OpenCSA Steering Committee Notes (not “minutes” due to lack of quorum) - 12 October 2007 9:00 AM PDT

 

0. Agenda bashing and Roll

 

Attending:                  Mark Little, Jeff Mischkinsky, Michael Rowley

Apologies:                 David Burke, Sanjay Patil, Graham Barber

Absent:                       Patrick Leonard

OASIS Staff:                Mary McRae

Identified Observers:       Mike Edwards.

Notes:                          Michael Rowley.

 

With only 3 out of 7 in attendance, the meeting does not have quorum.

 

Some discussion occurred, as noted below, but nothing was decided.

 

1. David Burke for Process Committee

 

David Burke has volunteered to be the OASIS Board Process Committee observer for this Steering Committee.

 

2. TC Issues Raised to Steering Committee (All)

              

                - Namespace URI Design and Dereferencing (Full e-mail thread)

 

An email proposal was sent to all TC chairs in the member section.

The 3 Oracle TC chairs (Martin, Anish and Ashok) proposed an alternative by email.

Mary will be presenting the alternate proposal to the OASIS staff to get their input.

Jeff: Has concern that the discussion of the proposal is by private email.  Suggests adding the member section to the cc list of these emails.

Mary: Will do so.

Michael R: Noted that Sanjay’s proposal avoided trying to decide when new namespaces are used vs. when they are shared.  By contrast, Martin has made specific suggestions regarding the granularity of namespaces.

Mary: Is concerned with the logistics relating to controlling the artifacts associated with a shared namespace.  If it is controlled by the Assembly TC, would the other TCs be OK with allowing the Assembly TC to control those shared artifacts.

Jeff: suggests that we start with a decision on what the URI’s look like, then have step 2 be deciding what the granularity of namespaces should be.

Michael R: agrees and notes that Sanjay’s proposal can be used for step 1 of that (next time we have quorum)

 

3. SDO Charter Status (Jeff)

 

The call happened.  The OASIS staff suggested a change to the charter for the sake of clarity.  The charter will be updated and submitted by Oct 23^rd.

 

 

Meeting closed, 9:25am PDT.
