  4. Greg Zarkis tested the WSDLs and offered a proposal for Document/Literal Wrapped WSDLs (tabled to ECF 5)
  5. Gary Graham will review generated messages.

Eric: Wrappers worked well.

Philip: Tyler agrees

Gary: WS-SIP is separate from the ECF version so the SIP could be a new version without a new version of ECF?

Jim: The consequence - Implementers would need to be specific about which SIP they are using.

Jim: Options: wait and include only in ECF 5, or also publish new SIP that is an additional option for ECF 4 implementations

Jim: Publish as WS-SIP 3.0 for ECF 4 and WS-SIP 5.0 for ECF 5

Gary: Suggests volunteers put together a list of options/pros/cons.

Eric: Will write it up so that we can discuss and decide next month.

Jim P will provide process models and potential operations.

Jim Price: Service Processors to be registered and authenticated; and whether to allow primary and secondary service via e-service.

Jim Cabral: Registration process in the specification would be fairly significant. Should it be more broadly used (filers, attorneys, etc.)?

Jim Cabral: Asks for input from EFM vendors.

Tyler: A new topic, but agree it would be significant. Gut says keep it separate.

Tybera: Agrees – need more information.

Eric: Neutral

Jim Cabral: Consider a scenario with a multiple-EFM environment.

Cabral: Two questions:

1) Whether the specification should cover registration

2) Whether to adopt vs. build

Jim Price: Advocate having registration services. Maybe OAUTH.

Jim McMillan: Adopt existing OASIS Options: Registry information model. Other?

Jim Cabral: Separate MDE since you would likely have registration needs across offerings – public access, e-filing, etc.

Table until next month.
