2.  XML 2004 demonstration.
Will be held 11/17, Wed morning starting at 8:00 and going until
12:00.  We are hoping to be able to get into the room the night
before for setup.  Elysa will find out when the room will be
available and inform participants.  Current participants are IEM,
DMIS, Anteon, CapWIN, E-Team, and WSI.  We will plan to get together
the night before around 6pm.  The presentation/demo will run every
half hour beginning at 8:00am.  We may choose to exclude the 9 and
9:30 times due to keynote speakers.  The presentation will begin
with power point slides with a CAP overview then two slides from each
participant.  The first will be a company overview and the second
slide will identify how they are playing in the scenario utilizing
CAP.  Slides are to be provided to Rex by Friday and he will put
them in a form for presentation.  The demo will follow where IEM
will post a message to the DMIS server and the others will extract the
post and play their parts.  The scenario will be centered about a
real world chemical stockpile in Anniston, Alabama.  There will be
time for questions after the demo and possibly time to run the demo a
couple of times before the session is over.  Requirements for
internet, 3 tables (each participant will have 1/2 table), class room
style seating and projector for slide presentation will be arranged with
OASIS.

3.  Face to face Nov 17 in DC (pm) after the interop demo.  The
specific time and room is not defined.

4.  Charter.  Some discussion of the charter was had during the
meeting.  Elysa will send a copy of the draft to Jamie to make sure
we are in line with our scope.  Michelle had sent some suggested
wording earlier about issues we had last time and will resend.  She
also suggested that the charter have some specific identified way to
influence the HSARPA type projects (BAAs) that come out with respect to
standards and architecture studies.  She will start some discussion
on the list to allow more comment.

5.  Subcommittee reports.  No subcommittee reports were given -
