	Trine Hansen presented a PowerPoint presentation (20070425_TC_meeting_.ppt) and a written report (DEX_Publ_Proj_Status_Report_March_07_v3.doc)  on the status of the project.  A slip of 2-5 weeks is apparent, with access to the committed resources being the limiting factor
	Revised project plan will be reviewed by the Steering Group at the next telecon and then released to the PLCS TC.  This covers the Aviation Maintenance DEX, and two Tasks DEXes, which will be combined into a single structure if feasible
	The definition of the key concepts was now agreed and documentation would be completed over the next three weeks
	Template checklist important for consistency - checklist will be finalised during the core team meeting
	Reference data harmonisation was also planned for the Core team meeting
	DEX publication process proposed currently does not comply with OASIS requirements for publishing an OASIS standard [Note subsequent to meeting - latest rules provided to Core Team]
	Activity #5 DEXLib infrastructure is estimated to be about 2000 hours, to be undertaken on time and materials basis to maximise content.  Plan to start next week (4/30)
	Activity #10 Review and update DEXs is planned to start 2007-05-14

4.	DEXLib Status Report (Rob Bodington)
	Nigel Shaw presented the DEXLib Status Report.  See presentation DEXLibstatus20070425.ppt  
	Need to separate the templates so they are individually identifiable
	Still have a publication issue with how to publish a DEX under OASIS rules
	The DEXes need to be updated to reflect the final version of STEP Part 28 edition 2
	Still using OWL for publishing reference data
	One alternative may be to publish under ISO if they are publicly available for free

 
5.	Report of Technical Oversight Group (Tor Arne Irgens) - 11.30-12.30 by telecon

2.	Need to support a Systems breakdown approach
3.	PLCS task modules have been extended by 233, and may need to be reintegrated
4.	Risk module/Part 28, which had been deferred from PLCS but could be used

	Joint ISO TC184/SC4/WG3/T8/AP233 and INCOSE Model Driven System Design (MDSD) Team Meeting scheduled for 2007-06-27/28 to review AP233
