                      (Umit's example, Sanjiva's example, WSDL 1.1
                      example, and others.)
?         2003-01-30: Jacek to write up text on SOAP response MEP after
                      Gudge and Jeffrey send their proposal for
                      request/response MEP.
?         2003-02-13: Arthur to propose improvements to the URL 
                      replacement mechanism.
?         2003-02-13: Philippe to re-do HTTP bindings to allow 
                      per-method operation names etc.  Arthur to
                      assist.
DONE [.2] 2003-02-27: Philippe to push public draft out.
?         2003-02-27: Editors to capture the "XMLP WG thinks we should
                      describe attachments" issue.
?         2003-02-27: Sanjiva to send summary of 
                      one-portType-per-service issue.
?         2003-03-04: Editors will review specification guidelines by 
                      18 March.
?         2003-03-04: Chair and team will review operational guidelines 
                      by 18 March.
?         2003-03-04: Editors to discuss markup for testable assertions
                      in the spec and come back with a strategy.
?         2003-03-04: Jonathan to recruit a QA contact for the WG.
?         2003-03-04: Jonathan to recruit a test contact for the WG.
?         2003-03-04: Editors of the MEPs to record in that document our

                      intention that a CR requirement be that MEPs that
                      prove their utility will be left in.  The
"utility"
                      metric is that a binding (not necessarily from
this
                      group) which makes use of that MEP be
intereroperable
                      between two vendors.
?         2003-03-04: Editors MEP to add an issue to address 
                      request-response MEP
?         2003-03-04: Editors MEP to suggest meaningful names for our 
                      MEPs
?         2003-03-04: Editors to rename MEP spec to Part 2, old Part 2 
                      becomes Part 3.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
4.  Administrivia
  a. May FTF [.1]
  b. Part 2 issues.  Suggest editors propose both some low hanging 
     fruit, and some juicy morsels for the WG to consider.
  c. Usage Scenarios [.2].  Jonathan's still pretending to track this.
  d. QA contact recruitment.
  e. Test contact recruitment.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
6.  Patterns.  
 a. We discussed (but did not resolve) adding a MEP8 to
    differentiate between generic input-output patterns and 
    request-response.  Suggest a task force to explore this issue 
    and document the pros and cons of the possible approaches.
 b. Soliciting rationale for each pattern [.1]

[.1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Mar/0016.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------
7.  Properties and Features.  What more detail do we need in part 1 
    in regards to features and properties?  What should we do with 
    the PFTF?  What do we need to do to part 2?

--------------------------------------------------------------------
8.  Issue 28: transport='uri' [.1]
    Dependent upon Glen's feature/property proposal.  Can we
    entertain a property-based proposal now?

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/2/06/issues.html#x28

--------------------------------------------------------------------
9.  Issue 2: SOAPAction has been deprecated, as of SOAP 1.2 [.1].
    Jean-Jacques proposal at [.2].
    Jacek's addendum at [.3].
    Dependent upon Glen's feature/property proposal.  Can we
    entertain a property-based proposal now?

10. BindingType proposal from Kevin [.1].  Updated proposal at [.2].
    Do we still have "hard" dependencies?

[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Jan/0068.html

--------------------------------------------------------------------
11. HTTP Binding Issues (6a, 41, etc.)
    Big question: how much do we want to work on this [.1].
    Jeffrey's summary and recommendations (no change) [.2].
    Awaiting proposals from Arthur and Phillippe.

--------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Removing message.  Umit's posting on the value of part as an
    abstract concept of WSDL [.1].  Sanjiva asks for more rationale
    as to why his proposal did not fly [.2], and suggests that
    inheritance and overloading go together [.3].  Roberto's original 
    proposal at [.4].  Direction suggested by Dale [.5]

    Postponed until we have a little better idea of what our bindings
    will look like.  Gudge's responses [.6, .7] to Umit's examples [.8]
