3. Liaisons

   - We skipped this.

4. New business

   - We talked extensively about getting the remaining items
     in the SV-CC database into a good state. Currently many
     of them are assigned to Joao, even though he is unlikely
     to be actually resolving them. What was the best way to
     get everything properly organized? Suggestion was made
     to make everyone "developers" so that items could be
     assigned to those actually doing the work. Chas to
     investigate try to get that done. We should get all of
     the items assigned to Joao set back to none. Chas asked
     that everyone send him email on which items they actually
     would be working. Ralph said that 202 and 205 should be
     assigned to him. Bassam said that 66-71 should be assigned
     to him.

   - Francoise noted that the database has not been updated to
     reflect what happened at the 8/11 meeting. Chas to see
     about getting that done.

   - Discussed which items already had proposals. Ralph noted
     that 160 already had a proposal. Jim Vellenga noted that
     162 already had a proposal. Doug has already sent a list
     with his items that have proposals. Chas asked that everyone
     send in a list with items to which they have already made
     proposals.

   - We discussed extensively whether we needed to announce ahead
     of time if we were going to be voting on a particular item,
     or if we could take immediate votes. Chas noted that once
     we get started, we should have a working list of items that
     have a proposal, so this may become a non issue. Steve
     proposed that we conduct business on the basis of (non binding)
     straw polls to establish consensus, and schedule formal
     approval in the agenda for the next meeting. Jim Vellenga
     seconded. No opposed. No abstentions. Passed.

5. Old Business

   - No old business yet.

Meeting ended at 1:05pm (EDT)

   - Chas to see if everyone can be set to developer for accessing
     the database.
