The TC operates under a standing rule approved 17 July 2008 under which the TC does not hold regular official meetings and conducts all business by electronic ballot only. Unofficial weekly meetings are held to enable discussion among members but no business is conducted nor actions taken.

AGENDAXDI Core: Spec Drafting Update
Drummond is still drafting the next new sections but will review several revisions to the previous upload:

https://www.oasis-open.org/committees/document.php?document_id=56383&wg_abbrev=xdi

In particular we will talk about the Reserved Variables section.
XDI Core: Group Membership Using $has Relations
Drummond realized that explicit +group membership needs to be added to the Aggregation Relations ($has) section of Core. The precise proposal is:

+group/$has/=member
XDI Core: Contextual Description Pattern
Drummond also proposes to add an explanation of the contextual description pattern to the Aggregation Relations ($has) section of Core. For example:

+group/$has/=member+group          <== root of subgraph independently describing +group

=member         <== root of subgraph independently describing =member

+group=member   <== root of subgraph contextually describing =member

Another key question that should be addressed in this section is: when should you use the contextual description pattern vs. the inner graph pattern?

+group=member      <== contextual description pattern(+group/=member)   <== inner graph pattern

Messaging Walkthrough and XDI Channels
We will continue Markus’ “messaging walkthrough” and a variation of this flow called “change of address walkthrough” so that Markus can raise questions and issues he is running across. See:
