  5. Dave E. suggested we table CAP SC Discussion.
  6. Sukumar said he agrees that we should constitute a HAVE SC. He is getting requests for features in the next version. Don agreed that it would be a good idea to move ahead. Don spoke with Lee Tincher. Sukumar suggested doing groundwork. So he and Don will work offline on a Statement of Purpose and suggested chair (s) for next TC meeting.

  8. Scheduling should be done after Comments are received.
  9. SC formally requests TC Chair Elysa Jones to confer with Mary on getting the Call for Comments out.

  11. Using Strings only needs to be corrected with better datatyping and string length constraints.
  12. SC wants to tighten up requirements in the specification.

  14. RIM SC. Don reported that the SC is working through the CIQ Profile and we are making progress.
