http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200709/msg00035.html
Jeff moved, Bryan Seconded to accept the minutes.
Martin: Minutes need to include roll call. I am happy to approve subject to the attendance
being reported.
Chair agreed to add attendance list from http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/sca-bindings/event.php?event_id=16166&day=1190887200
to the minutes and repost.

Actions
Action:[Martin] Post cleaned up
Issues Process presentation.
Closed
Action:[Editors] a new section be
inserted before appendices on conformance.
Open
Action:[Sanjay] Resolve the
URL/namespace issue with Steering Comm./OASIS staff.
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200710/msg00000.html
Closed - response posted by Sanjay.
Sanjay: Version 1.1 is the one to be worked on by this TC.
Sanjay moved to make our version 1.1 as recommended by
steering committee, seconded by Martin.
Steering Committee guidance is that it will be a collective
decision to move up to a new common version level, based on incompatibility
concerns.
§
No objection, agreed to use Version 1.1 as
initial version of specs.
Sanjay: another concern is the naming convention for URLs. One difference is our need to use the Member
Committee name, rather than TC name for tcShortName
URL format. We also should use year and
month rather than version in any namespace URL.
Also I recommend we make the namespace URI de-referencable,
with a RDDL 2.0 document at that location (describing the name space schemas
and other references.
Anish: It makes sense to use the
open CSA prefix even for namespaces particular to a given TC.
Sanjay: I suggest we wait until after the steering committee
reviews my contribution.
Agreed to add agenda item for next week’s
call.

Issues Process update
- discuss the SCA Bindings Issue tracking on JIRA
http://www.osoa.org/jira/browse/BINDINGS
Announcement of approval:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200710/msg00004.html
Discussion of need to formally adopt
issues process.
Mike Rowley: the slide set did not make it clear what the
subject line should be on a proposed issue.
Michael Rowley: RE: [sca-bindings] ISSUE 1 - the title of the issue
No issues across TC.
The subject line will include the TC name if sent thru the list server.
Agreed there is no need to include the TC name in the
subject after the automatic name.
Eric moved to accept proposals for Issues process, Martin
seconded.
Discussion on giving tc
editors leeway to propose minor changes to issue proposal format as time goes
on.
§
No objections, issues process accepted.
4.1
Version number for SCA Bindings specifications
- as recommended by the Open CSA
Steering Committee
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200710/msg00003.htm
l
"The Steering Committee (SC)
recommends to each SCA Technical Committee
that a
single coordinated version number should be implemented across
all target
deliverable specifications. The SC further recommends that
the
current assumed version number should be Version "1.1", but the TCs
could
consider a future coordinated change to "V2.0" should technical
content
(for example compatibility issues) make that reasonable."
Agreed during action item discussion.
5
Use of RFC 2119 in the SCA Bindings
specifications
- as recommended by the Open CSA
Steering Committee:
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/sca-bindings/200710/msg00003.html
Issue 2: Use of RFC 2119 keywords
in the spec
The Steering Committee (SC)
recommends to each SCA Technical Committee to use the RFC 2119 keywords along
with the following restrictions in their specifications:
a) All RFC 2119 keywords will be of
the uppercase form (for example, RFC 2119 keywords MUST be capitalized)
b) Use of lower-case 2119 keywords
will not be used in the spec. When the use of 2119 keyword is needed, without
having the implications wrt conformance, a suitable
synonym will be found.
c) RFC 2119 defines keywords that
are synonyms of each other. For example 'SHALL' and 'MUST' mean the same thing.
The TC should not use multiple forms to mean the same. Therefore the TC should
use 'MUST' instead of 'SHALL' and 'MUST NOT' instead of 'SHALL NOT' through out
the spec.
As, by definition, these "Liaision Issues" afftect all
SCA TCs, I am forwarding the SC response to each TC
mailing list.
Graham Barber
On behalf of the
Open CSA Member Section Steering Committee.
Eric moved to accept the RFC 2119 proposal for steering committee,
Martin seconded.
§
No objections, to accept steering committee recommendation
on RFC 2119.
6

concerns, before asking for formal motion to accept.

originating email for the issue.
