Minutes
-------

Sumanth opens the meeting, walks through Action items from last week. Status:

- Dean sent text about DoS
- Alex proposed text to address Vikas' concerns, however didn't add that
  to the documents.
- David still has the token on the documents

David needs to incorporate a few comments, Alex will send his minor changes
to David (AI).

David walks design team through changes applied to the document - will send out 
the diff to the group.

Manjul: catches that ingrSedRec in egress route example should be ingrSedGrp..

Sumanth requests design team again to please review the changes.

DoS: Dean explains concerns about batched requests. Alex says he remembers
that we decided to either do commit/rollback, or partial only, and agreed 
that we did only commit/rollback. Sumanth seconds that. 

Alex in favour of removing all partial commit traces. Dean notes that 
Jeremy re-opened that discussion because of simpler database structure
of partial commits.

Discussion about the "stop and commit" or "stop and rollback" choices

Sumanth reminds group that we made a decision it would be "stop and rollback", 
let's not make it overly complex.

Ken mentions that really big batches (eg. 5 million nubmers) are done via files anyway,
rather than SOAP requests - but there, failures are expected, and should not stop
processing. But file-based transmission was not in scope.

Sumanth notes we have a standing decision from long time ago.

David will start a thread on the mailing list regarding this.

Meeting concludes
