Fwd: Re: please send proposal form

[Nicholas Kassem <Nick.Kassem@eng.sun.com>]

Dear POCers,

Please find attached a proposal which is still work-in-progress and I 
haven't  reviewed it but in the interest of time I'm forwarding to you (as 
is) for your review/consideration.
Feel free to comment/question prior to our next conf. call.

Regards,
Nick

Meeting notes for conf. call 8/24/2000
===========================

- There was agreement that the Fujitsu proposal was sufficiently high-level 
that it was safe to use it as the seed document. This does not mean that we 
will not consider any other proposals - it just means we now have a 
starting point and we will build on this and refine the document.

- There was agreement that we could manage and therefore have have at most 
one or possibly two controlling documents i.e. scenarios sanctioned by the 
ebXML executive.

- There was agreement to create four sub-proposal teams. The goal is to 
have these teams pull together their respective parts of the proposal and 
then help pull together the overall document - each team will need to have 
a draft proposal out for review by the next conf call i.e. 9/7/00 at the 
latest. The leads are; Phillipe (TR&P), Dale (Reg/Rep), Mark (BP/CC). Steve 
will own pulling the whole document together. Thanks for volunteering folks.

- Melanie gave a brief intro on the GCI work - It sounds like we should 
spend some cycles and understand the business message that could be crafted 
around GCI for possible inclusion in Tokyo - the IP status of GCI BP 
modelling work seems clear - the DTDs/Schema is copyrighted but is in the 
public domain - the only caveat is that this is still work in progress. 
Melanie will work with Steve and table the business scenario for review. I 
would like the high level message reviewed by the STC asap.

- Agreed to send the word out and solicit input to any and all who would 
like to contribute to the POC - remember if it isn't backed by ebXML specs 
it's DOA.

- Agreed to postpone the decision on the need for a f2f meeting - will 
revisit this later. Agreed to Shift the *possible* f2f meeting to 17->19 of 
October. Hatem (ipnet solutions) has volunteered to host the f2f if needed 
- he is in Southern Cal. - details on this later.

Apologies

I inadvertently left out Krishna Sankar (Cisco) from my earlier list of 
interested parties for the Tokyo POC. Moral of the story is that you are 
only as good as your last meeting attendance ;-)
