notes for the formation meeting. 

4        
Election of TC chair(s), Convenor

 4a. Determination
of number of chairs.

 From discussions it appears that there
is a desire that most
of

the SCA TCs
will have two co-chairs to share the load/responsibility.

 

Martin moved that the TC have
two
co-chairs, seconded by Danny.

No objection, motion for two co-chairs passes.

 

4b. Nominations

 Martin nominates Anish Karmarkar
(Oracle) and Sanjay Patil (SAP) as
Co-chairs, seconded by Mike Rowley.

 Anish and Sanjay accepted the
nomination.

 No other nominations for co-chair.

 Anish's candidate statement: Have been
involved in SCA, esp Assembly. Active on other WS and Java groups in
W3C, WS-I and OSGI. Experience with the OASIS TC Process.

 Sanjay candidate statement: Have been
involved in the SCA specifiations. Worked on several different
committees including chairing WS-RX. Very intersted in Business
Processes.

There were no objections to appointing Anish
as co-chair, so duly elected unanimously.

There were no objections to appointing Sanjay as co-chair, so duly
elected unanimously.

 

4f. Hand-off of meeting from convener to newly elected
chair(s).

 Anish and Sanjay took over running the
meeting.

OASIS Staff available to help.

If you have any problems with OASIS tools, feel free to contact me.

Helps the committee through the oasis process, esp reviews and spec
progression.

Standing rules

A TC can adopt additonal rules, as long as
don't contradict the TC process or roberts rules.

 Motion: Mike Rowley: That there be a standing rule for electronic
ballots for motions made on and seconded on the TC email list. Seconded
by Mike Edwards.

[discusion on current TC process rules]

 http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/process.php#s2.13

Michael Rowley: 2.13 is where it says that electronic ballots may be
used.

Martin: the TC process may be ambiguous as to whether a web ballot is
considered an electronic ballot

Mike R: intention is to allow either email or web ballots

Jeff: not sure its a good idea. Should stick to web ballots. Not a good
idea to start motions outside of a meeting, without the benefit of a
discussion. Chairs can always set up admin ballots.

Mark Ford: is the an issue of having multiple open overlapping issues
going on?

Jeff: hard to keep track on email.

Mike R: Agree with most of what Jeff says. The primary value of a
motion to be raised by mailing list is where the wording of the motion
needs to be crafted carefully and can be done off-line. Ballots out of
the blue would be bad.

Danny: In response to Mike, def a good thing to craft motions in email.
But typically they get crafted, 2nd and could even get ammended this is
not good on email. So better to do in a meeting.

Jamie Clark: OASIS staff comment:  it's one thing to permit a web
ballot on a seconded motion made at a live meeting;  it's another to
permit motions & second to be made async by e-mail.  The former
(web ballots) are mandated by our rule in some cases, and in all other
cases the TC can choose by standing rule to permit or prohibit them. 
The latter (motions by async e-mail) is (as we understand it) the
subject of Mike Rowley's motion now under discussion.

Martin: E ballots must last 7 days. Generally against this motion.

 Mike E: there may not be weekly meetings, so e-ballots would be good.

Jeff: a blunt instrument. Two people can create a motion, theres no way
to do amendments, so is a bad idea.

Jeff motions to substitute the motion to
allow web ballots to be used to make binding decisions in the TC.
Seconded by Martin.

Jamie: don't have to beat this to death this time. Advice adopt any one
option for now and co-ord across tcs at the F2F.

Sanjay: TC rules do allow for web ballots. Do we need this amendments
since its redundant with the TC process.

Jeff: maybe redundant, but doesnt do any harm. What Mike R is proposing
could be harmful, so better at this stage to stick with what the other
TCs have adopted.

Mike R: agrees with jamie. do something quickly and move on

No objections to the amendment: Motion is
amended.

No objection to the amended motion. Amended
motion passed.

organization:
TC Chair(s)

Relationship to OpenCSA
Member
Section

        http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/

TC Roles that will need to be filled:

editors,

        notetakers,

        issues
list,

        implementation/test
subgroup,

        OpenCSA
TC coordinator/liaison

Sanjay walks through the charter.

charter: http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/sca-bpel/charter.php

Jaques: See deadline for test suits but not for the spec. Is this a
typo?

Martin: test suite can't be done until spec is finished, therfore its
implied

Jaques: seems very optimistic for a full test suite.

Sanjay: doesn't imply a full reference impl.

Sanjay: plan this at the F2F.

Mike E: there is a requirement that some implemntations exist, not
necessarily ref impls.

Martin. ref impls are different beasts and are very onourous on a TC.
Exit criteria needs two different impls, but not a ref impl.

TC roles:

Sanjay describes key roles today, and appoint at F2F 

Key roles:

secretary (helps managing action items, web site), Notetaker of
meetings (if can't appoint perm one will have to rotate)

Specification editor(s): maintain the spec, fold in resolutions, follow
templates etc

Issues Editor: mainting issues list, track resolutions, publish issues
list

Liaison: laise with openCSA steering committee, other tcs etc

Need to decide what roles we have, and who wants to do these.

Anish: some of these roles take more time than others, so if you
volunteer make sure you can committ the time and that you have your
management support.

Will decide at F2F.
