Our agenda was posted prior to the meeting:

4. Discuss if we can have final Requirements Document and Rough First 
Draft of Spec for next meeting
Old Business:

1.We accepted as approved, the minutes of the previous meeting.

2. Sukumar was not present, and the TC is taking up the issue of HAVE 
in the next TC meeting.

3.We continued reviewing the Requirements Supplement and finished the 
task, with minor changes to a few requirements cognizant that these 
are requirements and how some of these are expressed in the 
specification is more properly where some of these issues should be 
decided.

Requirement No. 11: Request for Resource Disposition raised the issue 
of providing a Resource Catalog ID  such as found in the ROSS 
(Resource Ordering and Status System) Application 
http://ross.nwcg.gov/ which is likely to be fulfilled in the 
specification by referencing such specific applications or schemes.

Requirement No. 12: /request Dispoition was clarified as applying to 
the disposition of the request message.

Requirement 15: was discussed, and left abstract, providing the 
ability to cancel any resource message.

Requirement 26: Approved. It was decided to remove the word 
"optional" in relation to the requirement for the specification to 
provide the ability to indicate if a request is approved. Whether the 
funding information is included may be optional in the specification.

4. Renato took notes and agreed to post the revised, completed 
Requirements Supplement Document. Tim Grapes agreed to create a first 
draft of the data dictionary using the Requirements and Use Cases and 
putting it in the format Patti provided using the OASIS template, for 
the next meeting, March 21, 2006.


The meeting adjourned.

As always please post corrections, comments, etc. and I will be happy 
to revise.

Regards,
Rex
