AGENDA

 

1)    Feedback
on WD 11 ED03 – for those of who you have had time to review, we should
collect questions – feel free to enter them on the xri TC wiki before the
call. 

 

We either hadn’t read the document, or we had
a lot of detailed feedback – Gabe will send feedback to the list, Markus
already has, Wil will read document. 

 

2)    Continue
discussion on the GlobalID/CanonicalID proposed changes since there appears to
be quite an unsettled feeling toward these proposals. 

 

We had several pieces of
feedback. 

 
Wil
     (and Les and Gabe) are uncomfortable with the fact that CanonicalID
     elements may have new values assigned to them in the new proposal. 

 
There
     was some discussion about how the new GlobalID use might break backwards
     compatibility with current implementations, but then Gabe pointed out that
     very few implementations are currently doing canonicalid verification now
     (at least correctly) so this is probably not an issue. 

 
Section
     15.4.2 (using LocalID to aid in Caching) made Gabe and Wil nervous because
     it made normal processing for clients more complicated (because the Query
     element may not match the subsegment being resolved). 

 
There
     was a great deal of confusion about the highlighted text in section 12 –
     clarification needed

 
Short
     discussion on polyarchical and hierarchical being two models that are
     useful to discuss, but even polyarchical may not cover the entire set of
     XRI authority deployments.
