- Rob: if we're doing large numbers of updates, just send one manual
  email notice
    - Steve: all for this
    - Rob: there's no way to change the default, so just have to make
      this a matter of procedure

- Rob: actually ends Friday 16 May
- Original timeline had the cut-off on 13 May, which would have limited
  the comments, but we're still shooting for a Candidate Spec 20 May

- not on call
- Rob: can provide update
    - there was a call between number of authors last week
    - VeriSign, RSA, IBM, but no MS folks
    - one clarification needed from TC: are we asking them to submit
      specifically as a reference doc or for future derivative works
      by the TC
    - believes we only wanted it as a reference doc
    - Hal: not sure he sees the distinction in practice
    - Irving: do we want to base work on it or do we want to take over
      furthering that document
    - Rob: because MS wasn't on call, couldn't reach conclusion on
      timeframe for submitting to a standards body
        - feeling was that July may not be feasible
        - it is moving forward, however
    - Carlisle: trouble is that we're stuck until we get an answer
    - Jeff: we're not guaranteed to use WS-Trust anyway
    - Carlisle: what if we extend our request to Aug/Sept?
    - Hal: would that delay 2.0?
    - not necessarily
    - Jeff: we can explore other alternatives, including inventing our
      own, and if they get their act together, great
    - Carlisle: can Rob give any timeline indication?
    - Rob: gets feeling of strong desire to get it in an org in the Fall
    - Carlisle: can we wait that long?
    - Jeff: thinks so
    - Steve: is a commitment from the WS-Trust authors to bring it to
      a standards body sufficient for us to continue working against
      it, or is it necessary to wait for the actual submission?
    - Jeff: can do some work based on commitment, but would prefer to
      hedge until it actually happens
    - Carlisle: having it submitted to an org is the beginning of that
      process, and the doc will change
    - Steve: that's true of any referenced standard
    - [discussion of 'by value' vs. 'by reference']
    - Irving: reluctant to head down 'derivative' route
- Carlisle: what do we think is best course of action
    - Jeff: the welcome mat is out to bring the spec to this TC
    - Steve: didn't recall it that way
    - Carlisle: seems extremely unlikely this spec would be ratified
      by a standards body by end of year
    - Steve: can we not reference an input draft to another group?
    - Jeff: wouldn't be good
    - Rob: we could chose to not release the credential collector 
      functionality with 2.0, and release it afterwards
    - Carlisle: do we think end of 2003 is reasonable timeline for 2.0
    - Scott: seems very aggressive
- Rob: we don't have to decide this today
    - could have some of the WS-Trust authors on one of our calls
    - WS-Trust authors will probably need to meet and discuss this
      on their own before that
    - our joint call doesn't have to happen right away
    - Carlisle: what seems to be the inhibitors to submitting WS-Trust
    - Rob: thinks they may want to produce another draft first
    - [discussion of the usefulness of that]
    - Jeff: not sure that it wouldn't be acceptable (IPR & copyright-
      wise) to point to their doc and describe uses of it, basically
      profiling it
- stays open

- still open
- Scott: sent email this morning
  < http://www.oasis-open.org/archives/security-services/
    200305/msg00070.html >
    - in the course of implementing 1.1, encountered the 2 issues 
      described in the email
    - was going to raise as a last call issue
    - if we need to rectify while Eve is out, he can do it
    - most serious mistake is in schema, using IDREF, which is only
      for references within the doc
    - we may need to move up the hierarchy to a xsd:NCName type
- Rob: is this a true technical issue?
    - Scott: thinks so
    - Rob: does that mean we'll need to restart the Last Call process?
    - Jeff: we made the rules up
    - suggests after last call, put all the comments together and have
      a vote to determine whether you passed last call or not
    - is leery of schema changes
- Frederick: thinks WS-Security had similar situation
    - Scott: anything derived from IDREF implies the reference points to
      something in the document
    - the use cases in WS-Security are different than here
    - Jeff: section 7 of WS-Security is where this arises
- Scott: described 2nd issue in this morning's email
    - people whose parsers choke on this will either have to patch 
      their parsers or change the schema in order to use our schema
    - tossed around with Eve question of what we get out of our layer
      of indirection (saml:IDType)
    - currently, there isn't any value
    - would be invasive to change
    - Steve: not changing it would seem to have big impact

> 
> 6. Any other business
>

- Prateek: issues with DoNotCache
    - will send note to list
- Jahan: will we continue with weekly calls?
    - Prateek: thinks we should through at least 20 May
- Errata
    - everything is closed

> 
> 7. Adjourn

- Adjourned
