Chet is generating the templates for specification documents based on the list of documents proposed.  He asked whether we wanr to keep the namespaces the same, and Chad said certainly, for obvious backward compatibility reasons.

Once Chad receives it, he'll start with the browser authentication work.  He would be happy to have others contribute, particularly to part 0, the overview.  If you're interested, please let him know.  Nate said he'd be thinking about helping out.

Mohammad was not online.

Hal sent a question to the list about the other links on saml.xml.org.  There appear to be circular links now.

Nate is uncomfortable with the current phraseology, feeling that having a poorly worded statement that saml.xml.org was no longer being updated could reflect poorly on SAML itself and that the text itself was a little lost on the page.  He wanted to ensure that any visit would see that SAML is still quite actively maintained.

Chad asked whether we could just put in a redirect from saml.xml.org to the Wiki at this point.  Hal wasn't sure whether OASIS would be amenable to that because of the preference of OASIS to preserve absolutely everything, but Nate was in favor of asking anyway.  Chad expressed the importance of, in the event of a negative response, at least asking why they wouldn't be amenable.  It was suggested that there were some other alternatives or possible compromises that could be made in the event that TC-Admin remained reluctant.

[AI] Thomas will take the request for a redirect to the OASIS TC Admin.
