We can add Ira's observation to the agenda for this Wednesday, 12 Noon.

I think that Harry will not be available for this week's concalls. So SC discussion may be a while off. However, the quoted message apperas to be in response to a proposal to extend W3C XML Schema to accomodate some problems found by the IETF XCON WG. I suggest that the first questions is to what extent do these problems apply to PWG Schema.
With respect to other WIMS WG topics:
a. Minutes: ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/wims/minutes/wims_051116.pdf
b. Abstracting the WIMS protocol spec.
However, if we do not have a reasonable attedance, there would be little sense in discussing these rather significant topics.
