  • ISO Work Group 4 has raised a few more issues on 17078.2.
  • They want us to reduce the number of design and functional test levels from four to three.
  • We agree to reduce the levels of design validation to three levels. We’ll do this by merging V2 and V1 into a new V1, changing V3 to V2, and changing V4 to V3.

  • They want wording changes on the annex dealing with valve modeling.
  • We will work on this at the next meeting in San Antonio.
