Subject: Summary of XRI TC telecon - Thursday, Septh 11th
XRI TC Members: This is a summary of the topics covered on TC telecon today. Attending were: Bill Washburn, Dave McAlpin, Gabe Wachob, Nat Sakimura, and Drummond Reed. SCHEDULE FOR COMPLETION OF THE 1.0 SPECIFICATIONS There was general consensus that the feedback on the public draft has not resulting in the need for any substantial changes with the exception of the resolution simplification proposal Gabe already posted. Thus it was agreed that we should aim to conclude the first Committee Draft specification (the new name for a spec that has been approved at the TC level) within the next four weeks, i.e., by Oct. 9th. That way we will be ready to point folks at it at Digital ID World (Oct. 15 - 17 in Denver). UPCOMING VOTES By the new OASIS TC rules, TC members must return 2 out of 3 ballots. Since we are holding XRI TC business online, this is also the requirement for continued membership. To make sure only active members vote on the Committee Draft, we will be holding at least three votes within the next four weeks. The first one will be formal approval of the simplified resolution proposal (Gabe will post this vote tomorrow.) The second one will be on any final syntax modifications (such as the exclamation point issue, below.) And the third is planned to be the Committee Draft approval. Others may be added as needed to reach our Oct. 9 deadline. TASK ASSIGNMENTS We identified the following steps for completion of Working Draft 08 (the Committee Draft candidate): 1) Gabe will fold in the new resolution section and then attend to as many of the Open Issues in Appendix G as he can, then hand off to Dave M. by SEPT. 17. 2) Dave will do an editorial pass on Gabe's new resolution section, proof Gabe's Open Issue closures, and then attend to as many other Open Issues as he can before leaving for India. He will then hand off to Drummond and Nat by SEPT 22. 3) Drummond and Nat will do the final top-to-bottom editorial pass, closing any remaining open issues, checking for full editorial consistency, formatting, I18N correctness, etc. They will then post by SEPT 30th.for a final review by all TC members prior to the Committee Draft vote. TECHNICAL PROOF OF THE XRI/IRI/URI TRANSFORMATIONS Dave M wants his work on these transformation rules checked by someone else on the TC. Gabe took the action item to either do this or delegate it. CASE INSENSITIVITY We discussed and confirmed the conclusion in the 07 draft that for normalization purposes, case insensitivity will only apply to: a) percent encoding, and b) the XRI authority component in the US ASCII character range. WHITE SPACE There is consensus that white space must be percent-encoded at the URI level and IRI (UTF8) level, but the issue of whether it should be allowed at the XRI level needs further research. EXCLAMATION POINT PROPOSAL Drummond proposed that exclamation point be "promoted" to the GCS level for the sole purpose of being the dedicated GCS symbol for human-readable comments that are ignored by all XRI parsers. He will post a message with example and a specific proposal to the list. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS We discussed making acknowledgement of those who have contributed feedback, and also of listing Peter Davis as a contributor due to his inability to continue as an editor. Anyone who feels that a non-TC member should be listed in the acknowledgements, please send a note to the list. =Drummond -----Original Message----- From: Wachob, Gabe [mailto:gwachob@visa.com] Sent: Tuesday, September 09, 2003 2:31 PM To: 'xri@lists.oasis-open.org' Subject: [xri] XRI phone call this Thursday, Septh 11th Its been a while since we've had a phone call.
