4.  Administrivia
  a. Jan 20,21 Melbourne, Australia hosted by BEA [.1]

f2f is in Melbourne Australia, confirmed
20-21st of Jan with joint session 19th 
<dbooth> JMarsh: F2F to be Jan 20-21 and potentially Jan 19 jointly 
         with Addressing WG.

  b. Mar 3,4? Boston
  c. Good Standing

JMarsh:   planning to send a message to indicate the rules for good 
          standing to encourage participation

  d. XML Com article

JMarsh:   Should we discuss the xml.com article? 
Arthur:   We should invite him to discuss
<kliu> +1 to arthur
Discussion on how we can handle the response continues. 
<asir> +1 to arthur .. rich mentioned that he has more
Jmarsh:   We are not required to have an official response from the wg. 
          Individuals can do it. 
JMarsh:   We can incorporate his comments into our comments list
DBooth:   It will be helpful to engage him specifically. Ask him to 
          send the comments to the list. As we reach closure, we ask his

          opinion on these comments
JMarsh:   We should encourage him to follow our process
ACTION:   JMarsh to draft a response
<pauld1> gentlemen start your (blog) engines :-)

 e. Workload

JMarsh:   We have a lot of work to do. There are two ways to handle this

          use email to do work on the issues or to schedule more telcons
Glen:     I rather use telcons rather than lots of email
JMarsh:   We can issues to champions or smaller groups
Glen:     January meeting is for resolving issues. But Australia meeting

          may not be attended well
<Zakim> dbooth, you wanted to suggest assigning mini-TF's for issues
<scribe> +1 to Dbooth
[I also stated my belief that we won't finish processing comments until
March FTF - JM]

 f. Upcoming telcons

JMarsh:   There is no telcon next week due to Thanksgiving.  Next telcon
          is on Dec 2nd. It coincides with AC meeting. We should hold 
          the meeting due to the work load.  We will decide about Dec 
          23rd as we get closer to the holidays.
DBooth:   Let's shift the telcon.

8.  Issue LC5f: QA Review on WSDL 2.0 Part 1, intro and conformance
                issues (f) [.1]
  - Roberto's proposal [.2]
  - No final resolution from FTF, AIs to DBooth/Roberto and DaveO 
    to write up competing proposals
  - 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?

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/issues.html#LC5f
[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Oct/0027.html

Technical discussion deferred until next week
1) Is it clear that a server must implement everything it's 
   description says it does?
ACTION:   DBooth to propose text to clarify that a service must 
          implement everything in its description

2) Un-recognized required features result in components, un-recognized 
   required element-based extensions don't. Why the difference?
<asir> http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC80
ACTION: JMarsh to add to LC80 the difference between component model
(ref agenda #8)

JMarsh:   LC5f can be handled by a task force
JMarsh:   Who else is interested other than Roberto, DBooth, and
          DOrchard? 
ACTION: Mini-task force to propose one or two proposals for the 
        group for LC5f

------------------------------------------------------------------
9.  Issue LC29b: Review of WSDL 2.0 Pt 3 Last Call WD (b) [.1]
    Issue LC18: Relationship between Features and SOAP Modules ?? [.2]
  - Awaiting Glen's action

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC29b
[.2] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC18

JMarsh:  We need a more detailed writeup on the relationship
Glen:    Is this the same that you don't need a new feature with 
         every soapmodule? A soap module does not necessarily 
         implement a feature.
Action:  Glen to send out the clarification 
[Glen already has such an action, so I'm dropping this - JM]

------------------------------------------------------------------
10. Issue LC54: WSDL Last Call issue

    extension

  - Issue LC56: Clarification for binding fault [.2]
  - Issue LC61d: comments on the wsdl 2.0 working drafts (d) [.3]

<Roberto>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0042.html
<asir> i posted 2 questions on Roberto's proposal
Roberto:  A bindingoperation level fault is added to enable adding 
          modules to faults
JMarsh:   This also allows modules for in/out faults
Asir:     There is new component bindingfaultreference and 
          bindingmessagereference. They are not symmetric. I like the 
          new proposed component. Can we make them similar?
Roberto:  I suggest we should fix binding message reference component. 
Asir:     The proposal is tighter.  Pseudo schema in Part3 does not 
          include F&P and contradicts Part 1.
NEW ISSUE: The Part 3 pseudo schema is not consistent with Part 1 as it 
          does not show where F&P can appear
Roberto:  We should not drop bindingfault as the structure will no
          longer be aligned
JMarsh:   LC55 is two issues (1) why is there parallelism ? (2) Does 
          parallelism allow you to incorporate soap modules? 
Asir:     Proposal remove binding fault component
KLiu:     Qnames in the proposal? What do they refer? 
Roberto:  QName of fault. 
Amendement: It refers to the interface fault
Asir:     We need to update the Feature composition model for the new 
          component.
Asir:     My understanding that QName refers to the fault reference not 
          the interface fault
Roberto:  We only have a name on the interface fault. The name is only 
          chosen via reference to the named component, which is
          interface fault
Asir:     Agrees with Roberto's explanation
There are three amendements to the proposal:
a) Bring Message Reference Component into line with Roberto's proposal.
b) Fix feature and property composition models to accomodate the new 
   component.
c) Clarify that QNames refer to interface fault.
RESOLUTION: Roberto's proposal + amendments accepted. CLOSE 55, 66, 61d

------------------------------------------------------------------
12. Issue LC50: Message Exchange Patterns -- p2c and/or p2e [.1]
  - Discussion with XMLP WG [.2]
  - Awaiting DBooth action

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC50
[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0025.html

JMarsh:   Mini-TF?
DBooth:   I think we can wrap up the issue before we need to activate a 
          TF.  The meaning of "node" is related. 
JMarsh:   For an in-out MEP with an extension with WS-Addressing, do I 
          need to change the mep where the reply goes to someone else? 
Amy:      A MEP with a different replyto, you need another MEP 
Glen:     This is tricky esp when you are going to generate a stub 
          from WSDL. 
Task force to handle this issue: DBooth, Amy, Umit, Roberto, Glen
TF: +Paul
<Marsh> TF for MEP: + JJM or Youenn (right?)
<kliu> I would like to join the TF too
<scribe> TF for MEP: +Kevin

------------------------------------------------------------------
13. Issue LC76c: WSDL 2.0 LC Comments (Part 2) (c) [.1]
  - Hugo and Amy talk at [.2, .3]

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC76c
[.2] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0026.html
[.3] http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0027.html

Amy:     Hugo's email suggests that binding can override the propagation

         rules.  This is not a good thing. In general, all the 
         propogation rules say that there is a particular direction and 
         place. There is no absolute guarantee in the real world of 
         course
JMarsh:  If I am using a service that logs the faults then I should not 
         advertise a MEP that sends a fault back? 
Amy:     Most of what we need is a clarification. If you need a
         different propogation rule, specify a different mep
ACTION: Amy to clarify the propagation rules

------------------------------------------------------------------
14. Issue LC74e: I18N Comments, WSDL 2.0 Part I (partial) (e) [.1]
  - Awaiting Roberto's further action

[.1] http://www.w3.org/2002/ws/desc/4/lc-issues/#LC74e

<Roberto>
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-desc/2004Nov/0044.html
JMarsh:   Is there anything we can do before we decide about backing out

          the XML 1.1 support? 
Roberto:  Not clear whether these all his issues or whether there are 
          more I18n...
JMarsh:   The concerns will go away if we remove XML 1.1 support

JMarsh:   I will get 2 of these task forces going. 

Meeting ends
