Discussion

  1. Outstanding issues from previous meeting
  2. Reliable messaging
    Ack and bundling
    The previous discussion on the proposal had been approved in previous calls on the proviso that no futher comments were raised before the end of the year, none were so the proposal has now been accepted.
    Action Ian to post final decision to list with warning that multiple Acks will be prevent in version 3.0.

    Errata progress
    Mike has converted the errata to DocBook format.
    Action Mike will post a draft to the list.

    Issues list progress
    Doug is restructuring and cleaning the issue list from the last round of development. However it still requires a complete check to find which Issues have already been addressed. Mike offered to start this process once Doug can issue a draft.
    Action Doug to post a draft as soon as he is able.

  3. New Items
  4. Work schedule
    A discussion on the schedule and priority of work stared, is errata change to Version 2 or Version 3 development the priority? When should Version 3.0 be delivered for initial discussion around last Quarter 2003. (Comments and suggestions welcome.) Also what should be scoped WS security and SOAP 1.2 alignment were initial candidates that would have an external impact.
    A proposal was made by Doug to start development with a few of the simple outstanding issues to get the discussion and development active. This was accepted as a good idea and would be considered as soon as we can start working through the list.
    The frequecncy of calls was also raised and the current 2 weekly call schedule on Wednesdays was felt to be the correct frequency and day.
