Summary March 2005 43 people on Tuesday’s meeting, 29 people on Thursday’s meeting Presentations on different possible requirements Started to track requirements in 11-05/0224 Began to prioritize requirements Identified action items to individuals for presentations in May Pat R. Calhoun, Airespace
Output Documents 11-05/0224r2 – TGv requirements March 2005 11-05/0224r2 – TGv requirements 11-05/0292r0 – TGv March 2005 meeting minutes Pat R. Calhoun, Airespace
Goals for May March 2005 Owners of specific requirements in document 11-05/0224r2 will present The group will then determine whether the presented requirement should be a requirement, or a non-requirement. Non-requirements are moved to the appropriate section (we track them to reduce rehashing old ideas in the future) Pat Calhoun and Veerma Anantha will create the usage scenarios document (using TGk and TGs format). A slot in May will be dedicated to discussing this document. New requirements may fall out of this use case scenario document The requirements document is expected to be completed in May Assign a permanent secretary and technical editor Pat R. Calhoun, Airespace
