Call Tomorrow

[Lisa Carnahan <lisa.carnahan@nist.gov>]

Hello All,

As many of you know, throughout the ebXML effort Len Gallagher from NIST
had raised serious concerns regarding the ebXML information model and
services.  Most of these issues were raised prior to our ebXML
meeting in Vancouver.  At that meeting, the committee decided to
defer resolution on many of these issues until after Phase I.  So
here we are in Phase II.  

As those who attended the Vancouver meeting know, Farrukh Najmi (and
others) had serious concerns regarding many of Len's
issues.    It became apparent to me that some benefit may
be derived if I put Len and Farrukh  in a room for a day or so to
discuss Len's issues.   So we did just that. 

Last week Len, Farrukh, Nikola Stojanovic, and I met for a day and a half
to discuss Len's recurring issues.  The meeting was extremely
productive in that many issues were resolved to all parties' satisfaction
(sort of).   The attached file represents two proposals for
changing the information model and inheritance diagrams for the
RIM.  (We additionally started a list of bugs that were identified
during the discussion.  I'll provide that in a separate
message.)

Please recognize that the attached documents do not represent consensus
of the OASIS/ebXML Registry TC.  Currently the attached documents
are based on the opinions of 3 TC members.  (My role was more of a
facilitator than a TC member.)  We will discuss these proposals
during the conference call tomorrow.  These proposals will be
accepted only if we achieve positive consensus within the TC.

I have a number of other items for the agenda; I'll try and send you
email regarding them before the meeting.

Call-in information:  NOTE: THIS NUMBER IS DIFFERENT THAN THE
LAST CALL.
