NCITS/J13 teleconference meeting on 5/6/1999 at 10am PDT.

Attendees:
  Kim Barrett [self]
  Chuck Fry, Chris Plaunt [Caelum]
  Steven Haflich, Kevin Layer [Franz]
  Nick Levine, Andy Sizer [Harlequin]
  John Mallery, Andrew Blumberg [MIT] (others present, unidentified)

  Mark Stickel [SRI]
  Shannon Spires [Sandia]
  Tim Bradshaw [TFEB]
  Eric Dahlman [Colorado State University]

Draft Agenda:

  (1) Call to order and introductions (which might be nontrivial in the
      telephone environment).

  (2) Appointment of a Secretary Pro Tem for the current meeting.

  (3) Approval of draft agenda.  This parliamentary item is required by
      NCITS procedures.

  (4) Introduction/review of NCITS/J13 status, review of NCITS
      procedures, what we need to do, and how J13 would go about
      extending, modifying, or adding appendices to the ANS.

  (5) Selection of officers.  The Chair and the International
      Representative (Kent Pitman) are appointed by NCITS.  All other
      J13 officers are appointed by the Chair.  These officers may
      include Vice Chair, Secretary, Project Editor(s), Liaisons,
      Vocabulary Representatives, and such other officers as might be
      needed.  Not all offices need be filled if there is no need.  We
      need no editor unless and until we have filed a project plan to
      write something; in the prior round we rarely had significant
      tasks for a vocabulary representative; the secretary can rotate ad
      hoc.  However, a Vice Chair could be useful if someone is
      interested in helping with administrative matters, etc.
      Volunteers welcome for all positions.

  (6) Discuss anticipated 30-day letter ballot on reaffirmation of the
      existing ANS.  Draft will be distributed by the Chair before the
      meeting.

  (7) Announcements and new business.

  (8) Evaluation of the teleconference meeting.

  (9) Consideration and scheduling of next meeting, etc.

Meeting minutes (item numbers follow draft agenda):

(1) Call to order and introduction by Steve H.

(2) Kevin L. appointed Secretary Pro Tem for meeting.  No objections.

(3)  No objections to draft agenda.
(3a) Report from Kent P., little or no International activity.

(4) Steve H. gave overview of J13 and NCITS items.  Members and
    potential members encouraged to look at http://www.ncits.org/ as
    well as SD-2 and SD-3 which can be found on
    http://www.ncits.org/std_docs.html .

(5) Officer selection.  Kim B. volunteered for Librarian post.  Eric
    P. volunteered to discuss Vice Chair with chair.

    Discussion of technology for conducting meetings and archiving
    discussions.  Subcommittee formed with John M., Shannon S., Kim
    B., Tim B. and Steve H. to be formed.

(6) Sense of attendees was that the ANS should be reaffirmed.  The
    chair will issue a 30-day latter ballot very soon.

(7) Corba/OMG meeting/effort announced.  There will be an offline
    discussion of whether or not there should be a J13<->OMG linkage.

(8) Teleconference was generally thought to be acceptable.

(9) Next meeting is Tues 7/27/1999 10am PDT (same time as this
    meeting); meeting after that will be in conjunction with LUGM,
    specific dates to be determined.

Close of meeting, with thanks to Kent P. for serving as acting Chair
to keep NCITS from killing J13; thanks to Franz for footing the
teleconference bill.
