1. Review/approval of previous meeting minutes
2. Outreach
3. ECF 4.01 Specification Updates
- ECF 4.01 Web Services SIP formatted as SSP with Springboard feedback for approval as Committee Specification/Public Review Draft.
- https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/legalxml-courtfiling/members/action_item.php?action_item_id=3449
- Jim H updated the WDSL and published as WS-SIP version.2.1.
- Greg Zarkis tested the WSDLs and offered a proposal for Document/Literal Wrapped WSDLs (tabled to ECF 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.
