Geoffrey Strongin <geoffrey.stongin@amd.com>, AMD Joseph Moeller <jpm2@eds.com>, EDS Jim Schreckengast <jim.schreckengast@gemplus.com>, Gemplus Xavier Serret <xavier.serret@gemplus.com>, Gemplus Phillipe LeBlanc <philllipe.leblanc@gemplus.com>, Gemplus Winston Bumpus <wbumpus@novell.com>, Novell Nat Sakimura <n-sakimura@nri.co.jp>, NRI Pacific Tomonori Seki <t2-seki@nri.co.jp>, NRI Pacific Tetsu Watanabe <tetsu@nri.com>, NRI Pacific Drummond Reed <drummond.reed@onename.com>, OneName Loren West <loren.west@onename.com>, OneName Dave McAlpin <dave.mcalpin@onename.com>, OneName Marc LeMaitre <marc.lemaitre@onename.com>, OneName Dave Wentker <dwentker@visa.com>, Visa International Rajeev Maria <rmaria@visa.com>, Visa International Mike Lindelsee <mlindels@visa.com>, Visa International Gabriel Wachob <gwachob@visa.com>, Visa International Michael Willett <mwillett@wavesys.com>, Wave Systems Bill Washburn <bill.washburn@xns.org>, XNSORG Eamonn Neylon <eneylon@manifestsolutions.com>, Manifest Solutions Reva Modi <reva_modi@infosys.com>, Infosys Peter Davis <peter.davis@neustar.biz>, Neustar Thomas Bikeev <bikeev@ean-int.org>, EAN International James Bryce Clark <jbc@lawyer.com>, Individual Member Matthew Dovey <matthew.dovey@las.ox.ac.uk>, Individual Member * Moderator: Bill Washburn, XNSORG * Review of OASIS TC process and IPR policy: Karl Best, OASIS Karl mentioned documents that cover TC and specification process and IPR policy. These are available on the OASIS homepage at: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.shtml and http://www.oasis-open.org/who/intellectualproperty.shtml. It is important that the secretary, editor(s) and chairs be familiar with these documents. Karl also mentioned that his role is that of a resource to all of the TC's -- he assists in keeping everything running smoothly and is available for any questions, concerns and/or clarifications. It was pointed out that XNSORG has made a submission of IPR to the TC and that the group needs to be familiar with the agreement before accepting it. * Review of TC Charter: Gabriel Wachob, Visa International Misunderstandings of the TC's purpose as seen in PR were discussed. It is not clear that we have described the aim of the TC clearly enough. It was proposed that the "things we are not doing" be added to the charter. A recommendation was made that the types of resources that might be identified using the XRI specification be listed in detail. ACTION: Marc LeMaitre, OneName, will send a strawman modification of the charter to the list with the clarifications discussed. The "royalty free" requirement from the requirements strawman was mentioned as there is no similar language in the charter. It was proposed that the TC adopt RF as a working policy (unanimous consent). Karl mentioned that TC's should not redefine IPR policy -- OASIS already has one. It is up to TC's to accept or reject submissions based on IPR as they see fit. Most TC's do not put such policies in their charters though. The question of a charter requiring a specific schedule was raised. Karl's answer was that it does, but that it can be very general (i.e., a specification is expected to be completed in Q3, etc.). It was proposed that the charter be accepted as it stands and that clarifications and more detailed schedule be added to it over time. The decision to accept the charter was postponed for the next meeting or two until the additional information has been added to it. ACTION: Propose a general schedule of deliverables to be added to the charter. * Discussion of Standing Rules: Gabriel Wachob, Visa International The guidelines sent to the email list by Bill Washburn, XNSORG, were mentioned. There were no objections to the guidelines. It was proposed that guests be allowed on the TC conference calls as long as they do not remain anonymous. The TC will not make an attempt to enforce this rule, but will make it clear that visitors are expected to announce themselves. The motion was accepted with unanimous consent. ACTION: Add the rule that guests are allowed as long as they do not remain anonymous to the standing rules. It was further proposed that voting by email be allowed. The motion was accepted with unanimous consent. ACTION: Add the rule that voting by email be allowed to the standing rules. ACTION: An updated list of the standing rules will be sent to the email list and voted on during the next conference call. * Request for Volunteers: Gabriel Wachob, Visa International A request was made for volunteers for the positions of editor and secretary. There were no volunteers. It was mentioned that for the time being, the chair role would handle the webmaster position as well. A vote of support for the people filling the positions currently was made and there were no objections. Volunteers for liasons with other groups were asked for. A number of people volunteered. Eamonn Neylon, Manifest Solutions: DOI/Handle (it was mentioned that we may need a separate liason with CNRI if we license Handle) Matthew Dovey, Individual Member: UDDI TC Winston Bumpus, Novell: Directory Interoperability Forum Peter Davis, Neustar: Technical Architecture Group, W3C Thomas Bikeev, EAN International: EAN International * Splitting into subcommittees: Drummond Reed, OneName It was agreed that we would start as a single group while working on the requirements document. After the requirements document is completed, we will consider splitting into subcommittees. * Future Meetings: Gabriel Wachob, Visa International It was proposed that our conference calls be bi-weekly (every other week) on Thursdays and alternate between 2pm and 6am PST. A concern was raised about possible clashes with other standing meetings. It was decided to take this discussion offline to the email list. ACTION: identify any clashes with proposed schedule and other standing meetings. The next call will be held on Thursday, 23 January 2003 at 6am PST. A clarification to the proposed face-to-face meeting was made -- the meeting will be on the 20th and 21st of February (Thursday and Friday). AMD offered to sponsor the next conference call. ACTION: Email the list with conference call information * Tools for Interaction: Gabriel Wachob, Visa International A request was made that input be given on the email list for tools that the TC should use (e.g., email list, wiki site, etc.). ACTION: Discuss tools that will help facilitate communication between TC members. ACTION: Drummond Reed, OneName, will send email suggesting "homework" for the next call. ACTION: Review the strawman requirements document. ACTION: Brainstorm on the email list about liasons. -- Mike Lindelsee Visa International
