  • Andy Schulert on FrontPage

Afternoon (1:30 PM)

• Identification of key areas in which existing systems are unable to interoperate
• Discussion of which key areas can be profitably addressed by this working group, and a rough prioritization of the areas
• Solicitation of volunteers for coordinating work on improving interoperability in key areas
• Development of criteria for evaluating the success of key area work groups
• Establishing timelines for action

Notes

As sometimes happens, aggressive schedules slip. In the case of this meeting, Dave Long and Andy Schulert actually gave their presentations after lunch. This resulted in a more compressed time for discussion. The topic of the working group's purpose and sponsorship was revisited in the afternoon session, immediately after the talks.
