3. Approval of the minutes of last meeting

MD stated that so far no comments were received on the minutes of the last meeting but the members of the group could still send their comments.

4. Progress update and discussion items

Collaborative space 

• MD provided an update on the collaborative space on the CEF eDelivery website.
• The meeting minutes of this e-SENS - CEF eDelivery interoperability forum will be hosted on the collaborative space instead of on Basecamp.
• All members will soon get an invitation to join the collaborative space where they can create and comment on discussions, post questions, follow news items, see upcoming events, etc.
• Basecamp can still be used in the e-SENS context, but in parallel the collaborative space on the CEF eDelivery website will start being in use.

CEF eDelivery and eInvoicing Stakeholder Days

• MD reminded the audience that the CEF eDelivery and eInvoicing Stakeholder Days are organized on 29 Nov 2016 and 30 Nov 2016. More info can be found via https://ec.europa.eu/digital-building-blocks/sites/display/EDELCOMMUNITY/Event+CEF+eDelivery+and+eInvoicing+Stakeholder+Days

Conformance Testing (+SML/SMP integration):

• MD provided an update on the Conformance Testing progress.
• After their bug fixing on the Tubitak instance, IBM has passed a full test run on the CEF eDelivery Minder instance and is now listed as an e-SENS AS4 conformance vendor.
• Holodeck released a new version 2.1 and this version has been retested successfully.
• RSSBus is progressing with their connection to the test platform.
• Flame reported an issue with the new 1.4 Kerkovi release (encryption of empty body). This was fixed by MY in a 1.4.1 release.
• The SMP conformance test against Philip Helger's SMP implementation is ongoing. Most test cases are passing, the failed test cases will be analysed into more detail and the resulting feedback will be sent to Philip in the next days.
• MY reported that Minder 2.0 has been released. Main highlights are GITB compliance and asynchronous testing. MY indicated that there is still work to be done for updating the documentation and verifying that upgrading an existing version (with the DB contents) will work fine.
• MD asked the group if the new OASIS Business Document Envelope (http://docs.oasis-open.org/bdxr/bdx-bde/v1.1/csprd02/bdx-bde-v1.1-csprd02-DIFF.pdf) is interesting for eDelivery and if someone has experience with this.
• PH answered that it is similar to SBDH. He added that both options have the same difficulties with validation of content and that PEPPOL has chosen to use ASiCs (Associated Signature Containers) to overcome this (either in combination with SBDH or not). He also added that UN/CEFACT and OASIS BDXR TC are elaborating on the possibility to organize a joint business document envelope project.
• PVDE answered that the OASIS Business Document Envelope is not being used in the e-SENS envelope format.

• MD asked if there was a status update on the e-SENS AS4 profile change requests that were being made in the context of the Mendelson conformance test run. PVDE indicated that the work is ongoing and results can be expected soon.
• PVDE asked the group to review the AS4 configuration management document he has been working on and to provide comments to him. The file is available via https://secure.e-codex.eu/gitblit/summary/research%2Fas4config_poc.git

Update on the Task Force on eDelivery 

• MD asked if there was a status update on the Y4 e-SENS task force. DH and TK responded that an invitation to start this is being reviewed internally and will be sent out soon. Most likely the task force will be kicked off with a workshop early December.

5. AOB

• Since there is a public holiday on the date of next meeting (02/11), MD proposed to move the meeting to the following day. The group agreed on 03 Nov 2016 between 16.00 and 17.00 (instead of between 15.00 and 16.00). An updated invitation will be sent after the meeting.

Action Items

• Ines COSTA to reschedule the next call to 03 Nov 2016, from 16.00 to 17.00.
