Kathryn,
et al
Attached
is a form that I created and have found useful for other spec comment/closure
loop related efforts. This simple Excel spreadsheet allows the comment to
be captured, numbered, and addressed to a specific version, and statements about
the comment to be captured. It is then expected that the commenter
review the disposition prior to the comment being "finally closed." There
are some example comments in the template. I have posted it here for
your reference and will do so on comment sub-team list once that is in
full use. There is no need for a complicated database
related effort. For those that do not support Excel, I can easily
provide a PDF version of this.

1. Minute taker:Anne was driving so she was skipped. Farrukh selected
as minute taker.
2. Minutes from last meetingMinutes from last meeting published
by Lisa were approved by the
team
3. Volunteer for Standards Registry projectKathryn reminded team that
Karl is looking for a
volunteer to join the Standards Registry Project.
The project aims to
provide a consolidated view of information registered regarding a broad range
of standards
activities. Kathryn suggested that it may be a very good fit
for our already planned federated registry feature.
Question was asked by
Farrukh whether we can assume that the information will be registered in an
ebXML Registry. Kathryn responded that we cannot make that assumption.
The team felt there was not enough known on what the project entails, what
skill sets are needed and what
level of participation is expected.
Action Item: Kathryn to talk to Karl to find out
project entails, what skill sets are needed and what
level of
participation is expected.
4. Executive on-loan resourcesKathryn described the new OASIS
Executive on loan program. Sanjay
commented that it would be hard to find companies willing to do this level of
participation in this economy. No further discussion.
5. Liaison duties in BarcelonaWe talked about various needs and
possibilities for liaising with other OASIS and UN/CEFACT TCs. IIC, CPP/A, BP
and CC were discussed.
Action Item: Team please send Anne email if you
have a need or proposal for a specific liaison activity at Barcelona with
another TC.
6. ebXML Day in Barcelona, Spain (May 23) call for papersFarrukh
mentioned that the abstract for the main Conference he had submitted was not
accepted.
It was suggested that Anne and Farrukh collaborate to propose
one or more abstracts for the ebXML Day in Barcelona. The abstract and
outlines are due by March 22.
Action Item: Anne and Farrukh to prepare
abstract(s) for submission
7. Comment resolutionTeam agreed to the comment resolution process
defined in previous meeting. Kathryn mentioned that an alias for comment
resolution team has been set and is called:
Joel suggested that all comments resolutions be notified to the person that
submitted the comment in a public manner.
Farrukh suggested that all comments should be logged in a uniform manner as
follows:
-Assigned a unique immutable issue number
-Have a clear description
-Indicate who submitted it
-Indicate when it was submitted
-Indicate current resolution status (resolved YES/NO)
-Indicate whether it is closed or not (closed YES/NO)
-Indicate how the issue was resolved
Farrukh suggested keeping the issues in an Access Database. Joel was not
sure that was necessary. Kathryn said she would find out if there is an official OASIS method
for publishing comment resolution.
Action Item: Kathryn find out if there is an official method for
publishing comments and resolutions. Farrukh
will put together a log for comments.
8. Version 3 work itemsTeam did a first pass at assigning a priority
to the work item list published by Neil. Items were assigned a priority of 1-3
where 1 is highest priority. We assigned a range of priorities if we were not
sure. Some items were dropped from list.
Action Item: Farrukh to send list to Neil so he
can consolidate with the master copy.
9. cc-review subteam report Kathryn summarized the
telecon. No action.
10. Other subteam reportsCooperating Registries - Joel mentioned posting of
e-mail regarding construction of a tModel in UDDI based on the (RAWS) WSDL files and a recommended way to
