1. Minutes Approval 

- 20 Jul 2007 -- Patil/Rowley - Approve Minutes - Unanimous.

2. Open Action Item Review 

- Potential use of Wiki pages (Open
Action Item #0006):
        Carried forward; 
        Graham will follow up with some thoughts,
and a chart prepared by Carol on wiki/drupal page
usage. 
- Statement of Work review (Open
Action Item #0007): see below.
- Plenary Week Host Company (Open
Action Item #0008): see below.

3. Status of Proposed TC Charters from OSOA  

- Jeff Mischkinsky reported five of the seven SC Member votes cast had
voted in favor of affiliation of the six SCA charters with the Member Section.
Graham Barber reported that Patrick was having access control problems
the previous day; Mark Little is on vacation. The vote on affiliation was
therefore carried. 

- Mary McRae indicated that the Call for Participants would thus happen
immediately, although some specific aspects of the new TC kavi web sites
may be delayed until ~ Wednesday August 1st. 

- Logistical Requirements for the Plenary Week were again discussed. BEA,
Rogue Wave & Oracle have reported no suitable conference facilities
available. TIBCO could potentially host the large session at the start
of the week - David Burke will reserve. SAP could potentially host the
break-out sessions (limit # 30 per room) - Sanjay Patil to investigate.
IBM still need to check availability of facilities in USA & UK locations
- Graham Barber to investigate. Action
Item #0008: carried forward, with SC
members requested to communicate on the <opencsa-ms@lists.oasis-open.org>
mailing list. We also need to decide an enrollment process, potentially
with a nominal $50 fee. 

- Mary McRae reported that only herself as temporary chair will be added
to the six SCA TC mailing lists. ALL other potential TC members, including
the conveners must register (and be approved) as members at least seven
days before the first teleconference (which is scheduled on Sept 5th.),
else voting privileges will be delayed. 

4. Work Plan Review 

- We completed (real time) review of the document. Graham will apply agreed
changes to date & create proposed final V1.0 revision for approval
at our next teleconference. 

5.Informal Coordinating Committee 

- Jeff reported that the informal body, as discussed on our last teleconference,
may have stretched the limit of the responsibility of the Steering Committee.
Several models were discussed without conclusion although there was consensus
that "something" was needed in order that each TC does not waste
unnecessary effort. The task of creating test suites was discussed as an
example of a problem that would benefit from a consistent approach across
six TCs. 
- No conclusion was reached an Jeff requested that we consider the problem
further. 
- Secretary's note: In the circumstances, I will reopen Action
Item #0005.
  
6. Any Other Business? 

None. 

7. Future SC Agenda Topics? 

Not Discussed. 

8. Forthcoming Vacation information?

Jeff Mischkinsky & David Burke reported planned vacation for the next
call on Friday 3rd August. 

Given the above vacation, the call on Friday 3rd August is cancelled. 
The next regular teleconference is at 9am PDT on Friday August 10th.

9. Closure 

Meeting closed, 10.10am PDT. 

Future Agenda Items

Action Item #0005).
- Potential use of Wiki pages (Open
Action Item #0006).
