------------------------------------------------------------------

5.  New Issues.  Merged issues list [.1].
[.1] 
http://dev.w3.org/cvsweb/~checkout~/2002/ws/desc/issues/wsd-issues.html

  - Proposal for advertising QoS features of a Web service in WSDL [.2]
    Status of this "submission"?  IP?  QoS is out of scope.  Relates to
    properties and features.

[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003May/0020.html

... NO IPR issue exists. Two new elements are proposed to be added, 
(supports and requires) that may be used to indicate QoS. Phillippe 
thinks it is more in the scope of WS-Policy assertions. Jonathan asks 
what the wg should do with this document. Umit suggests we may cover it 
when we discuss properties and features in the f2f. Jonathan will add it 
to the agenda.

  - Kevin: Part 1 clarifications [.3]
[.3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Apr/0166.html


... Kevin reiterates that clarifications are required for the tool 
developers to the process WSDL documents. Jonathan indicates the points 
raised will be useful for developing the test assertions. The editors 
will add the comments as a new issue.

--------------------------------------------------------------------

6.  Proposal for restricting a service to a single interface [.1].
  - Related issue (?) dynamic discovery of a service [.2].

[.1] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Apr/0069.html
[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003May/0004.html

... Jonathan thinks [.2] is related to item 7. and should be covered in 
that scope.

... Discussion deferred to f2f.

[.1]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2003Apr/att-0088/R085-2003-04-22.html
