RE: [business-transaction] Face to face agenda for discussion

[William Z Pope <zpope@pobox.com>]

Good thoughts ... I'm happy to add topics.  The conference call Wednesday
will be for discussion and acceptance of the agenda for the face to face.


I think RPC and possibly deaf client are both more specific discussions 
than SOAP bindings and are possible agenda items in and of themselves.

JSR15 - added as a possible topic.

Yes, the 'review the spec' item was a placeholder as the agenda was
developing.   It was intended to ensure the agreement that the
walkthru on the first half day was of the protocol, not a walkthru of
the specification.

Keep the topics and comments coming,

Thoughts on the proposed agenda --

RPC/messages (if that's different from SOAP bindings, which it probably
isn't), as a full discussion
Requirements for JSR156 -- I think this is an invaluable opportunity to
cross-fertilize that work

If you don't mind me saying so, an open-ended agenda item like "Review of
BTP specification" is the kind of item that you never get beyond. Wouldn't
it be better to take the "big end" of the issues list (major issues,
rather than underbrush) and work on that to give focus to the meeting. I
think that general reviews can be antithetical to issues resolved, at this
stage.
