The only item on the agenda was discussion of the agenda for the face to face
meeting on December 13th and 14th.  The proposed agenda is at the bottom of
this email.

1) There was discussion on whether there should there be an discussion of 
   JSR 156, XML Transactioning API for Java.  The concensus was that this
   should be an item on the agenda.  The item to address the potential for a
   formal liason and what, if any, direct input the BT TC should offer to the
   JSR group.
2) The agenda items for RPC semantics, message sets, SOAP bindings, and deaf
   clients are inter-related.  These need to be initially discussed in the
   committee as a whole.  If these are to be addressed by a subgroup they
   should all be in the same subgroup.
3) Issue # 79 should be on the agenda.  It assists with the document structure
   by organizing the messages into sets based on the 'relationships' that use
   them. 
4) One subgroup should address the amount of explanatory info in the main
   text, any document restructuring, and the launch of the primer.
