F2F Meeting in Rennes

Scribe: currently 9 people have agreed to attend.

<dbooth> Current registration list: http://cgi.w3.org/Register/selectUser.pl?_w3c_special=listRegistrants&_w3c_meetingName=WSAWG_WSDWG_200305

Scribe: REGISTER - http://cgi.w3.org/Register/selectUser.pl?_w3c_meetingName=WSAWG_WSDWG_200305
... Chairs considering changing agenda, venue and structure based on expected participation.
... Chairs would like to make a final decision by April 10.
... To be considered: use of IRC, time differences, etc.

<Daniel> dbooth is lost in space :)

Scribe: Goals for the f2f :

<Daniel> LOL daniel is pretty sure of it
... Bloody ridiculous...nobody is going to get bombed on the way to France, or Hungary

Scribe: ACTION: chairs to decide and annouce by April 10.
... PLEASE - register or respond to thread now!
... ACTION: Chairs to decide by 12 PST Friday, 03.
... Personally, I would prefer to meet. We are trying to be considerate and responsible in considering changes.

<Daniel> Daniel rejoins after a short hiatus

<dbooth> Registration page: http://cgi.w3.org/Register/selectUser.pl?_w3c_meetingName=WSAWG_WSDWG_200305

Scribe: Change of venue would require a change in schedule to accomodate the 8 weeks notice requirement
... The document has made significant progress. Sections have been assigned and deadline of the 20th set for first drafts.
... Eric would use the time between 20th and may 1 to resolved editoral and structural issues
... May 7, request publication - this is latest date to be done before the w3c AC Meeting
... This publication will help us catch up with heartbeat requirements.
... W3C process strongly encourages regular publication schedule.
... Would like to see us begin working through document establishing consensus.
... There seems to be consensus that we need to publish on or before May 7.

<geoff_a> Publish or perish......?

Scribe: Chairs hear no objection.

<dbooth> "the primary focus of the F2F is to get the document ready for publication"

Scribe: After the 7th, the wg will focus on creating final form of document at f2f and assign activites advance document to next state.
... NOTE - davebooth's focus is wrong, we will publish before f2f!

<geoff_a> which f2f are you referring to?

Scribe: Next f2f in France.

<dbooth> (yes, mine was wrong. please delete it)

<jeffm> i have to drop off - bye

Scribe: No the agenda has not be set. The statement is that the primary goal will be to advance the published document.

<geoff_a> "published document"? Surely "advance draft document with the objective of publication on date X"

<Daniel> Daniel has to leave, and asks Dave Booth to please clear the last agenda item at the end of the call

<ericn> Published meaning the next working draft.

Scribe: I must leave...daveb, can you finish scibing?

<Daniel> bfn, all

Scribe: ttfn

<dbooth> MikeC: JonathanMarsh gave pushback on adding P&F to the WS Arch doc, becuase it isn't proven.
... Hugo: In the P&F TF, are people talking about how P&F fit into the arch? They're an important part of Soap 1.2. So we'll have to integrate them into our work one way or another.
... MikeC: It's a feature in Soap
... ... So maybe we should let WSD noodle and track their progress, then incorporate what they've done into WSA.
... Ugo: Providing that info in a WSDL file is important. It's an important aspect of WSDL that hasn't been specified yet.
... ... Whether it should be part of a policy activity or something else is not what we should say. We shouldnt be prescribing who should do it.
... MikeC: Could WSDL use WS-Policy to do this?
... Ugo: It's a proprietary spec.
... DaveO: WSDL and WS-Policy have potential for interactoin.
... dbooth: What are the criteria for inclusion in WS Arch?
... EricN: Whether it makes sense as an arch element or core concept.
... Geoff: In a more natural arch, we'd want to express WSDL in a policy language anyway.

Hugo's update on WS IG

<dbooth> Hugo: We were going in the direction of a WS IG, with a subgroup focus on semantic WS.
... ... One obstacle was IPR, but I figured them out.
... ... Still need to figure out W3C resources. Hope to have a proposal out real soon.

<geoff_a> could whoever has music on please mute

<dbooth> ... The WS IG would allow people to address semantics (there is a group very interested in this), and there are others (including Mark Baker) interested in comparing WS to other arch styles (e.g., REST stuff), and that may lighted our mailing list.
... ... There is a mailing list, but this would put a formal frame around the list. It would have a chair and team contact.
... ... Joining an IG is done by joining a mailing list. So we probably won't use an existing list.
... Geoff: Where did this start? It first arose because a bunch of people interested in intelligent agents expressed interest.
... ... The desire was to bring together people from intel agents, semantics, WS and other things.
... ... But then there was discussion about other topics being added, and I raised flag about that.
... ... This can stand on its own.
... Roger: That's what I previously understood, and I don't think it should be diluted.
