Pal,
Actually I was on the last teleconference (though I admit my attendence
has been less than desirable). As for unsubscription from mailing lists, I did
unsubscribe my @arjuna.com mailing list because I was getting two sets of each
message after I had also subscribed with my @hp.com address.
Still,
rules are rules I guess so I'll sit in and listen to the vote if nothing
else.
Jim
PS -
Is there any provision in the rules to allow voting by members who
contributed in other ways than teleconferences, eg by writing bits of the spec,
or evangelisation or similar? I'm sure I haven't been a slouch on the BTP front
even if I have missed a few meetings.
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)
