minutes of today's conference call

[Martin W Sachs <mwsachs@us.ibm.com>]

Attendees:  Becky Reed, Dale Moberg, Zongwei Luo, Marty Sachs

I reviewed the plan from here to Vienna.  Our QR deadline is March 26.
However because of day-job committments at the end of next week, my
deadline is March 21.  I expect that the submitted draft will include
addressing the last set of QR comments and incorporation of the results of
the various open items that come in this week.  After Mar. 21, there will
still be some technical loose ends that we will continue to work on and
must complete by the time our responses to the next QR comments and the
comments in this round of public review are due. Major new function beyond
that time would be a problem for approval in Vienna, so we must treat any
major new matters as post-Vienna.

We discussed some of the open work items.

   Becky has supplied improved text for the FTP endpoint.  I posted it to
   the list yesterday.

   Chris expects to complete the security profile and synchronous messaging
   function by the end of the week.

   Dale suggested that the send capabilities may need to have something
   about synchronous messaging.

   We agreed that anything about automated negotiation must be reconciled
   with what is now in the CPA composition appendix and is post-Vienna.  I
   pointed out that inclusion of anything normative on negotiation would
   need extensive discussion, perhaps involving the steering committee
   since it is far outside our agreed scope of work.

We agreed to continue our weekly conference calls at least as brief
checkpoints.  The next call will be Wed. Mar. 21.

Regards,
Marty
