   thanks Dan

   Larry only recently reviewed document

   NoahM:We'll defer worrying about ACTION-257 until progress is made
   on ACTION-261.

request from Rick Jelliffe that the TAG should be involved in future of
XML Schema

   NoahM: how much progress can we make?
   ... if we did get involved, would want Henry and Tim to comment

   <DanC> (I couldn't find mail from TimBL on this... oh... guess I
   missed [19]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/05/14-minutes#item05 ...)

     [19] http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/2009/05/14-minutes#item05

   NoahM: there is a link to Rick's clarification of his request in
   today's agenda. His suggestion, if I understand it, is that the XML
   Schema spec is not appropriately layered. Thus, the W3C should hold
   up XSD 1.1 at CR to allow for such a layering to be invented. We
   need to decide what the TAG's role in this is wrt/ W3C process, and
   also whether any TAG members advocate our getting involved in this.
   It is in our charter that Tim has the option to ask us for advice at
   any point, should he wish to, but that's up to him to initiate.

   Ashok: Rick has a very specific recommendation, to either start a
   working group or, within the working group, to produce a smaller,
   focused language

   NoahM: I would like to know whether any TAG members feel we should
   undertake work on this.

   <jar> LM: How does this issue hold up against potential-issue
   acceptance criteria?

   <LM>: Think about our criteria for taking on TAG work, such as being
   asked by a working group, etc. ... There is another venue for this
   discussion. Not clear whom we would influence. I'm not specifically
   opposing his proposal.

   <LM>: I'm remembering our discussion at the last F2F about criteria
   for undertaking TAG work. I don't think we should do this now, but
   should explain why.

   jar: this is one of those issues where the questions cut across a
   lot of different WGs in W3C
   ... XSD does seem like it's worth a look, trying to follow rdf:text,
   XSD is in the center around OWL, SPARQL and ...., and they don't
   know where to go

   nm: could you clarify how the issues you are relating with rdf:text
   vs. RickJ's specific proposal

   jar: It's my instinct that there ought to be some interaction around
   this. When a single working group has trouble dealing with this.

   <DanC> (the analogy seems to be that both rdf:text and XSD 1.1
   comments involve/impact multiple WGs)

   ashok: what jar is talking about is specific datatypes, and that we
   ought to be able to add datatypes. Rick's proposal is almost
   entirely about Schema Structures, and so is pretty much unrealted to
   rdf:text.

   these things are both important but different

   jar:OK

   <DanC> (boy it takes a long time to not talk about something. ;-)

   <LM>: Can we publish out criteria for work, and point to that as a
   reason?

   <DanC> (are those criteria already written down, LMM?)

   yes, point to it

   NoahM: I would like to see where we stand, and ask you to choose
   informally among two options for what to do right now. Noting that
   nobody here today has been willing to say that the TAG should work
   on this, but that we are missing two members who may be concerned,
   should we:
   1) Decide now, as Larry suggested, that we have considered Rick's
   request, have no opinoin on the merits, but are not getting involved
   (will check with HT and Tim before committing)
   - or -
   2. Defer until next week

   Ashok: in favor of 2

   Larry: in favor of 1

   DanC can support both

   JK: goes for 2

   jar: abstain

   noah: abstain

   <NoahM> JK: want more evidence that there's something we should work
   on

   <DanC> (are you sure you want "more evidence"? I bet what you really
   want is _less_, John)

   <DanC> (i.e. a pointer to one specific thing)

   RESOLUTION: leave this for a week, see if any discussion, will come
   back briefly possibly just to decide whether to take on the issue

F2F agenda

   <NoahM> Raman would like to make Web Application State a topic. We
   should have specific deliverables for F2F.

   issue-60?

   <DanC> (where did raman make that suggestion? looking...)

   NoahM: I went back and looked at the agenda & minutes to see what
   have we talked about since last F2F
   ... I did not survey the mailing list for topics, however.

   <DanC> (I lean on [21]http://www.w3.org/2001/tag/group/track/agenda
   for agenda building... looking at it now...)

   (discussion about use of tracker, action, and issues, not minuted)

   <NoahM> From minutes of last week: noah: Versioning discussion seems
   wrapped up for now...

   <jar> danc, don't all open actions constitute implicit actions, on
   the "shepherd" (raiser) to drive them to completion?

   <DanC> to some extent, yes, an open issue constitute and implicit
   action, but tracker is tuned for explicit actions (based on
   experience that that's the way people work)

   <DanC> ("raman's request" -- I can't seem to find that; help?)

   <scribe> ACTION: Larry to provide additional material for review

   <trackbot> Created ACTION-270 - Provide additional material for
