Some great email discussion has followed last week's con-call.

Many thanks to the goal champion's for focusing the discussion.

We'll spend a couple minutes on each with the respective champion

presenting a summary of their summary email. We can hopefully

come to consensus on the intent of each at least. Summary emails

are cited for each. I'll determine the order that they'll

be addressed so as to focus on getting as many completed as

possible.

 

DAG0001a Daniel Austin [6]

DAG0002 Daniel Austin [7]

DAG0003 Nilo Mitra [8] (regrets)

DAG0004 Abbie Barbir [9]

Raised questions on web components - are they well defined?

Relationship w/ #11

Don't know how to measure - need def. For web components

Abbie will send alt. wording

DAG0005 Mike Champion [10]

Simplicity - not much disc

Comment: point of simplicity is interoperability, use io as measure of simp - but how to do that?

Sent out alt wording

Henrik - simplicy reqs impossible to evaluate (xmlp), suggest think about kind of things to bring simp into design: modularity, composition

Roger - keep small description, break out with numbered subparts rather than roll up into larger description

Chris - need to clarify which goals apply to which actors

Suresh - use simpliest language, no circular references

mike - minimalism (smallest possible number of components) - burden of proof on those wanting more

tomc - original goal at proper level of abstraction, numbered items are 1st level csf

chris - make sure arch is simple, not w/s Suresh - uncomfortable leaving goal as-is - merging arch and subject

Chris will propose alt.

DAG0006 Joe Hui [11]

Comment - Goal is too broad

Replacement suggested, doesn't really narrow goal

Original wording stands

Suresh - "addresses" ambiguous, suggest "supports"; propose "heterogeneous" environments rather than "distributed"; can't secure everything in w/s environment

No one opposed to current language

"Addresses" is superset of "supports"

no one feels necessary overlap w/ #11

goal stands

DAG0007 Suresh Damodaran [12]

Statement refs. To arch, not w/s

Split into three parts: reliable, stable, predictable

not much feedback

roger - don't understand goal, need to see CSFs

csfs are at http://lists.w3.org/Archives/Public/www-ws-arch/2002Mar/0148.html

sandeep - behavior should persist over time?

Need to noodle more

DAG0008 Tim Jones [13]

DAG0009 Mark Baker [14]

DAG0010 Dave Orchard [15] (regrets)

DAG0011 Mike Mahan [16]

DAG0013 Hugo Haas [17]

DAG0014 Doug Bunting [18]

DAG0015 Dave Orchard [19] (regrets)

DAG0016 Yin-Ling Husband [20]

 

DAG0001 and DAG0012 don't seem to have been kicked off so will

Chris - Missing goals - champions solicited

Hao - Management/monitoring (18)

Joe - someone should champion privacy
