1) OPENID URL COMPATABILITY

Fen asked a question about compatability of XRIs with OpenID infrastructure,
and in particular if there was a good way to use HXRI URLs with OpenID
relying parties who don't yet support XRI.

Drummond, Markus, and John explained the three options that have been
developed:

	a) Examining User-Agent Headers and returning X-XRDS-Location
headers (Markus explained this was not consistent enough to be useful).
	b) Redirecting to an HTML page with X-XRDS-Location headers (works
but not uniformly implemented)
	c) Using a special proxy resolver (works but requires too much user
education). See writeup at:

		http://dev.inames.net/wiki/OpenID_Discovery_Proxy_Service


We discussed the solution of trying to have a regular proxy resolver solve
the problem by always producing an X-XRDS-Location header, but that won't
work because the proxy produces a redirect and the OpenID spec makes that
the new identifier.

John suggested that i-broker communities like XDI.org require i-brokers to
put the X-XRDS-Location header in the default SEP (such as a contact page).


2) REVIEW OF XRI RESOLUTION 2.0 COMMITTEE DRAFT 02 REVISION 03

This "release candidate" was posted in PDF format at:
	
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/27394/xri-resolution-V2.0-
cd-02-rv-03.pdf  

We reviewed all the new changes. The only feedback was the following set of
action items:

# DRUMMOND to add definition of "Record" below Figure 6.

# JOHN and WIL to take a final proofing pass on Fig. 6.

# GABE to upload revised RNC.

# DRUMMOND to add note to xrd.xsd RE Type element.


3) UPDATED SCHEDULE

Following is our updated schedule:

	Feb 29: Vote on CD03 begins
	Mar 7: Vote on CD03 ends; submit for Public Review
	Mar 12: Begin second public review (15 days)
	Mar 27: End second public review
	Apr 3: End seven day waiting period
	Apr 4: Begin Committee Specification vote
	Apr 11: End Committee Specification vote
	Apr 14: Submit for OASIS Standard vote
	May 1: Begin OASIS Standard vote
	May 31: End OASIS Standard vote

We have already used up all the schedule slack, so we need to stay on
tightly track for each subsequent step. The vote on promoting CD02 RV 04 to
CD03 will begin tonight as soon as Gabe and Drummond finish uploading all
the updates.


4) STATEMENTS OF USE

Drummond and Gabe reminded everyone that to prepare for the OASIS Standard
vote, we need TC members need to submit prepare Statements of Use. Per the
OASIS TC Process document:

	"Statement of Use", with respect to a specification, is a written
statement by an OASIS Organizational Member stating that it is successfully
using or implementing that specification in accordance with the conformance
clauses specified in Section 2.18*, and stating whether its use included the
interoperation of multiple independent implementations.

Again, due to our tight schedule, we need to have these prepared and
submitted by the time we hold our Committee Specification vote. Please start
prepping now.


5) W3C COMMENT RESPONSE UPDATE

Gabe promised to send the response no later than tomorrow.
