2. Reading/Approving minutes from February 17, 2009 [1]
        
       -
Approved unanimously. 

3. TC Logistics 
        
       - Reminder:
  
         
              The next
scheduled meeting is Tuesday, May 26th, 2009.
         
              However,
this meeting is the day after the US holiday
         
              and there
may not be enough on the agenda.  Every
         
              attempt
will be made to determine whether the meeting
         
              will occur
as early as possible by the Chairs. Hopefully
         
              by the
Friday before the meeting but it may not happen
         
              until
the morning of the meeting. Please monitor e-mail.

         
              ACTION:
         
              AI20090512-001
- Chairs to meet prior to the next
         
               
      scheduled meeting to determine if there is
enough
         
               
      on the agenda to merit a meeting on May 26th.
         
              
                   
4. Results of Standard Vote
        - Ballot [2]
        - Email from Mary McRae re: Process
for Affirming OASIS Standard [3]
        - Discussion, Motion, and Vote on Electronic
Ballot
         
      
        The
ballot passed 49 Yes and 1 No vote.  We must address the no
        vote
per OASIS process. Mary's note [3] indicates that we have
        three
options:

        (a)
We can request the admin to approve the submitted specification
         
      without any changes despite the no vote.  This
requires a 
         
      special majority ballot by the TC.
        (b)
We can choose to withdraw the submission.
        (c)
We can choose to address the comment via a specification 
         
      amendment and restart the approval process
for the amended spec.
         
      
        Consensus
of the TC members on the call is to proceed with option
        (a).
 The intent of the group has always been to do this and it might
        have
been better had we gotten the comment during the review period
        so
that we could have responded then.  


        MOTION:
Affirm OASIS Standard Status for WS-Federation v1.2
         
      Does the TC desire to approve the specification
as submitted 
         
      (Web Services Federation Language v1.2) as
an OASIS Standard 
         
      despite the negative vote received?

         
      Motion made by Mike Kaiser and seconded by
Don Adams
         
      No response to request for additional discussion.
        
        Motion
approved w/o objection to unanimous consent.
        
        ACTION:
        AI20090512-002
- Chairs to work with Mary to get Affirmation ballot 
         
      started.
