Minutes
Preliminary Discussion
Tim inquired whether there are any existing standards
for security profiles and suggested that it would be
good to start collecting examples. Marty asked if the
ebXML risk assessment team had done anything in this
area. Dale replied that they'd done some, but wasn't
sure how much made it into the final document.
Next Face to face Meeting
Dale announced our next meeting is tentatively planned
for Oct. 1 - 3 in the San Francisco Bay area. SAP can
host the meeting. Details will be forthcoming, after
which Dale will ask for preliminary responses from team
members regarding prospective attendance. Ian Jones
of the Messaging TC agreed to co-locate their next meeting
with ours from Oct. 3 - 5 and to meet jointly with us
on Oct. 3.
Minutes of Previous Face to Face Meeting
We discussed a request from Aynur Unal of e2Open to
be listed among the attendees of the Scottsdale F2F.
By consensus, we'll take up the matter during the next
voting meeting. It was pointed out that dates of the
July 24 - 25 meeting are shown in the minutes as July
25 to 26. (We can address that matter at the same time.)
Committees
Messaging
Arvola reported that the Messaging committee's issues
database is not out yet. Also, their committee had a
brief discussion about creating a primer on how to construct
a message. Michael Wang reported that IIC is interested
in picking up the task. The messaging committee list
has discussed reliable end-to-end messaging, but it's
unclear to what extend that will be addressed for their
version 1.1 specification. Marty asked for confirmation
that they will make necessary repairs for single hop
cases; Arvola was quite sure that they would.
Security
Tim is trying to collect use cases for version 2.0.
[Also see the discussion of security profiles, above.]
BPSS
No report.
Negotiation
Marty distributed a white paper to the team that combines
material from his and Dale's F2F presentations, as well
as from Marty's personal notes. Next, the team has to
build a requirements document. Marty has asked the team
to discuss the paper by email for a week or so, leading
to an improved draft. The paper references the ebXML
technical report on e-Commerce patterns (version 1)
that includes a negotiation pattern. Marty also mentioned
a related document created by Duane Nickull that he
(Marty) distributed to the negotiation team for their
consideration. Marty agreed to circulate the paper to
the entire committee now; reviewers may return a marked
up version of the Word document if their comments are
sufficiently detailed.
Issues Database
Tony reported that he has populated his Access database
with material from Marty's document along with recent
discussion on the list. Subsequently, David Burdett
furnished Tony with the Messaging team's Access database.
Tony will consider how to proceed with the two databases.
It was informally agreed to circulate the issues on
the list after the end of this month when the public
comment period concerning version 1.1 expires.
Joint Meeting with Messaging Committee
Tim asked whether the upcoming joint F2F will focus
mostly on synchronizing our respective version 1.1 specs.
Dale assumes that version 1.1 issues will dominate,
given the time available, although some version 2.0
requirements will undoubtedly emerge. We should look
to reach agreement on plans for the version 1.1 specs
during the joint meeting.
September Conference Calls
Please send email to Dale if you're willing to handle
conference call hosting next month.
Next Meeting
We will have a non-voting meeting next week on Thursday,
11:30 am - 12:00 Eastern time (USA).
