<cferris> ACTION: Chris to follow-up with Sergey regarding his note: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jun/0047.html [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-ws-policy-minutes.html#action02]

Agenda item # 10 Guidelines Issues

<cferris> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jun/0054.html

Chris: Item 4566

Toufic: Discusses the issue
... Thought the text was misleading

Dave: Echoes Toufic's concern. Looked at it 3 times. But each read was different.

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4566

Dave: Need something some clarity around those that are manifested on wire vs does that are not manifested on wire.

Toufic: Has a proposal.

Asir: waits to see proposal on IRC

Toufic: Reshuffling of wording might be better.

<maryann> +1

whenry: requests to paste proposal on IRC.

<monica> +1

<monica> thereabouts....

<cferris> For behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire, assertion authors should define assertions so that they can be relevant to compatibility tests

Toufic: retypes proposal. (And we can all confirm he is typing it;-)

<toufic> for behaviours that manifest on the wire, assertion authors should define assertions that are relevant for compatibility tests

<maryann> +1

Toufic: Wants to confirm with everyone that this is good.

<abbie> +1

<monica> +1 too

<Fabian> +1

<cferris> proposal: 04 01For behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire, assertion authors should define assertions that are relevant for compatibility tests

Toufic: Is everyone okay with this? If so I'll make the change.

<cgi-irc> Symon Chang 415-402-aabb

Dan: The phrasing reads a little odd to me now.
... If you have a behavior that someone cares about. Should have assertion for compatibility tests. Clause reads incorrectly now.

<dorchard> For behaviours that are relevent to compatibility tests, assertions authors should define assertions for those behaviours.

<cferris> For behaviors that are relevant for compatibility tests, such as behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire, assertion authors should define assertions for those behaviors

Dave: Requests clarification of Dan's issue on compatibily tests

Toufic: This is not saying much as far as I'm concerned.

<cferris> Assertion authors should define assertions for behaviors that are relevant to compatibility tests, such as behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire

Chris: typing what I'm hearing so we can all see it.

Toufic: What is the intend of this best practice?
... Is it to tell authors that when writing assertions about behaviours on the wire then write them in mind of compatibility checks

Chris: Tries to clarify Toufic's point.
... Reiterates Toufic's points

Toufic: That is correct Chris

Chris: Do we want to have two to make it clear?
... Those for maifestation on the wire and one for those that do not maifest on the wire?

Maryann: consider that
... might be better.

Dan: Question: when should you define an assertion?

<FrederickHirsch> +1 to chris

Dan: When defining a protocol on the wire then you should define an assertion.

<asir> there are a couple of best practices for ignorable

Dan: the intent was not to say that if not doing wire manifestation or compatibilty that you should not use assertions.

Toufic: grammer made it look like this was not the case.

<asir> G2 is a best practice .. not a priniciple or a requirement

<cferris> 04 01Assertion authors should define assertions for behaviors that are relevant to compatibility tests, such as behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire or such things as a privacy policy

<monica> c/such things/others such

Maryann: wants to respond to Dan
... Only one other instance in Guidelines with use of compatibility
... I think that the concern is that we're not using terminology consistently.
... Might want to group best practices.
... Might want to group best practices.

Toufic: Thinking about this a lot lately. Maybe I should get on the phone with those that are unhappy.

<monica> put to public list

Chris: Tries one more stab at it. If it doesn't work then it's back to email.

<cferris> Assertion authors should limit definition of assertions to those that are relevant to compatibility assessment (see Framework section 4.5) such as for behaviors that manifest themselves on the wire, or for non-manifested behavior such as a privacy policy

<prasad> so what is left?

Chris: Does this capture?

Monica: remove non-manifested

Dave: Exactly what I didn't like

Monica: "or for other behavior such as privacy policy"

Chris: Trying to capture.

Toufic: Tries to explain Dan's position. Not trying to limit.
... Dan's says it's a good idea to make a assertion for wire manifestation

Chris: If we're to make progress then we'll have to have discussion between the calls on the mailing list.

<FrederickHirsch> disagree with this rephrasing - assertions not only limited to compatibility, but should be stated where it is relevant to compatibility

zakin, unmute me

zamkin, mute me

<cferris> ACTION: Toufic to initiate email thread on issue 4672... wg members to weigh in via email before next week's call [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-ws-policy-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-321 - Initiate email thread on issue 4672... wg members to weigh in via email before next week\'s call [on Toufic Boubez - due 2007-06-27].

<asir> +1 to what Prasad is going to say

Frederick: concerned about changing the meaning

<Zakim> prasad, you wanted to revisit issue 4672 for example 1-1

Prasad: example 1.1. has the same problem. want to make sure people are aware of it.
... same syntatic error.

Chris: good catch.
... added it to the resolution

<cferris> RESOLUTION: revise previous resolution for issue 4672 to address similar error in example in section 1.1

Chris: now on Bug 3978
... Reviews issues and status. Maryann had lots of actions and all done.

MAryann: tried to split out all the different sections. All proposed changes into one document.
... Separate proposals.
... two proposals to consider.

<abbie> sorry guys

There was a bridge issue where another call was dropping in on our bridge.

Chris: asks Maryann to go through each one.

Paul: Require higher level plan.

Maryann: Trying create a diff. A version that people could see the restructure.
... including a table
... DaveO wants to make additional proposal
... If we could discuss then progress could be made while I'm out.

Chris: On editors call you'll disucss what could be done before F2F
... Paul I agree that we need another plan.

Chris reviews Maryann's shedule

Chris: Take the time to walk us through each of the issues.
... Then we can have Editors report back next week on what they can get done.

Maryann: That's fine.
... 317: there is alist of 6 bugs

<cferris> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4654

Maryann: 4654 - policy attachments has 4 parts.

<toufic> sorry, i have to drop off the call

Maryann: reviews the 4 parts.

Chris: Any questions?

Asir: I see best practices. Sounds like a bumper sticker. What exactly is the best practice? And who should be following?

Marryann: Don't understand.

Asir: don't see the best practice yet.

Maryann: This would need to have a statement.

Asir: Do you plan to have a target audience for the best practices.

Maryann: not aware we were targeting. maybe I'm missing something

<FrederickHirsch> is it - assertion authors should not assume attachment points impact meaning of assertion

Asir: maybe I'm missing something
... Sounds like you are talking to policy attachment authors

Maryann: Don't think we were ever targeting policy attachment authors

<FrederickHirsch2> is idea to say - assertion authors should not assume attachment point impacts meaning of assertion

<FrederickHirsch2> not quite sure though of meaning of context free

Asir: Only have a bumber sticker. I'll follow up whne we have a Best Practice

<monica> By default, context is part of policies (which may be confusing with the best practice as written). This should be specific to the attachment mechanism being independent of the policy alternative. +1 to Frederick

Monica: I think that best practices title is very confusing.
... When we see the best practice it will be more clear.

<asir> am also confused because we have another best practice - The semantics of a policy assertion should not depend on the attachment mechanism used.

Paul: Bumper sticker. Word context doesn't appear in the text.
... when described part two: you said it was text from orig. document ?

Maryann: Text got removed from guidelines material

Paul: Now I understand.
... How should we dispose of this item.

Maryann: another proposal that if friendly ammendements we can do another round and then put into the docs.

Paul: at least people said they want to see what the best practice is.

Maryann: I can float something today on the list.

<monica> +1

<monica> my email is: http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Jun/0069.html

Paul: I recommend to assign you an action or go back to this thread and get more text

<prasad> I have a general comment on reorganizing the section

<cferris> ACTION: Maryann to initiate email thread elaborating on best practice related to issue http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4654 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-ws-policy-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-322 - Initiate email thread elaborating on best practice related to issue http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4654 [on Maryann Hondo - due 2007-06-27].

rssagent, where am I?

<asir> I think Prasad is referring to issue 3978

Prasad: Who is this addressed to?

<asir> +1 to Prasad's point .. the proposed text is talking to attachment authors instead of assertion authors

Prosad: It is confusing due to "attachment mechanism" phrase

s/PRosad/Prasad/

Prasad: It's for an assertion author and not attachment author.

Maryann: Felt this was a section that was not giving enough guidance.

Prasad: I understand but the text is confusing.

Maryann: I understand and I was hoping the WG could help me.

Prasad: I understand but the text is confusing.
... I understand but the text is confusing.

Chris: reviews queue

Monica: On the email I sent I had two other comments.
... I'll work them with Maryann.
... Main one is regarding prefered attachment mechanism. How did this get into the guidelines document?

Maryann: Does anyone recall where this one came in?
... explains some history of where item came in.
... A merge occured. This caused me to review the document.

Monica: I don't think we talk about preferences in either document.
... How can we determine the best practices based on what we have.

<asir> based on authoring experience

Chris & Asir: Confused.

<asir> infer from existing policy assertions doc

Chris: Can we move on?

<cferris> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4660

Maryann: 4660
... Make bumper stickers be statements.
... and group them. Restructure the text to make them appear in a certain order.
... Or make another table that would logically group a set of assertions.
... discusses an example.
... Try to have pointers or links that would logically group.
... Tried to rephrase

Asir: Looking at reorganized table. At F2F we decided to drop. Your proposal will depend on latest version.
... Another table in appendix would help. instead of reworking.

Maryann: Right. That's why I had two proposals

Asir: Some ofth ebumper stickers changed at Ottowa F2F

Maryann: Right. That's what I was trying to indicate.

<prasad> +1 to option B (additional table)

Paul: What are we going to do? Is Maryann going to rework ?

Maryann: I could apply to the next stable version.

<dorchard> darn. The editors specifically said that we'd do all edits by monday and give maryann the lock to do these bugs.

<cferris> ACTION: Maryann to update issue 4660 using stable version as baseline in 2 weeks [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-ws-policy-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-323 - Update issue 4660 using stable version as baseline in 2 weeks [on Maryann Hondo - due 2007-06-27].

<cferris> http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4661

Maryann: 4661 related to action item 305
... Looked at text from XML outline
... Trying to reorganize 532
... XML Outline and schema document. Tried to propose to make more generic with optional or ignORable with e.g.

Maryann

Maryann: Using RM example as the example. Just to reorganize best practices so that attributes are used.

Chris: questions anyone?
... related to email that Sergey had sent.
... Sergey suggested more clarity regarding optional or ignorable.

Maryann: Yes or it might be the next item. Hope Sergey can add clarification.

Asir: For this 4662 I had some comments. Will follow-up.

Maryann

<cferris> ACTION: Asir to follow-up on 4662 to relate msft comments [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/06/20-ws-policy-minutes.html#action06]
