Summary of Aug 9 meeting:  
New committee draft approved.  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/document.php?document_id=19510

The XSDs posted by Alex yesterday will
be updated to ensure all five include blockDefault=”#all” (per today’s
vote).  Alex will post an update including these changes.   Please
plan to review the updated XSDs in advance of next week’s conf call.  (Note:
the only change I would expect to see in the updated XSDs is the addition
of blockDefault=”#all”.)    
The current version of the XSDs are
available here:  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/document.php?document_id=19622
 
Alex has already posted some draft spec
text to help clarify the relationship of the XSDs to the spec.  The
intent of the draft text is to clarify which resource is authoritative.
  While we seem to be in agreement that it should be the spec, the
spec currently contains a copy of the XSD.  Monica suggested removing
the XSD from the spec and simply including a pointer to it.   Please
provide some feedback on both of these topics so we can get to closure
on next week’s call.
We did not discuss Issue 289 because
it is tightly coupled to the XSD (which was not ready for discussion, given
the time it was posted).   We will come to closure on Issue 289 next
week once everyone has reviewed the updated XSDs.    
We will also plan to lock down the dates
of the F2F next week, giving Mike a chance to send out RSVPs.
  
Proposed agenda 
- Nomination/volunteers to take minutes
 
- Roll call/determine quorum 
- Review agenda 
- approve previous minutes:  Aug
9 
-  Update on spec editing status
Discuss and approve of XSD.  Note
- I've been having trouble finding the link that Alex posted on the TC
web site.  In case this is a general problem, here is the link:  http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/wsbpel/document.php?document_id=19622

There are 5 schema files:
1.        ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd :
NS =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/process/abstract
(already updated in the XSD)
schemaLocaton =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd

2.        ws-bpel_executable.xsd
NS =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/process/executable
schemaLocaton =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd

3.        ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd
NS =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/plnktype
schemaLocaton =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd

4.        ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd

http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/serviceref
schemaLocaton =

5.        ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

schemaLocaton =
http://docs.oasis-open.org/ws-bpel/2.0/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

Discuss proposed new action item (from Thomas Schulze):  While reviewing the schemas I've observed that AI 50 have been applied incorrectly. According to the current spec, section 5.2 basic structure of the language, <import> must occur before <extensions>. IMHO the intention of AI 50 was to only adapt the text in section 5.4, paragraph 3 saying "...  Any number of <import> elements may appear as initial children of the <process> element, before any other child element. ...". The intention was not to change the ordering (this would be a normative change).  If nobody objects I'll open another AI to undo this change and to apply the
intended resolution of AI 50.

- Issue discussion:  
Remaining open issues:  
289
- Schedule for public review, next f2f, final approval as Oasis  
- Mary McRae, OASIS TC administrator will discuss any questions we have on the approval process.  
- Agenda for next meeting
- New business
