DavidO: No particular discussion. Proposal for simplifying the text, a couple of positive responses to that proposal
Some of the wording "to the extend that it is reasonable/applicable etc. applies to all goals
Proposal is to close it with the simplified text
mark jones: How does this relate to whether XML is always appropriate?
[chris]

i misspoke when i asked for dag0011 which we covered last week
[hugo]
wasn't DAG0013 mine and DAG0014 Doug's? :)
[Henrik]
Proposal for converting 13 and 14
13 is about W3C coordination, 14 is about outside liasion
Objection raised: we have different relationship to W3C than with outside groups
Hugo discussed follow-up proposal that tries to make the destiction clear
Chair: any decent? proposal accepted.
[hugo]

- DAG0016 [10]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0414.html
Chris summarizes - not a lot of discussion on list
Hao He: this is quite important and we support it
hugo: what does "identify architectural and technology gaps that prevent interoperability" mean?
...discussion...
Chris: propose that we take 'interoperability' out but that we can still talk about gaps
DavidO: What is out process for dealing with a 'technology gap'?
[chris]
identify gaps in the architecture that are not addressed by existing technology and/or standards, recommend and scope formation of new WGs to address identified gaps
[Henrik]
point made: goal is for the WG and not for the architecture
discussion about 'gap' vs. 'component'
Zulah: proposal to split into two aspects: architecture vs. technology
Suresh: We are not building a house but logs or bricks
Daniel: We are talking about relationship of components and not get down to the components themselves
[chris]
identify components of the architecture that are not addressed by existing technology or standards, recommend and scope the formation of new WGs to address these
[Henrik]
Daniel: We have to in some manner to provide a process for identifying gaps and how to address them
DavidO: we should not just look at standards
Henrik: the process for addressing them is within the W3C dealt with by the W3C process
Katia: maybe we say "recommend appripriate action"
DavidO: part of the job is to figure out guidance for what charters may look like as for example starting points
ACTION: Chris (and Zulah): send proposed wording to list and take it to email
- DAG0017 [11]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0438.html
davidO: this doesn't seem to be goals but requirements
Daniel: seems vaque
(summarized by roger cutler)
Daniel: Maybe this is implicit in the other goals
Chris: maybe we should take this as input to the actual requirements
[chris]
http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0461.html
[TomCarrol]
