  issues during this period.

4) Communication

  The TAG continued to discuss architectural considerations
  around Internet top level domains (TLDs), specifically the

  The TAG also responded positively to an update from the
  Web Services Description Working Group about the inclusion
  of a "safety" property in WSDL 2.0, in response to TAG
  issue whenToUseGet-7 [1]. The TAG expects to continue to
  liaise with the WSD WG on this matter.
