Members of the World Wide Web Consortium’s (W3C’s) WS-Choreography working group are scheduled to hold their second meeting in June, with weekly two-hour telephone calls planned for the interim starting this week.

The meetings will take place after Microsoft resigned from WS-Choreography following its inaugural face-to-face meeting, and after just two days.

W3C sources told ComputerWire last week Microsoft’s representatives were willing to work with WS-Choreography up to a certain point, after which they were wildly opposed. Microsoft, with IBM and BEA Systems, authored the separate Business Process Execution Language for Web Services (BPEL4WS). Microsoft was unable to comment at time of going to press.
