  Scheduling deliverables:
    Complete Last Call comments by January?
    Primer pub 15-20th Dec.
    SOAP 1.1 binding pub shortly.
    Assigning Media Types Note - issues will be tracked on WG issues
list
    
  Editorial issues:
    Issues 74g, 78 referred to editors
    
  Issue 5f:
    No final resolution, AIs to write up competing proposals
    ACTION:   DBooth and roberto to describe option 2 (remove definition
of 
              processor conformance, write up clear guidelines to 
              developers)
    ACTION:   DaveO to work on text for option 3 (redefining conformance
in 
              terms of building the component model)
    Potential new issues:
      1) Is it clear that a server must implement everything it's 
         description says it does?
      2) Un-recognized required features result in components,
un-recognized 
         required element-based extensions don't. Why the difference?

  Issue 49:
    Issue closed by:
      1) Rewording 8.1 as follows:
         "An element information item whose namespaces name is "...wsdl"

         and whose local part id definitions conforms to this 
         specification if it is a valid according to the XML schema 
         for that element as defined by this specification (uri to 
         schema) and additionally adheres to all the constraints 
         contained in this specification family and conforms to 
         the specifications of any extensions contained in it."
      2) add conformance sections to each of the bindings.
      3) + 8.3, clarify that "this specification" means Part 1.
      4) + adding a note advising extension specification authors to 
         have a clear statement of conformance.

  Issue 54:
    ACTION: DaveO will recast the @compatibleWith proposal using an 
            extension namespace.

  Issue 48d:
    RESOLUTION: Use Glen's text to clarify AD example, explain in 
                intro to AD feature what the intended use is, and
                add that it SHOULD be used at interface level while
                discouraging use at binding level.

Wednesday:

    Asir's changes to Part 3 and proposal for SOAP 1.1 WD adopted as

the 
                  mapping rule table.
      RESOLUTION: Add text indicating which MEPs are supported by the 
                  SOAP 1.2
                  and SOAP 1.1 bindings.

      RESOLUTION: remove the http method selection and soap mep
selection
                  rules
      RESOLUTION: add a non-normative reference to BP within the soap
1.1
                  binding spec as explanation of how in-only WSDL MEP 
                  maps to soap 1.1 over HTTP.
      RESOLUTION: Add text in section 3.2 that soap modules in 11 are
                  adopted from SOAP12 and then soap11 modules need to 
                  have a uri.
      RESOLUTION: drop SOAP feature in 11 binding and define one URI 
                  for SOAP11 HTTP binding
      RESOLUTION: add mention info from charter to soap11 intro
    NEW ISSUE: Make sure in-only mep is supported in wsdl soap12 binding

  Formal Objections:
    F&P/Compositor compromise from Glen:
