  >>> YES, approve

1. Adopt xCIL V2.0 as CIQ TC Committee Specification : YES/NO
If NO, Please provide reasons.

  >>> NO.

The PersonInfo and OrganizationInfo contain information points that
are too open to local customization and varience.

I believe we need to address three issues before continuing here:

a) Varience of information - provide structure that can manage this
     via mechanisms as in the OAGIS BOD approach.

b) Provide better grouping of information points underneath
     PersonInfo and OrganizationInfo to facilitate this.  Right now
     there are unrelated information points all just under the one
     parent.

c) Tackle the issue of information access.  Today Liberty and
     other schemes are providing systems that people are 
     extremely distrustful of.   There is an opportunity here to 
     exploit XML in a positive way to enpower people to 
     control their own information content and access.   
     As a committee we should solve this by providing not
      just flat XML structures - but include in those structures the
     ability to control and track information access.   This was
     tough to envision last year - but now the tools to build this
     are being formulized thru work such as WSDL and more.

Thanks, DW.
