Proposed Agenda for Thursday, December 12, 2002 12 noon EST SJC Meeting

Dial-in Number: 888-742-8686
Conference ID: 5250215 

Call sponsor - Waveset Technologies

 1. Call meeting to order

 2. Introductions

 3. Darran Rolls to please take meeting minutes

 4. Approve proposed agenda

 5. I've been notified that some members of the Web Services
    Remote Portal (WSRP) TC are defining how role information 
    is passed, and that there is also role-related work going
    on in WSS and the SSTC. Concern was raised that the SJC had
    some sort of intention to create a common definition of role
    and that somehow the SJC would interfere with the work of the
    TCs. 

    Suggest that the SJC chair or the TAB liaison take an action 
    item to send a note to this TC or to the chairs list noting 
    that the SJC has no authority of this sort and no intention
    of directing the work of any TC, nor in interfering in the
    work of the TCs in any way. 

 6. Election of a new chair.

    We agreed that the term of tenure for the SJC chair would
    be limited to six months, and the term of the current chair
    expires soon after this meeting. 

    Note that Darran offered some time ago to serve as chair,
    but may have changed his mind. The composition of the group
    has also changed.

    Question: Do we want to spend meeting time electing a new
    chair or should I issue a call for nominations to the list
    and collect ballots there? Some other process? 

 7. TAB update - Krishna/Karl

    - Issue of purpose and direction of SJC. Following
      text outlines the issue and the position of the 
      TAB.

    - TAB position
       At the OASIS TAB meeting today we discussed, among 
       other things, the Security JC scope and charter. It
       was pointed out that the OASIS TC Process makes no 
       provision for a JC having a charter beyond simply
       coordinating the activities of the TCs, and 
       additionally that the Process says that a JC will
       have no deliverables.

       So while the TAB thinks that the JC has identified
       some valuable topics to pursue (security common 
       glossary, architecture model, etc.) and that this 
       work is important and needs to be done, the TAB 
       feels that the JC is the wrong place to be doing
       this work.

       The TAB suggests that interested members of the JC
       form a TC to do this work and that the JC restrict
       itself to providing a forum for the various TCs to
       communicate and coordinate their activities with 
       each other.

       Krishna and I would be happy to further explain the
       TAB's feelings on this at the next JC meeting.

 8. Update on XML Conference and Exposition 2002 in 
    Baltimore - Karl

 9. Update on coordinated SJC member F2F meetings
    from Dee Schur, OASIS

    Here is a review of the events that I mentioned. We have 
    very good relationships with both of the first two and 
    they have agreed to supply OASIS with meeting space.

    XML Web Services One in Santa Clara, 3-6 March--
    http://www.xmlconference.com/santaclara/

    Web Services Edge in Boston, 18-20 March--
    http://www.sys-con.com/webservicesedge2003east/

    Software Development was mentioned as well. We have worked
    with them in the past and I would be happy to ask them about
    meeting space--see http://www.sdexpo.com/2003/west/, SD Expo
    West in Santa Clara on 24-28 March.

    Lastly, RSA holds a security conference that has a wonderful
    reputation and I have recently made contact with the organizer.
    See: http://www.rsaconference.net/rsa2003/launch.asp?gotomenu=3.
    PKI has exhibited in the past. Does this hold interest for 
    anyone?

10. Other business

11. Adjourn
