Agenda
=====
+ Worksheets
+ Catalog

Worksheets
==========
...What is a Business Actor?  The UMM makes reference to base elements from
UML and one of these elements is the Business Actor. ...Would the actor
appear in the Specfication Schema? No.

==> Issue: There is an issue of what goes in the Registry/Repository:
instances of the UMM/BP Metamodel and/or Specification Schema.  Note that
the Reg/Rep can store anything.

Discussion about Roles and Actors...
...Actors can be specific like Nordstrom.com or archetypical like
"DOTCOM"...
Reference the Open-EDI model for definitions (ISO 14662).
==> A url to this document will be made available on the JDT Resources page
(http://www.ebxml.org/project_teams/jdt/resources/)

Discussions about the difficulties that have occurred because of the
divergence of the Specification Schema from the BP Metamodel.
==> The Worksheets are derived from the UMM.  The Worksheets approach should
be able to produce an instance of the UMM/BP Metamodel or the BP
Specification Schema.  There is a concern that has been sufficient design
changes in the Specification Schema that this may not be true.
   ==> The onus of aligning the Specification Schema with the Worsheets is
the responsibility of the Specification Schema team.

Discussion re: Business Role and Authorization Role.  There was discussion
in Vancouver that Business Role would be a useful conceptual tool for the
worksheets however it does not appear in the UMM/BP Metamodel.
==> Charlie to write up on the possible need for Business Role
==> There also needs to be a general write up on Roles in the Worksheets.
What is a difference between all the types of roles and examples.  Brian to
contact Arofan Gregory for a normalized list of Roles.  Nita and Charlie to
attempt a draft write-up.

Note that the Metamodel example is at
http://www.ebxml.org/project_teams/business_process/wip/ccbp-analysis/mmx/.

==> Issue: Who is responsible for assuring that the Worksheets meet the UMM?

Catalog
=======
Discussion about the resuable and searchable parts (e.g. business process
level, transaction level, etc.).

 LEADER:            Mr Brian Hayes

I have set up a permanent "unattended instant meeting" for those access
numbers an passcode.  Thus, we can have adhoc meetings 7x24 providing you
can get me to call in and key in my access code to enable the call.

 INSTANT MEETING SERVICE
 ADDITIONAL FEATURES AND INFORMATION:

 Entry/Exit Tones Turned On
 *0 - Operator Assistance.  Will bring an Operator into the Conference.
 *6 - Self Mute & Un-Mute.  This feature is useful in cases where a
participant
 is in a noisy area and the phone doesn't have a mute button, such as pay
 phones or cell phones.  Works like a toggle switch.

 * How Instant Meeting works:  At the designated meeting time, all
participants
 dial in to the access number and enter their Participant Passcode after the
 voice prompt.  Participants will be placed on Music-on-Hold until the
leader
 arrives.  When the leader dials in and enters the Leader Passcode, the call
 begins.  If the leader arrives first, participants will be entered directly
 into the conference upon their arrival.

 * If the conference leader does not dial in, the call will terminate 20
 minutes after the first participant dialed in.  The conference leader will
be
 charged usage for the time those participants were awaiting the leader's
 arrival. If you would like a meeting to start without you, you can give
your
 leader passcode to a trusted colleague who will be attending the call.
 Multiple leaders can dial in, and as soon as any leader arrives the call
will
 begin.  Keep in mind the leader passcode can be used to start future calls.
 If you feel the security of your leader passcode is compromised, just call
us
 at the number above and we'll change it for you.

 * Your subscription is set up for a maximum number of participants,
including
 the leader.  If more than that number attempt to dial in, they will be
 blocked, and will hear the following message:  "At this time, access to
your
 conference is unavailable.  Please confirm your conference information and
try
 your call again.  If you are still unable to access your conference, please
 contact your conference leader."
