AGENDA

NEWS & UPDATES

TRANSITIONING CO-CHAIR ROLE

Drummond posted the ballot to elect Markus Sabadello to succeed Bill Barnhill last Sunday Feb 3.

PRESENTATIONS/DISCUSSIONS

TYPED VARIABLES

Since we didn't have time last week, Drummond will share more about Typed Variables, which he believes will be a key component of XDI forms:

DECISION POINTS FOR THIS CALL

This week's decision queue is the following set of proposals:

ABNF UPDATES

After good discussion on the list, and on the ABNF discussion page, the current proposal is posted on the discussion page.

EQUIVALENCE LINKS (DRUMMOND & MARKUS)

Last week we agreed this proposal could go into last call, but in working on examples of $ref! links, Drummond realized that the semantics of $ref and $ref! links were different enough that it would be much better to use a different $word for $ref! links. He and Markus agreed to try  $rep (for “replacement”). In rewriting the text of the proposal to use $rep, Drummond found it dramatically easier and clearer to explain. We’ll review it quickly on the call to see if other TC members agree.

XDI POLICY _expression_ (DRUMMOND & MARKUS)

A formal proposal has been posted for declarative policy expressions (vs. the former proposal to use _javascript_ expressions):
