Proposed discussion items at next meeting, whenever scheduled (2004?)

["Dale Moberg" <dmoberg@cyclonecommerce.com>]

Hi,

I have two items for discussion at the next JC.

1. Would it be useful to attempt to coordinate an ebXML 2004 TC
conference where all TCs meet during (portions of) one week? 

Because there are potentially areas of overlap in interests (Messaging
and CPPA, CPPA and BPSS, IIC and everyone,  Registry and CPPA,BPSS)
meetings would need to be scheduled to overlap to some degree for joint
meetings.

But because several participants are in multiple groups, the schedules
would also need to be staggered for other time intervals. Also groups
need to have dedicated time to work on their own distinctive problems.

Would the resulting schedule be too difficult to create given all the
constraints?


2. An OASIS TC, WS-CAF, met in Waltham MA last week. WS-CAF ambitiously
plans to develop both Coordination and ( a family of) Transaction
protocols, as well as a lower level "Context" service/SOAP-header-block.
ebBP (BPSS) may wish to consider coordination with this group, and ebXML
Messaging may wish to consider coordination with this group for its 3.x
major release (when SOAP 1.2 and SOAP 1.2 based web services will
probably be allowed as a simple case of ebXML Messaging). Some areas of
interaction/integration: BPSS signal approach being extended to allow
message traffic devoted to coordination and/or the (3 and counting)
variants of Transaction. This assumes that ebBP is compatible with web
services (specifically, WSDL (2.0)specified SOAP interchanges). We may
wish to invite one or more of the chairs to discuss integration points
at some point. This could be done at JC level or at TC level, however.
The Context service has functionality similar to the "ConversationID"
functionality found in ebXML Messaging 2.0.
