<trackbot> Created ACTION-253 - Convey the disposition of WSDL WG comments to the WSDL WG [on Christopher Ferris - due 2007-03-21].

<cferris> 4301, 4304, 4389

Paul: Need to clean up Bugzilla issues: 4301 4304 and 4389

<trackbot> Created ACTION-254 - Research resolutions to these issues and update bugzilla accordingly: 4301, 4304, 4389 [on Christopher Ferris - due 2007-03-21].

Paul: New CR attachment issue 4391 needs to be added to the Agenda. Conduct first.
... Issue 4212 needs to also be added.

Issue 4391

http://www.w3.org/Bugs/Public/show_bug.cgi?id=4391

MaryAnn: Used text to Issue 4212 when I proposed 4213 mistakenly. This could be used.

Paul: Need to revisit 4212 and 4213.

<paulc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0085.html

Paul: Need to revise reference for UDDI v3.
... Need to resolve actual link used.

<prasad> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0089.html

Paul: Usual reference is to a specific version.

<prasad> http://uddi.org/pubs/uddi-v3.0.2-20041019.htm

Prasad: There is v3.0.1 and v3.0.2.

Paul: Why is this a Committee Draft?

Tom: May be non-standard time of spec.

Monica: Should use OASIS version.

<paulc> OASIS standards page URL:

<paulc> http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/doc/spec/v3/uddi-v3.0.2-20041019.htm

Monica: Amendment to use OASIS version as a standard.

Prasad: Change normative reference in WS-PolicyAttachment.

RESOLUTION: Issue 4391 - Accept OASIS reference as update to normative reference in WS-Policy Attachment.

Use http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/uddi-spec/doc/spec/v3/uddi-v3.0.2-20041019.htm

RESOLUTION: Issue 4391 - Include new references in CR for WS-PolicyAttachment.

Issue 4292

<paulc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0098.html

<charltonb> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0098.html

Charlton: Have Ignorable policy. Policy may be consumed using lax mode. Consumer would apply by default strict mode. Failure occurs.

Difficult to discern why.

Cases exist in business process area.

Have tool to assist report such cases.

Frederick: Why use Ignorable and strict mode?

Confused.

Charlton: You are confused.

Ashok: Client and server intersection - one strict and one lax.

<fhirsch3> Response to my question is provider wants client to use lax mode with regards to ignorable assertions

Would they fail or get different policies resulting from intersection.

Charlton: The provider doesn't want the policy applied.

MaryAnn: Policies would intersect rather than fail. Would end up with no alternatives.
... Not limited to only mode - more generic issue.

<asir> this is a repeat of 4130

Chris: To recap - Ignorable with strict mode - if you want to enforce strict mode, then don't use Ignorable. Need to allow consumer to make a decision.

<danroth> If you want to force requesters to ignore an assertion then don't publish the assertion

Privacy policy is a case.

There is no use case where you would want to force someone to use Ignorable.

Charlton: If there are no resulting alternatives given the Ignorable, you want to report.

MaryAnn: Could process both ways.

<GlenD> +1 scribe

Paul: This is v.next.

<GlenD> Selecting strict or lax processing is PURELY up to the consumer.

<GlenD> Always.

<prasad> Agree

<GlenD> Marking something as ignorable is up to the provider.

Monica: Perhaps this is additional text for the Primer now.

<cferris> +1

Paul: Check for lax or strict in Ignorable case.

<GlenD> The whole point is to allow different kinds of clients (banks with serious ridiculo-strict policies and web hackers who don't care about retention stuff) to use the same policies successfully to their needs.

<abbie> i hope u do not publisize our attention to hackers

Asir: In previous discussion, we said we just allow consumer to choose.

Monica: There is 4.3.1 or Lax and Strict

MaryAnn: Two aspects apply - negotiation/selection is v.next. Second, we could document in Primer some manual guidance (poor man's selection).

<prasad> The spec (FWK) says: There are two modes for intersection: strict and lax. How the mode is selected or indicated for the policy intersection is outside the scope of this specification

<asir> here is what i found from the Sonic F2F discussion ...

