  -Security: Custom access control policies
	We now what this is. we have a fundamental structure,
	but not the custom policy.

  -Audit Trail support (was logging service. Identify holes and finish
   details)
	Originally, message logging service.
	We can't be really sure the current model works completely.

  -Keyword search of metadata and content
	google type, completely unstructured search mechanism.
	Is it possible this is used for machine to machine?

  -Alternative contextual Naming/Description
	From OASIS.
	Default name/description vs additional name/description

  -Bulk life cycle management of all members of a Package
   (Bulk deprecate, delete)
	This is already supported, and should be deleted from this list.

	We need to describe this in detail. Semantics in specs is not
	clear.(Lisa)

  -CPA Negotiation service
	Getting two parties to negociate the business.

	Scott: this is really a business process and basically out of scope
	       Discussed in TPA and it won't be addressed.

	Lisa: We should make BP process clear before doing this.

  -General ability to host arbitrary services

New items added to the list
  -Internationalization/Localization

  - Alignment with UDDI(Scott H.)


Action Items
============
Yuta: Make clear the schedule between now and Vienna,
      Ask some people about if we can add some features after Geneva

Farrukh,Scott H.:
      (Security team) describe RegRep protocols in XML syntax defined by
      BP schema.

Lisa: Will take a look at TA doc and extract missing functionalities, or
      how they are addressed.
	-> Send comments to Scott.

Yuta: Ask martin brian to get the document CC.

Lisa: Draw a picture to describe various types of clients.
    This is based on a protocol(must use TRP) issue:
    The work "client" is confusing people as if regrep server cannot be
    implemented to serve HTML content.

Farrukh, JP: Post a new query proposal to the list.

Things to do from now
=====================
prioritize the list
    After Yuta post the minutes, group will decide the priority and
    possibly top three items should have leaders to handle them.

London meeting
    We'll have a face2face meeting in London.

Query
    Set up another conf. call next week. Farrukh and JP will
    explain the new proposal, which is supposed to be posted shortly.
