Next steps on spec drafting (cc Joseph and Markus)

[Drummond Reed <drummond@connect.me>]

Since I'm leaving tomorrow on a week's vacation, I just had a good chat with Markus about next steps on XDI spec drafting. Here's what we determined:

1. XDI Core, XDI Messaging, and XDI Security Mechanisms are the three we should be driving forward first.
1. Drummond and Joseph will be driving XDI Core
2. Markus will be driving XDI Messaging
3. Peter and Dan will be driving XDI Security Mechanisms
2. We need to make the choice between the Open Office and DocBook templates.
1. This week Markus will work with Joseph—and potentially talk with Chet and Paul at OASIS and Ken Holman about how the UBL TC—in order to try to make that determination.
3. Then we need to start producing and posting our first Working Draft specs. I think we should concentrate on having these posted in August, even if they are full of TODOs and open issues.

Joseph, Markus will be sync'ing up with you this week to drive this forward. I suggest you make this (alongside the continued security architecture discussions) the main topic of next Friday's TC meeting.

Thanks,
