Minutes

Approve October 24th Minutes

• Motion to accept the Minutes for October 24 (Craig/Andy). Motion passed 9:0:0.

Question - Session on Technical Editing Project at Harmonization?

• Jay Lyle asked if we would have a session devoted to the Technical Editing Project at the upcoming Harmonization meeting.
• Due to the overlap with the ArB meetings, time may be limited.
• We decided to leave open the possibility of having a conference call on the topic during the first day of the Harmonization Meeting (November 11).

AMS-developed "model" of current behavioral framework, for comparison with ARB model

• AMS noted that we do not currently have a model that represents our behavior framework.
• He has put together a UML class diagram that represents what is currently described in the V3 Guide.
• We reviewed the model on the call and made a few minor modifications.
• For more information on this, look at the ArB's SAFE(sp?) effort.

Request for Location of minutes from McCaslin

• Craig will respond to the request for the location of MnM's minutes.

Discuss Datatypes R2, Datatypes R1.1, and Wrappers R2

• Some committees need features of Datatypes R2 and Wrappers R2, but since they are not complete, they cannot be normative in the upcoming release.
• R1.1 contains most of the features that the Canadians need.
• In general, R1.1 will contain as many of the R2 changes as possible that can be represented in R1 syntax.
• Woody stated the need to develop a migration plan during the Orlando WGM (January 2009). This should be a joint meeting with INM.
• Craig will contact INM to arrange a joint meeting.

Other TBD

• At the Harmonization Meeting: Early on Thursday there will be a session on Entity Name. This will be continued early on Friday if needed.
