AGENDA

1) XRDS-SIMPLE: ISSUE OF ALLOWING THE TYPE ELEMENT AT THE XRD LEVEL

Eran Hammer-Lahav, author of the OAuth Discovery spec (see first draft at
http://oauth-specs.googlecode.com/svn/discovery/drafts/1/spec.html), is
nearing completion on his second draft, which includes the "simple" profile
of XRDS (called XRDS-Simple) on which Gabe, Wil, Markus, and Drummond
volunteered to assist him. He made great progress over the holidays. One
requirement he isolated was the need to "type" an XRD, very much like we
allow a Service to be typed today. XRDs in fact may need multiple types,
i.e., one to assert that it is an XRDS-Simple type, and one to assert that
it is OAuth Discovery compliant.

Although he could create an element in the OAuth namespace for this, it is
clearly the semantics for which the <Type> element is intended, and the
ability to include zero-to-n <Type> elements would also support multiple
typing. However for XRDS-Simple to use it at the XRD level would require
that the XRD schema allow it there. Ironically, this is the precise inverse
of what we did for the <LocalID> element, which used to exist only at the
XRD level, but for which OpenID had a strong use case to need at the Service
level.

Since Eran needs to proceed quickly, we have invited him to join the call
and made this the first agenda item. 

2) IDTRUST MEMBER SECTION BUDGET REQUEST

Attached at the end of this agenda is a request from June Leung, chair of
the IDtrust Member Section, for all ITDMS TCs to submit budget requests for
projects they would like to accomplish in 2008.

Since these requests must be submitted by Friday, January 11, discussing our
potential requests will be the first order of business.


3) CHARTER REVISIONS

We planned to start the charter revision discussions at the start of the New
Year, and the charter text has been posted to the respective wikis at the
links below:

	http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XriCharter
	http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xdi/XdiCharter

However no changes have been submitted yet, and on this week's call the
first two agenda items have priority. Time permitting, we will begin this
discussion, and continue it on next week's telecon.

BUDGET SUBMISSION REQUEST FROM JUNE LEUNG, IDTRUST MEMBER SECTION CHAIR:
**********

Dear TC Chairs,

The IDTrust Member Section Steering Committee is planning our 2008 Member
Section budget, and would like to provide as much support as we can to
Member Section TC's in addition to the broader charter of the Member
Section.  Although we realize that TC's operate independently, there may be
projects or initiatives where some Member Section budget support can be
useful to your work.  

If there are any projects / work efforts you would like to accomplish next
year where Member Section resources can help, please provide us with the
initiative and some high level budget estimates by January 11, so we can
consider the request at the January 16 steering committee meeting.  Please
note that there are limited funds available for our budget, so we might not
be able to approve all proposed work efforts.

Here is the information we need to help with our review:

Name  of Initiative :
Background / Idea:
Start/Completion Date:
Objective and Goals:
Benefit statement: 
Estimated Resource Need: 

The Steering Committee will meet on Jan 16/08 to discuss the proposals

Please send your requests as well as any questions to Dee Schur, who has
been supporting the Member Section.  Dee's email address is
dee.schur@oasis-open.org.

We look forward in working with you in 2008!

June
