RE: [imss] Vancouver Minutes (DRAFT)

["Roger Cummings" <[e-mail]>]

David,

Thanks for posting the minutes so promptly.

Two minor points:

1) Bert made a suggestion that a message is sent to the Netconf mailing
list soliciting interest in helping with the schema definition. Is that
an AI to you or I?

2) I'd like to modify the last sentence to read " The FLIP concept and
suggested use of netconf will be discussed further at T11 before the
next imss meeting." The focus for December has to be resolving FAIS
Letter Ballot comments, and if that means that the FLIP discussion
doesn't get done until later, that's the way it should be.

Regards,




Roger
