Minutes

In the last telecon we had the following AIs which are still carried forward (we didn't cover these as both Chairs/note-takers were offline during the call;-)

1. AI: Jose ask QA group about our current proposal still OPEN
2. AI: ALL suggest possible events/venues for doing face-to-face interop testing within the next six months. Post suggestions to the list. Leave OPEN.
3. AI: Jose - turn Guillermo's XML into an on-line questionaire

W3C member participation

We'll have to renew our charter at some stage which requires W3C member AC reps. to vote to accept the new charter (and hence the continuation of the activity). It has been noted that there is much less active participation from W3C members than used be the case. When discussing this we noted that:

• Betrusted are a member hence the previous Baltimore participation is continued (Stephen, confirmed by Jose)
• Microsoft (Research) are actually funding the implementation in TCD (Guillermo's) (Stephen)
• There have been a number of changes where WG participants now no longer work for W3C members (Shivaram)
• There are a number of small companies active and there is an issue with small company participation in W3C (Shivaram)
• But it is true that Nokia (Frederick) and VeriSign (Phill) are not apparently active these days, perhaps due to personnel differences between those who write specs and those who write code (Stephen, speculating:-)

The chairs took an action item to raise this with previously active WG participants who work for W3C members. When the charter renewal is under way, Jose may write to those W3C member AC reps to check whether they're still corporately interested in XKMS.

Interop matrix

• scenarios - add a compound case AI: Guillermo
• ai : stephen setup cvs access from tcd so that multiple files can be posted etc.
• We discussed Tommy's comments to the list
  • v. good ones at start ; latter ones (from "Since the compound...") we agreed to try tackle as part of scenarios generally
  • ai: guillermo action tommy's comments as per call
  • posible (depending on time available) ai: tommy send us a list of features of your code at keyinfo, UseKeyWith level etc.
• ai: stephen respond to berin's mail to the list to the effect that "yes, these are deliberately not addressed"
• ai: tommy to update samples for example.org - ed: example2.com isn't good to use 2.exmple.com
