THANKS.
ADMINISTRATIVE.
The meeting began at noon on Sunday with attendance and registration. Minutes from the September meeting in Greenbelt were accepted, as was the proposed Agenda with modifications. Arrangements were made with the hotel to meet during the evening so that the group could enjoy sunset breaks, but the group instead worked in a windowless room through sunsets into each evening. The meeting ended Wednesday afternoon.BALLOTING.
Everyone was reminded of the need to be IEEE Standards Association (SA) members based on one flavor or another (regular, affiliate, etc) of IEEE membership in time to serve as balloters of the standards being developed.DISCUSSION.
After discussion of individual schedules for the week, hotel arrangements for evening meetings, and reviewing the status of the five working drafts (some with sub-documents), a time line for getting balloted draft standards to the IEEE Standards Board (StB) by February 5, 1999 was established. The same basic schedule shifted forwarded slightly can be used to meet the subsequent StB deadline (May 7, 1999). Standards will be published in summer or fall of 1999 depending on which deadline is met.
The status of documents was reviewed to modify the agenda:
Additionally, Bruce Haddon stated a desire to discuss the work of SNIA, DMTF on the Common Information Model (CIM) as it might relate to MMS (or vice versa).
The agenda suggested by the document status review was accomplished. The Group was very interested in fitting MMS to CIM after hearing Bruce's presentation. Multi-mount without deadlock versus reservations was discussed, characterized by expressions that reservations 'pessimized' while multi-mount optimized and contrasting deadlock detection/curing with avoidance.
ACTION ITEMS.
REVIEWERS INVITED.
Reviewers are encouraged to contact Jack or Geoff for access to the draft standards. Attendance at meetings is not required to review drafts.
Next Meeting. January 19-22, 1999 at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), Boulder, CO.
We will gather at 8:30am on Tuesday, January 19th, and begin each day at 9:00am, end each day around 6pm. Normally meetings are held for 2.5 days, but this meeting schedule is for 3.5 days, with the meeting ending at noon Friday (22nd).
Future Meetings.
