Agenda So Far: (Please add proposed topics
by posting to list)

Administrative

When should December's second meeting be scheduled?

Old Issues

1. Form consensus on how to rotate chair task. 
Could someone propose a quarterly rotation to begin 
January 2002, for example?

2. Patent IPR issues updates from Karl? RF and RAND?
How and who to contact concerning any claims. 
Especially on SOAP. 

From notes:

Should there be some information about how to contact parties
making IPR claims concerning protocols and specifications
underlying OASIS specifications? 


   

New Issues
 
 1. (KB) As you are probably aware, the Vienna ebXML MoU between OASIS
and
UN/CEFACT specified that each side would have three voting
reps and two
non-voting technical rep to a joint management group. OASIS'
three reps
are Patrick Gannon (OASIS CEO), Simon Nicholson, and Norbert
Mikula, all
from the OASIS Board of Directors. I am one of the non-voting
technical
reps, and we are in need of a second. The OASIS Board would
like the JC
to nominate a person to fill that role; the Board would
then make the final decision.

Responsibilities of the rep are to attend meetings of the joint
management team to represent OASIS technical activities.
Meetings are
bi-weekly phone calls, and possible occasional f2f meetings
that would
likely be scheduled to coincide with other meetings (I don't
think we'd
ever schedule a stand-alone meeting; we want to keep this
light-weight.)

2. (KB) You're probably aware that the Vienna agreement also stated that
 there would be a joint architecture team to design the next
 phase of the
 ebXML specs. ebTWG has gone ahead and formed an architecture team on
 their side, and are waiting for OASIS to do the same. The two teams
 would then comprise the joint team, or perhaps send reps to
 be members of the joint team.

 The OASIS Board would like to hear recommendations from the
 JC on how to
 form the architecture team and how it should operate. For
 example, does
 the JC itself want to be the OASIS architecture team? Or
 should it be a
 separate TC or JC? Should it be restricted to ebXML only,
 or would it
 define an architecture for all OASIS e-business technical work?

3. (DM) How should references to not yet approved
standards be handled? For example, the BPSS
version 1.1 will probably lag CPPA. CPPA
will probably lag Messaging.

4. (DM) We have an early draft specification that
straddles groups (normative spec on
how to populate Message fields with
values from a CPA.) Is there a joint
TC approval process? Can a spec be
jointly issued? If a spec must be
issued by one TC, how can another
TC be given a voice in its discussion?
