OK, we
should vote on this tomorrow. One procedural point. According to my records the
following people are not currently voting members of the committee (even by the
most lose interpretation of the OASIS rules, i.e. we count only face-to-face
meetings):
Jim
Webber (HP) - did not attend the last f2f meetings, did not dial in on
subsequent teleconferences and as of yesterday unsubsribed from the mailing
list
Eric
Newcomer (IONA) - never attended a f2f neither called in for a
teleconference
Alex
Ceponkus - not an OASIS member
Bill
Pope - not an OASIS member
Pal
Given the discussions generated over the last few weeks about the
shape/content and future of any BTP specification, and the delays to any
attempts to adopt, we the undersigned wish to call a formal vote on the
following issue, to be resolved at the next teleconference on 11th of October
2001:
The Technical Committee confirms the scope as determined by the
last San Jose face-to-face in late July and the subsequent quorate and minuted
teleconference of 16 August, namely:
To define the interoperable messages to be sent between initiators
and the factory, terminators and coordinators/composers, enrollers and
superiors, superiors and inferiors (including the roles and responsibilities
of sub-coordinators and sub-composers in a transaction tree), and the
relationship of contexts and replies to application messages, plus facilities
for recovery including message redirection, and compounding capability to
allow one-shot optimization and one-wire topology. A concrete binding to SOAP
and SOAP-with-attachments is included. Partial role-based conformance is
defined.
and further resolves to close discussion on issues of scope in the
interests of rapid adoption of the Committee Specification.
Mark Little (HP), Jim Webber (HP), Eric Newcomer (IONA), Pyounguk Cho
(IONA), Alex Ceponkus, Alastair Green (Choreology), Peter Furniss
(Choreology), Bill Pope, James Tauber (Bowstreet)
