Minutes

+ IETF Note Well Agreement

  This is a reminder that our discussions are governed by the 
  IETF Note Well Agreement. See:

    http://www.ietf.org/NOTEWELL.html

  We will start each week's meeting with this announcement.

+ Meeting Schedule

  No meeting next week, 7/30.

  We will have a meeting on 8/6.

  We discuss schedule going forward. If there is not a 
  great deal of items left to discuss, we will consider 
  going to a bi-weekly schedule.

+ Status of LDAP Expert Review

  The email requesting Expert Review bounced. James 
  wrote the author of BCP 64 (RFC 4520) to see if 
  the IANA registration process has changed. Waiting to 
  hear back.

  Next step will be to mailing list again (in case 
  it was a temporary issue) and then IANA.

  The goal is to have our FedFS LDAP object descriptions 
  listed here:

  http://www.iana.org/assignments/ldap-parameters

+ "modify" operation in the Admin Protocol 

  In the current Admin protocol, there is no way to 
  modify an existing junction. An existing junction 
  must be deleted and then created. Between the 
  deletion of the old junction and creation of the 
  new junction, a client will see a "dead end" in 
  the namespace.

  We discussed if this was a problem or not. The 
  consensus was that this was a desirable behavior.
  A junction's FSN should be perpetual and should 
  not change. If it does change, the client will 
  not be able to learn of it.

+ Review WG presentation

  We reviewed the working group presentation. The 
  overall message is that the number of TODO items 
  is down to a short list and we are on track for 
  a WG last call in October.
