Subject: Summary - CAP editors call - 28-FEB-02

From: Doug Royer <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 28 Feb 2002 19:44:46 -0700

The major point is below is that we have decided that
CAP is not ready for last-call. So we are going to
ship out a version of CAP that includes many of the
changes discussed in the last few months.

If you notice that some of the changes that you think are
were agreed to, and are not included, send email to the editors.
We are still consolidating the information over the last
few months. 

Version -07 will contain much of the consolidation work,
but not all of it. We are mostly issuing -07 to make it
clear where the latest proposals exist, and to make
it available for the MN IETF.

THANK YOU.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
This is a summary of the issues talked about today
on the CAP editors conference call:

o	What will go into the draft sent tomorrow (29th)?

o	Bob: Concerned that that XML is feature creep in cap.

o	Pat: At this time it seems that there is only one
	proponent of XML in CAP. 

o	We talked about text/calendar vs application/...xml...
	It looks as if the consensus is text/calendar.

	Doug: Lets let xCal specify the XML-CAP/BEEP binding
	And have CAP do the text/calendar binding.
	xCal and iCal are 1:1 mapping. I think there is consensus
	for this approach.

	George: Concerned about how xCal will map CAP command.
	Doug: If it is CMD: in CAP, then it can map 1:1 in xCal.

o	Pat/Bob: Lets get the draft out tomorrow. It will
	not be the last-call as we hopped. More things may
	have to change.

o	Doug will merge the WG lists and errors into CAP
	plus check and fix the error codes.

	Rip out the requirement that CAP specifies the BEEP
	message boundaries. (Not beep compliant).

	Only have the 1st example in each section show BEEP commands.
	The other examples will be iCalendar data only.

o	We will update the security section with the latest
	proposal, may need more work later.

o	ATTCOUNTER will be sent by Bruce - it will NOT be in CAP.

o	Remove the 6.3.<iTIP> text and replace it with a
	6.2.x "iTIP and CAP..." section

o	Rename 6.2.x to "CAP commands".

o	Doug will send to George tonight.

o	George will tweak/edit and send out by deadline.

o	Pat: Looks as if cal-connect is not going to be a face to face.
	Microsoft has contacted Pat and they may be interested in
	interoperability or conformance.
