Problem Statement Document

<jo> Issues and Actions on Problem Statement

Rhys: Open issues... 217

Jo: No strong views but preference is it is a good idea
... document would work better if each problem was followed by a "therefore..." box

Magnus: would like to see it tried first

<jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: ISSUE-217 fold document together as suggested to see what it looks like

<jo> --> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/TaskForces/CT/editors-drafts/ProblemStatement/070911 current draft

Magnus: happy with current structure

Jo: Need to make it clear that the problem statement is only a problem statement, not a solution
... will try to fold together

<jo> PROPOSED RESOLUTION: ISSUE-217 fold document together as suggested to see what it looks like

<jo> [closed ISSUE-217]

Rhys: ACTION-553 - close
... ISSUE-554 - complete?

Magnus: Recent email is response to ISSUE-554

Andrew: Was ISSUE-554 wrongly drafted - should be for the Guidelines?

Magnus: No, thinks the contribution about use of HTTP protocol should be in the problem statement

Jo: (checking minutes) happy to combine with Problem Statement

Magnus: Email was to replace most of section 2.2

Rhys: Sounds reasonable to combine
... we can close ACTION-554

Andrew: Very happy with current Problem Statement

Rhys: Looking at feedback from others

<jo> --> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2007Sep/0024.html Nigel Choi's Feedback

Rhys: Any comments on Nigel Choi's feedback

Magnus: Lots of interesting points that should go into the Guidelines

Rhys: Several people have mistaken the Problem Statement for a solutions docuement

Jo: Should take feedback about document clarity carefully
... could add an abstract to the document

Rhys: That would help

<jo> [jo will add text to abstract and to introduction to clarify that this is a "Problem Statement"]

<scribe> ACTION: Jo Add an abstract to the Problem Statement to clarify the purpose of the document [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/09/25-bpwg-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot-ng> Created ACTION-565 - Add an abstract to the Problem Statement to clarify the purpose of the document [on Jo Rabin - due 2007-10-02].

Jo: Suggest that we treat Nigel's feedback as an issue

Rhys: Suggest that we do the same for Brian Sullivan's feedback

Magnus: ACTION-565 - document already has an abstract

Jo: My note captures action intent

Rhys: Brian's feedback from experience in AT&T
... interesting information about why masquerading is required
... much will be useful in the Guidelines document

<jo> [Raised ISSUE-220 on Nigel Choi's Feedback - against Guidelines]

<Rhys> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-bpwg-ct/2007Sep/0027.html

Guidelines document

<jo> --> http://www.w3.org/2005/MWI/BPWG/Group/track/products/12 Guidelines Issues and Actions

Rhys: ISSUE-218 - timescales

Andrew: Would like to see a target date of end of 2007 for Guidelines

Rhys: Should aim for published draft by next tech plenary meeting w/c 5/11/07 in Boston

Jo: Should be earlier than that

Rhys: We will have to do a formal last call working draft for comments from public
... before that a few steps. Then we must receive and process these comments
... We need to have done a draft immediately after Boston face-to-face in mid November

Jo: If we have a draft in w/c 29/10 we could have another in w/c 12/11

Rhys: 1st working draft can be last-call draft

Jo: Last-call draft indicates to public that the task force is "done"

Rhys: From experience, last-call draft tends to stimulate public comment
... From experience, last-call draft tends to stimulate public comment
