issues coordination call Feb. 11

[Diane Jordan <drj@us.ibm.com>]

Participants:  Glenn Mi, Peter
Furniss, Monica Martin, and I.  

We proposed a change to the time of
the call to Wed. 4PM eastern - this may make it easier for the west coast
participants.  If I don't hear otherwise, that will be the time for
our calls going forward, starting with Feb. 25.  

For the next meeting, we have issues
69 and 70 with proposals to vote.  Issue 53 is not expected to be
ready for further discussion.  

I will go through the categorization
suggested a while ago by Satish for some of the earlier issues and see
if I can "volunteer" champions. 

We discussed whether issues were being
closed just to close issues.  Some of the ones that have been closed
with no changes to the spec may have been due to initial misunderstandings
that were resolved as people became more familiar with the spec.  These
are discussed in the TC calls prior to closure and any remaining questions
can be brought up.  As these get closed, we should consider whether
there are opportunities to clarify further in the spec.   I'll mention
this to the spec editing team as well.   

Peter mentioned that an area that could
bear with further clarification is the relationship between abstract and
executable processes (Issue 82).   He's seen misunderstandings of
this in various places in the industry.    Phil Rossomondo and
Ben Bloch have started a discussion on how to address this issue but it
hasn't yet reached the full TC mail list.  I'll ask them when they
might be ready to engage the full group.  

Monica will share a view of issue categorization
she has been working on before the next TC call.  We'll cover it in
new business and ask that anyone who'd like to participate in a more indepth
discussion as part of planning for the next TC agenda join us on the issues
call Feb. 25.
