- It was tentatively decided that for ResultMajor handling of asynchronous
operations "Busy" and "Pending" would be used in place of "TryAgainLater".

- As it pertains to the outstanding issue on External Policy Authority
handling and any required signatures, it was decided that support for this
feature would not affect the core.

- Use of URLs versus URNs within the core was approved and closed.

- As it pertained to Karl Wouters list of recent consistency suggestions,
most were O.K. and will be accepted. There was a brief discussion
surrounding Karl's TimeStamp handling suggestion (i.e. wrap ds:Signature in
dss:XMLTimeStampToken, and reference to TstInfo ID). It was decided that the
wrapping would make it easier for conventional verifies to work and was a
good idea. Additionally it was decided that referencing into the TstInfo via
a fragment ID was also appropriate. Trevor to update as part of version 19
of core specification.

- Paul's "Profile Integration" document posted to site on March 31. Paul
re-iterated that there was no impact on the core specification.

- Nick posed the question of whether it was time to go to ballot and submit
a Committee Draft and cut a CD. Hal stated that 2/3 of voting members were
required to ratify and approve. It was decided that this would take place at
the next meeting on the 19th.
