DR 25th July OASIS. August 8th HP, August 22nd Waveset.
DR DR to note on SJC site and send dates to list (AI).

8 Discussion of upcoming WS security conference
KB (Update in KS absence). One day August 26th as part of Web Services One conference [3]. KS constructing program, hopefully available by the end of next week. HL, CA, DR from SJC have said they are available. KS sent a draft to the list. In summary, present outline architecture, discuss its pieces and identify any holes. Would be focused on OASIS and W3C efforts. Cover each TC effort/specification in approx. 15 slots. Exact format undefined. W3C/OASIS cooperation will be a key message.
DR Is the outcome of the event official in any way?
KB Hopefully feeds directly into WSA-WG STF and OASIS WSS.
CA Consensus of what's missing should be an official output from this event.
KB To present CA's suggestion to program committee (AI).
PG Note this event on site?
KB Should have an official abstract in a couple of days.
DR To note details on SJC site with a pre-release sentence and follow up with official abstract when available (AI).
PG Add an agenda item for August 22nd meeting to discuss (AI).

9 Discuss SJC purpose and charter
PG Discuss (DR) proposal [4]
PG Consider 4.1, 4.2, 4.3
PG Consensus support for these goals.
DR

Consider 1.1

HL Terms are very important; when it means the same thing, we should use the same wording.
PG We probably already have overlap. Lynn Wheeler doc [?? anyone] did a great job of pulling together terms for ASN.1. Pulled existing glossaries together and identity overlap, then over-time ASN.1 tried to resolve differences.
CA SAML/XACML/SPML has roughly already done this (although not officially)
HR How do we "encourage" conformity? Appropriate wording should address this.
DR General support for 1.1 concept in charter and 1.3 as a deliverable.
DR Consider 1.2
HR What does endorse mean?
HL

Possibly three steps:

1 - TC says here's something
2 - SJC reviews and agrees (or not)
3 - SJC "publishes" it (undefined what that means

PG We are using the doc templates but is there something beyond that?
KB Doc book is an evolving thing but does not have the same scope of this proposal.
DR Consider 1.4
HL Looks like a lot of work.
DR Consensus to drop from proposal.
DR Consider 1.5. Consensus to table pending 1.2
DR Consider 2.1
PG We have already agreed to this. Consider removing the term "road-map"
HR Not sure we have. Concerned over context of end-to-end.
KB Concept of model & roadmap is valuable.
CA Possibly an extension of the domain model concept used in SAML/XACML
PG Out of time. Carry over discussion to next meeting.
DR To update charter discussion document in line with comments and re-post to list (AI).

10 New Business - Errata of OASIS documentation
KB TAB is probably the best place to address this. Send issues to me.

11 Report on WSA-WG
HL

(DR), (HL) & (KS) attended the WSA-WG Security Task Force (STF). The STF defines three main objectives/deliverables:

1 - Requirements for charter of W3C WS Security Group
2 - Identity Candidate technologies
3 - Define Security Use Cases/Scenarios

STF is suggesting a W3C security workshop to help form the charter before the next WSA-WG F2F in September.

HR Was the impact and effect of WSS@OASIS discussed or defined by the STF?
HL Clearly positioned as TBD.
PG Propose a regular agenda item for an WSA-TF STF report to this group (AI).
