Eric (also co-chair of WS-TX TC), reviews history of attempted alignment 
between CAF and WS-C/T. Suggest we can look at WS-C and the BPM protocol 
as complementary. Pieces of ACID spec extend WS-AT. MS and IBM don't 
want much by way of change. Suggests that MS/IBM are baseline, but CAF 
is useful for additional work on top of that baseline.

Greg asks if we should wait to see what happens with WS-TX. Eric: 
constrainst already exist in charter which would allow CAF to continue 
in the present time frame.

Doug mentions that extending TX seems to be outside of charter as per 
last call discussion. Eric argues that BPM protocol may still be 
relevant. Mark also indicates that he wouldn't want to lose that work.

Greg asks for clarity on BPM targets, is this WS-C based with 
compatibility to WS-AT, BA? Eric indicates yes. Greg concerned about 
stability of WS-TX baseline in the short term.

Eric to send email on the list to drive discussion.
