Meeting notes

Status: Ultimate document version will be done when Blair gives Phill back new examples and he (Phill) incorporates those into the document. Should be next week or the one after.

Ian's process hints (thanks Ian!):

• There are some new documents to help us, "how to transition to recommendation" which is the best current guideline; http://www.w3.org/2003/05/Transitions (w3c member access controlled)
• Need 2 implementations of each feature; issues:-
  • Documenting entry & exit criteria; best reports like xml sig; maybe use message digest protocol as template or xml protocol/soap
  • Identify features (matrix) and "features at risk" - must be identified on entry to CR, will draft feature-list to list
  • Test suite?? Good to try get volunteers, but maybe just an Internet service is ok
  • Maybe an interop event
• "Transitions" things
  • Document requirements mapping to last call (maybe point at mail archive for Frederick's review of this)
  • Dependencies on us from other groups (DSS - have reviewed)
  • Review evidence (issues list and issues addressed)
  • Objections reported (DOM as example)
  • Implementation - see above; maybe try to get two conformant implementations
  • Patent page - check if update needed; maybe send call to list
• Request is a mail to director ; for CR lists all the above; estimated length of CR period (check with list)
• Thanks to Ian for the IRC log of this meeting minutes

Interop scheme - go for event or over the net? At present we're not looking for a face to face interop event, but will review if many implementations turn up. That kind of puts an onus on server implementers to make their server available (either over the net or in source/installable form).
