Test Mobile Application:
                Pam continues to work on the mobile application
                She plans to release it for people to start using on Monday

Open Issues:
                #675 Registration - Track and profile OAuth2 Dynamic Client Registration
                                We agreed to participate in developing this spec and that using it could make sense once it stabilizes
                #676 Discovery 2.1.2 - Allow port number to be specified for e-mail syntax identifiers
                                It doesn't look like this will happen with the acct: URI.  We can do it anyway to specify the port for discovery.
                                Nat seems like the logical person to make this change, as he has been editing this text most recently.
                #677 Messages : 2.3.2. UserInfo Response Structure
                                This doesn't seem extensible to general claims.  In what bucket would you put the favorite_color claim?
                                This just seems to add parsing complexity without a commensurate benefit.
                                The working group decided not to make this change.
                #678 Messages: Deprecated terminology in 5.1.3. Parameter Verification
                                John already fixed this

                We discussed the question about whether to allow specification of "essential", etc. for parts of a claim.
                                We decided that the complexity didn't come with sufficient additional functionality.

Editing:
                Mike still needs to apply the JOSE edits to the Connect specs
                We need to apply the Session Management edits agreed to
                There are a number of other specific edits specified by tracked issues
                Mike will release a version of the multiple response types specs with an IANA considerations section in it

OAuth:
                Stephen Farrell still needs to appoint the designated experts for IANA registrations

AuthN Context Values Registry:
                John needs to update our spec to reference the operational version of the AuthN Context Values Registry
                The numbers relate to ISO 29115
                John filed issue #679 to track this

Interop:
                AOL joined - Mike will finish adding them to the tables
                Layer7 appears to be near joining - Mike will follow up

WebFinger:
                Now uses /.well-known/webfinger
                Removes use of XML
                People are encouraged to review draft-ietf-appsawg-webfinger-03
                We think that it does not yet use the DNS prefix to handle the hosted case

Next Call:
                The next call should be in a week
                                Otherwise it would be on American Thanksgiving
