No objections

4. Action item review
[scribe_marc] 1 pending
[scribe_marc] 2 pending
[scribe_marc] 3 done
[scribe_marc] 4 being done now:
[scribe_marc] DF sent out suggested wording for copyright
[scribe_marc] Only had one statement wrt copyright so we are still incomplete
[scribe_marc] Have asked for copyright from all authors of the attachment proposal
[scribe_marc] Advised by W3C of discomfort with progressing with attachment proposal pending input from attorney
[scribe_marc] And so in this telcon we will continue work on requirements

[scribe_marc] DF: review period ends June 7th
[scribe_marc] DF: earliest REC date June 21st, latest June 28th
[scribe_marc] DF: alert your AC reps...
[scribe_marc] DF: will be requesting testimonials for when REC goes out
[scribe_marc] AK: how deal with issues raised against doc between now and PR
[scribe_marc] DF: they go in 'private hold bucket' for now
[scribe_marc] DF: when we create PR issues list we will add those items to it
[scribe_marc] DF: may have to set up member only issues list if we receive member only comments

[scribe_marc] DF: IP and copyright already covered

[scribe_marc] requirements
[scribe_marc] Discussion last week about wheter to keep R6
[scribe_marc] R7 needs to be factored into thinking
[scribe_marc] R6
[scribe_marc] DF: do we keep it or not?
[scribe_marc] NM: this requirement goes back to the by-reference model
[scribe_marc] NM: now that attachments are modelled as children, use of URI may not be mandatory
[scribe_marc] NM: either drop entirely or make mechanism available for optional use
[scribe_marc] DO: thinks NM is getting to the right place for this requirment
[scribe_marc] DO: if there is a base URI available then any part will also have a URI - feature inherited from XML
[scribe_marc] NM: separate model from implementation
[scribe_marc] doesn't think this requirement belongs to the implementation
[scribe_marc] NM: doesn't think current proposal is clear on role of binding
[scribe_marc] DF: we can choose to set these requirements aside for now
[scribe_marc] MJ: R7 also talks in terms of parts
[scribe_marc] discussion on whether we can continue looking at requirements without getting into details of proposal
[scribe_marc] DF: 7, 11 and 12 talk about part in some detail
[scribe_marc] MJ: seems like most are going to be related to choice of technology
[scribe_marc] NM: old model had parts hanging around in the packaging named by URIs
[scribe_marc] NM: new model quite different
[scribe_marc] not sure that current formulation of requirements applied to proposed model
[scribe_marc] MJ: not sure why we can't talk about abstract parts
[scribe_marc] MJ: is there not still a notion of a part regardless of serialization ?
[scribe_marc] NM: terminology issue. notion of part is choice of serialization
[scribe_marc] NM: requirements apply to one serialization - proposal doesn't separate binding from model adequately
[scribe_marc] DF: proposes that we adjourn the meeting as we are unable to talk about the proposal freely (pending IP release)
[scribe_marc] DF, JS, MN will all pursue getting legalities sorted out ASAP
[scribe_marc] DF: asks authors of doc to send in any fragments of IP+copyright info ASAP
[scribe_marc] DO: process seems to have been more difficult than expected. Are there things can suggest to AB re submissions to WGs?
DF: noted

Meeting adjourned after 1 hour

[RRSAgent] I see no action items
