=======================================================================

Minutes, kick-off meeting, 30th December, 2002.  4PM EST, conference call.

Attending:

David RR Webber,
Martin Roberts
Matthew MacKenzie
Kit Lueder
Fred Carter
Joe Lubenow
Karl Best

Participating:
- Reid Jackson
- Alan Kotok

Absent:
- Ram Kumar
- Monica Martin

Introductions: - "round the room", attendees provided brief overview of
their own focus.

Procedures: - Karl Best from OASIS provided a review of TC procedures, the
OASIS TC process and IPR policy.  Members and the chair referred to TC
guidelines for practices - details from the OASIS website and our CAM TC
webpage.

It was noted that the original charter and objectives are now officially
in-place, and that the TC can now refine those along with the schedule and
deliverables as they see necessary.

Membership - those that joined 15 days prior, and attended today, are now
confirmed as full members.  Others can obtain voting status too by
attending next three meetings and notifying chair of wish to be full member
(see list at bottom of minutes).

Sign-up for the CAM list server is from the Web page -
http://lists.oasis-open.org/ob/adm.pl 

Please sign-up if you've not done so already.

Karl then gave a reminder and summarized the IPR policy - concerning
contributions of existing work. OASIS accepts both RF license, or RAND
license.  Submitters must make clear when submitting work.

There are 48 TCs now running in OASIS, so we've joined a growing family,
and have opportunity to work with them on joint areas of interest.

Our TC will hold bi-weekly conference calls - we are definitely looking for
sponsoring to defray these costs.  Typically with the other TC's -
organizations sponsor one call on a rotating basis to share the cost
equally.  Let the chair know if your company can help out.  The next call
will again be sponsored by XML Global, date and time to be announced, once
we've figured out best for team - looks like 1PM EST works better 
(Coordinate with members on best time for conference call prior to
arranging next call).

Alan Kotok asked for links and details of prior work to help new members
get up to speed on prior work items - chair to distribute to list.

General discussion of liaison with other groups - summary of potential
collaboration points with:
-       NIST for conformance test suites
-       OAGIS BODs implementation
-       X12/EDI implementation
-       HL7 healthcare implementation
-       HIPAA and other US Gov trial use participation
-       UPU and USPS
-       Registry and Business Process liaisons
-       UBL for transactions / context use

Planning and Facilitation items - location for our spec's will be our OASIS
TC website area.  

Location for examples and software components - probably a SourceForge
location similar to the ones used by Registry and RELAX NG TC's.

Next steps over coming two weeks - clarification of scope and charter, then
initial submission from prior work, and then refinement and agreement of
timelines.  We should then be able to cement these at our next conference
call.

Chair to send minutes to Listserver and then CC everyone else with
instructions on sign-up.

Chair then gave a summary of the landscape of specifications and assembly,
particularly in regard to existing CEFACT work and OASIS TCs, and a brief
history of how the impetuous for the CAM work came about.  With OASIS being
ideally positioned to support the needed XML technical work and coordinate
with the main potential users of CAM, including both vendor members and
technical committees.

The meeting closed at 4:55pm with chair noting that goal is to continue
with one hour calls bi-weekly.
