Ok - will look forward to hearing 
  from you on Monday.   

Meanwhile, I'll start on the submission package with place holders for 
  the spec itself.

hi Diane, 
  
  First I'd like the chance to be able to 
  focus on the specific questions. I don't expect that I'll be able to do that 
  until Monday. Once we have those out of the way we can see where we 
  stand.

Mary, Alex, John and Robin, 
  
Would it be best to set up a call to 
  discuss the plan going forward given the confusion we've had in the past? 
   If you'd like to talk give me some ideas on available times in the next 
  few days and I'll confirm with a call in number. 
Thanks.

Hi Diane,

Thanks for the email.

Mary, 
  other OASIS staff and others  ...

I would like to confirm that I 
  understand how to deal with URLs:

[1] 
For the following URL: 
  
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

we will declare them as generic URLs always point to the latest 
  version of those documents, right?

[2]
And, we will copy docs 
  previously published in PR01 to the new location
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/wsbpel-specification-draft.pdf
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/plnktype/ws-bpel_plnktype.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/serviceref/ws-bpel_serviceref.xsd
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/varprop/ws-bpel_varprop.xsd

[3]
I am 
  wondering whether we do the same for PR02 by keep documents for the version of 
  PR02 also at docs.oasis-open.org. (e.g. " http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR02/...")

[4]
I also noticed in RDDL one of 
  previous version URL are:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/PR01/process/abstract/ws-bpel_abstract_common_base.xsd
(Note: 
  PR01)
Some are:
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CD01/process/executable/ws-bpel_executable.xsd
(Note: 
  CD01)

I am wondering: 
[a] what CD01 stands for? Comittee 
  Draft?
[b] should they be "PR02" instead, because our last published 
  version are PR02 (public review 2) before our CS01 (committee specification 
  1)? [I hope I got all the terms, right?]

All in all, I guess it 
  is a good idea for OASIS to come up with a clear formal guidline on how to 
  publish documents at docs.oasis-open.org in future for TC members to 
  follow.

Thanks!

Regards,
Alex 
  Yiu

Mary, Thanks very much. 

John and Alex, please review 
  the rddl and let us know if you have any questions.   
  

Mary, 
As usual, I have 
  questions for you!   
  
    
How do we populate the specification uri's 
    on the first page for this version and current version?  Do you do 
    that?    eg: Specification URIs:
This Version: 
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.html 
  
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.doc 
  
http://docs.oasis-open.org/wsbpel/2.0/CS01/wsbpel-v2.0-CS01.pdf 
  
    
Again on the first page, I'm not sure why 
    you chose the link you did for the previous verson - ie, the version that 
    went into the second public review that shows changes from the first public 
    review:  
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21574/wsbpel-specification-public_review_draft_2_diff.doc 
  
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21575/wsbpel-specification_public_review_draft_2_diff.pdf 
    
  
The change marks might be confusing since 
  they're not the changes versus "This Version"  but as compared with an 
  older version.  It seems like it would make sense to point to either the 
  clean second public review version, or a copy of the second public review 
  versio with changes marked versus "This Version".  The latter is 
  available at:   http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/22037/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20wit%85.pdfand http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/download.php/21993/wsbpel-specification-draft%20candidate%20CD%20Jan%2025%2007%20diff%20with%20public%20review%20%202.doc 
  
    
How do we figure out what needs to be put 
    in the trademark field?  I know we use the names of other 
    specifications done at OASIS.   Should they be there.  Howe about 
    those approved by other org's or just published by companies?  I guess 
    we'd go according to the references section to identify them - does that 
    sound right?

  Diane

Hi everyone, 

In order to shortcut further 
  delays, I've taken the liberty (with Diane's okay) to update the specification 
  with the latest cover page(s) metadata as well as update the RDDL file. 
  There's one new bit of metadata that was recently approved by the Board of 
  Directors concerning trademarks. More information can be found here: http://www.oasis-open.org/who/trademark.php. Note that the last paragraph in the status section 
  contains a field for any additional terms that should be trademarked and will 
  need to be updated. 

Regards, 

Mary

Web Services Business Process Execution Language 
  (WS-BPEL) 
  
31 January 2007 
  
Introduction 
  
This document describes version 2.0 of the WS-BPEL namespace. It also contains a 
  directory of links to related resources using the Resource Directory Description Language (RDDL) 
  2.0. 
  
Namespace URI Versioning Policy 
  
  
It is the intent of the OASIS WS-BPEL Technical Committee that 
  the WS-BPEL v2.0 namespace URI will not change arbitrarily with each 
  subsequent revision of the corresponding WSDL or XML Schema documents but 
  rather change only when a subsequent revision, published in conjunction with a 
  Committee Specification, results in non-backwardly compatible changes from a 
  previously published Committee Specification. 
  
Under this policy, the following are examples of backwards 
  compatible changes that would not result in assignment of a new namespace URI: 
  
  
    
addition of new global element, attribute, complexType and 
    simpleType definitions 
    
addition of new operations within a WSDL portType or 
    binding (along with the corresponding schema, message and part definitions) 
    
    
addition of new elements or attributes in locations covered 
    by a previously specified wildcard 
    
modifications to the pattern facet of a type definition for 
    which the value-space of the previous definition remains valid or for which 
    the value-space of the preponderance of instance would remain valid 
    
modifications to the cardinality of elements for which the 
    value-space of possible instance documents conformant to the previous 
    revision of the schema would still be valid with regards to the revised 
    cardinality rule
