[Nat Sakimura <n-sakimura@nri.co.jp>]

Following are the minutes of the official telecon of the ORMS TC at:

Date:  Wednesday, 2 Sept. 2009 UTC
Time:  21:00-22:00 UTC (14:00-15:00PST, 17:00-18:00EST, 6:00-7:00JST)

ATTENDING

Henrik Biering
Mani Mahalingam
Nat Sakimura
Tatsuki Sakushima

Quorum was achieved.


1. NEXT STEPS

Per Tatsuki's proposal:

http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/orms/email/archives/200909/msg00000.html

We discussed how we should proceed having collected use cases and requirements.
There was a consensus on the call that it would be good to start working
on the straw-man. Mani and Tatsuki volunteered for being the editors.
Mani and Tatsuki, since both are in Bay Area, are to meet F2F to strategize
and  create the first straw-man draft of ORMS spec.

2. FACE2FACE PLANNING

Quick poll among the attending members for the following conferences
were taken.

 (1) DIDW at Las Vegas (14-16 Sept)
 (2) OASIS Identity Management 2009 (29-30 Sept)
 (3) IIW IX (3-5 Nov)

Among the three, it was only (3) IIW IX that all the people called
in today are coming. Since there is an OpenID meeting on the Nov. 2
(planned), it does not look like an option to hold it on the 2nd.
Unless we find the opening on the 2nd, we agreed to hold the F2F on
the 5th morning. As the date gets closer by and the schedule for
the 2nd gets more concrete, Nat is going to post the precise date and
time as well as the location to the list.

3. OTHER BUSINESS

3.1 CHANGING THE CALL INFRASTRUCTURE

Nat proposed to change the call infrastructure from FreeConference
to Skype because of the international calling cost and superior
sound quality.

Henrik said that he would prefer being able to call with normal IP phone,
and Nat explained that current one that he is considering, HiDef Conferencing,
has normal telephone number to accept such, we agreed to switch to Skype.
Nat is going to post the new access information on the list and the
group calendar as soon as he gets it.

3.2 CALL TIMING

The current call timing is that it is always very later in Europe and is very
early in Japan. Nat proposed that perhaps alternating call timing would be
better to accommodate more people. Although Henrik kindly said that
he would be fine with 23:00 call timing as it is now, Nat is going to
make a proposal and post it to the list.


4. NEXT CALL

The next call will be in two weeks. Call details will be sent out from Nat.
