- Actions
- Marc Goodner to write a draft response for PR0002 and circulate.    There was some confusion on what this actually meant.
Clarification was provided to indicate that this is a blurb
needed to respond to each issue that summarizes what actions
or inaction that will be taken as a result. - Tony Nadalin to investigate the old and new XML Signature Syntax
and Processing specs and old/new Canonicalization specs to
determine if a revision of the existing references or if new
references are appropriate in order to maintain backwards
compatibility.
Work in progress. Expected resolution this week. (i.e. by
Friday 10/17).

-Don Schmidt to create and distribute a draft response for PR0001. Same comment as the first action above. Don will get with
Marc to construct a short formal response.

- Mike McIntosh to create and distribute a draft response for
PR0003.

Once Tony's review is written up (see action item above),
Mike will use it to construct a response.

   - Issues i015 - Non-standardized Normative References
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsfed/issues/Issues.xml#i015
WS-MEX and WS-RT are now both publically available W3C Member Submissions. WSFED Spec references to these
should be updated accordingly.

References will be updated in the next spec revision
pass.

Note though not explicitly stated in the meeting, here
are the publically referenced URL's for these two
W3C Member Submissions.

PR0001: Revise federation metadata document structure to eliminate
ambiguities and improve interoperability[6]

Did not apply the edit exactly as proposed. In the proposal
there were singular forms that already existed in plural.
Changes reused these pre-existing constructs. The schema
upload matches the document 08. The Schema examples still
need to be converted to exemplars in the document.

The changes reflected in the current revised draft editions
[4] and [5] should be looked at closely

STATUS: Change to Review


PR0002: Federation metadata, DNS SRV, and RFC 2782 [7] Awaiting draft response from Marc Goodner. See action
item above.

STATUS: No spec change.

PR0003: Should WS-Federation references to XML DSig be
updated to Edition 2? [8]
   Tony Nadalin is writing up a solution and targeting
completion by the end of this week. Mike McIntosh
will construct a formal response once Tony has completed
this.

STATUS: Active.

NEW ISSUES:
None raised at today's meeting.

5. Revised Editors Drafts [4] and [5]
There should be another revision before the next meeting
(October 28th) which accommodates updates for i0015, PR0003
and exemplar portion of PR0001.
6. Other business
None. 7. Roll Call Additions No additions.
8. Adjournment Meeting adjourned.
