Minutes ForCES WG, IETF69, Chicago, IL, USA =========================================== Attendees 17, (David and Ross included) Agenda: Tuesday, March 20, 2007, 15:20-17:20 ==================================== CHAIRS: David Putzolu Patrick Droz ADs: Ross Callon rcallon@juniper.net David Ward Bill Fenner (Emeritus) AGENDA: 10 min - WG status & Agenda Bash - chairs No agenda requests! Minutes: WG Status by the chairs: The meeting was recorded in order to provide the minutes. It was a short meeting as there was no presentation of a draft on the agenda. The chair starts with a status update of the drafts. Since the last meeting there was a LC on the protocol draft. There is now a version v11 out. There is some additional text to be added that should be provided by Jamal. With this addition we think the draft can go forward. On the model we got some feedback from an XML expert. There is still an open issue concerning the naming which the XML expert would like to be changed. Joel and Jamal are willing to do it but then there were to people on the mailing list objecting to it. From the point of view of the chair we should implement the change in order not to violate XML conventions. In order to move forward Joel will implement the change. The chair asks Joel for his view on the drafts. Joel: On the protocol draft, Avri will have to add the text since she is the editor of the draft. There was also an issue raised on the list about fragmentation. This is an issue you want to send something bigger than 64KB which can happen for some arrays. The TLV structure that we are using can represent that. We have a solution to it which we will put on the list and then decide what to do. Either say don?t send more than 64KB or address the issue. On the model draft the main issue is the use of the term element and attributes. The problem is that these terms have meanings in XML. We should not overload these terms. The input came from Tom Petch on the mailing list. So we think we have to change all the references to both of these components. This will also require some fixes to the protocol draft. It is up to the chairs to make the call on that one. Both of the drafts are supposed to be done in the very near future. Q Ross: when will the model draft be done? A Joel: with any luck we should be able to go for LC at the end of August. The chair is the opinion that the XML change needs to be done as the request came by Tom Petch who is an XML expert. The chair asks for other open issues but there were none raised and the meeting closed.