<asir> Requestors have the option to chose one or more modes for policy intersection (strict | lax | strict, delegate-to-user | lax, delegate-to-user | strict, lax, delegate-to-user | ...). A provider may provide requestors with out-of-band information to influence the choice of mode for policy intersection.

RESOLUTION: Issue 4292 Resolve as v.next.
... Issue 4292 Open new primer issue to address poor man's selection.

<cferris> ACTION: Charlton to open new primer issue to relate to the discussion of 4292 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/03/14-ws-policy-minutes.html#action03]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-255 - Open new primer issue to relate to the discussion of 4292 [on Charlton Barreto - due 2007-03-21].

<prasad> If a requester wishes to ignore ignorable assertions in a provider's policy, then the requester should use the lax intersection mode.

Issue 4262

<GlenD> prasad: +1, I would think that was sort of self-evident from the spec

<paulc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0095.html

Prasad: Talk about this aspect with a new Section 2.8 after 2.7.

Place in Primer instead of Guidelines.

You can mark an assertion with both.

Say two alternatives are possible.

Separate question about Section 3.4.1 to talk about mode, intersection and understandability.

Reference back to Section 2.8.

Monica: Separate issue will be opened.

<cferris> ACTION: Monica to create new primer issue related to 4262 [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/03/14-ws-policy-minutes.html#action04]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-256 - Create new primer issue related to 4262 [on Monica Martin - due 2007-03-21].

Ashok: Sergey has recommended we not allow them to be used together.

Asir: What is the justification?

<GlenD> -1 to disallow this

<GlenD> it may not be common, but it certainly makes sense in the model, and does not confuse processing

Paul: This is a confusing message, per Sergey.
... Don't you have Ignorable regardless if Optional is absent, per Sergey.

<paulc> The WG looked at:

<paulc> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0101.html

Tom: This is converse to my understanding. We don't handle Ignorable as a special case attribute.

<cferris> 06q+ to ask editors if the media type test case has been incorporated into the test scenarios01

Asir: In previous discussions we answered multiple questions to Sergey.

This reopens these questions.

<cferris> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0095.html

http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0101.html

<cferris> q later

<paulc> Proposed amendment:

<fsasaki> replies from Asir to Sergeys earlier questions at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2006Nov/0100.html

MaryAnn: Amendment: Add 'in normal form' to text about two alternatives

<asir> Felix, thank you for the pointer

<paulc> a) change "is equivalent to two alternative" to "is equivalent to two alternatives in normal form"

Monica: We didn't disallow because we lack the mechanics currently do so in the Framework.

RESOLUTION: Issue 4292 Accept proposal http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0095.html and amended as follows change "is equivalent to two alternative" to "is equivalent to two alternatives in normal form".

WSDL v1.1 Identifiers

<GlenD> I would actually propose the tiniest of friendly amendments to that last... put parentheses around (with @wsp:ignorable="true) in the last sentence

<GlenD> but I can email that

Paul: Publish as a Working Draft.

glen, hold please.

Paul: End up as a Technical Note.

<cferris> http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/public-ws-policy/2007Mar/0060.html

RESOLUTION: Assign to the Editors to publish WSDL v1.1 Element Identifiers as revised Working Draft with other publications by end of March 2007.

<prasad> Glen, I think we can handle that at the Editors level

Paul: Will work on Status section update.

<cferris> ACTION: Felix to publish revised WSDL1.1 Identifiers document as WD [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/03/14-ws-policy-minutes.html#action05]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-257 - Publish revised WSDL1.1 Identifiers document as WD [on Felix Sasaki - due 2007-03-21].

<cferris> ACTION: Editors to double check that the republished Attachments document reflects the latest WSDL1.1 Identifiers draft [recorded in http://www.w3.org/2007/03/14-ws-policy-minutes.html#action06]

<trackbot> Created ACTION-258 - Double check that the republished Attachments document reflects the latest WSDL1.1 Identifiers draft [on Editors - due 2007-03-21].

Paul: Update WS-PolicyAttachment to show the newest WD for WSDL v1.1 Element Identifires.
