Report from JavaOne
  Mark Potts
  - There was interest in BTP and transactionality for Web Services.
    Everyone has a different idea of what a "transaction" is.
  - Protocol of commitment, commitment management
  * Mark Potts to send slides to Peter Furniss
    JavaOne presentation
  - People are moving beyond HTTP/SOAP/WSDL definition of web services.

Schedule
  - On track for face to face
  - Spec   - review draft is 1 week late getting out but is complete as of
             today. 
           - The latest version of the spec shall be deemed to be version 9.5
             and re-published as such.
  - Primer - running late but making progress

Open Issues
  - 1 issue open, Issue 89: "J2EE Inter operability - JMS short circuit"
  - 7 Issues in solution proposed state

WSTx
  - Info from the WS DevCon that IBM and Microsoft are getting ready to
    publish their specification on web services transactions.
  - All indications are that this is based on callable compensators made
    visible as part of the web service definition.

Primer
  Primer reviewers plase send Bill Cox go/nogo indication Thursday.  Holding
  the publication makes sense if anyone is providing substantial comments or
  revisions soon after that date, say Friday for Mark.
