Subject: [xri] Minutes of XRI TC Telecons Wed 2005-10-19 and Friday
2005-10-21

Following are the minutes of the unofficial XRI TC calls held 8:30-10:00AM
PT on Wednesday 2005/10/19 and Friday 2005/10/21

WEDNESDAY 2005/10/19

Present:
Drummond
Gabe
Mike
Steve
Kunal

1) CONCEPTUAL MODEL
We spent this call discussing the conceptual models behind XRI resolution as
currently laid out in Committee Draft 01 and as motivated by the proposals
reflected on the wiki at
http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xri/Xri2Cd02/ResolutionChanges. 

It was agreed that there is a proposed shift in the conceptual model about
what an XRI Descriptor document describes. This proposed shift would
generalize XRI resolution to enable simple description of any service
endpoint associated with an XRI-identified resource, and would enable the
same trust model currently employed by XRI trusted authority resolution to
be employed by any other service.

It was agreed that this proposed shift in the conceptual model needed more
discussion and would continue on Friday's call.


FRIDAY 2005/10/21

Present:
Drummond
Mike
Steve
Gabe
Victor
Dave
Kunal
Mohit
Ajay


1) SCOPE OF XRI RESOLUTION
Gabe submitted a proposal that addresses the concept of where XRI resolution
fits:

	
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/15006/HTTP-Aligned%20Resol
ution.doc

We spent the call discussing the conceptual model that this document
suggests, in which XRI resolution is focused primarily on obtaining the
authoritative HTTP endpoint from which to further interact with a resource.
In essence Gabe's proposal is to simplify XRI resolution to two types of
interactions that both involving algorithms for HTTP URI construction:
authority resolution, and what is currently X2R service. Then all other
interactions would be based on discovery from the X2R endpoint.

The feedback on the call was that while these two methods of interaction are
important, XRIDs currently provide a simple service endpoint discovery
mechanism which is highly useful. Losing this simple service endpoint
discovery mechanism, or moving it into another specification that requires
another interaction roundtrip, may not be the best way to optimize the value
of XRI resolution.

2) NEXT CALL
It was agreed that we should continue telecons at least weekly until the
Committee Draft 02 cycle is complete. To accommodate India (but probably not
Japan), these calls will be at 8:30am Pacific time on Fridays. If there is
sufficient demand, we can also continue to hold Asia/US calls on Thursday
nights.

# ACTION ITEM: Drummond will update the TC calendar to reflect the Friday
calls.
