**Agenda Item 2**

//**Issue 1:**//
Pete report from UML2 RTF call:
People were happy to make changes to make it possible to use UML Superstructure to create MOF XMI files
Pete will file issues to make changes necessary in MOF. Will be synched at UML 2.4/MOF 2.4 targeted for Sept.

//**Issue 2:**//
 Pete and Jishnu plan to present a concrete pair of documents at the next call capturing the results of the last call as they apply to work items 1a and 1b. We would still like to be in a position to present these to the AB in Minneapolis. It is preferable to have this discussion on Thursday after the SMSC meeting on Wednesday.

//**Issue 3:**//
Pete: MIWG members feel that XMI should be more restricted and allow fewer options.
Jishnu: Should it be by just constraining usage of XMI, or does it require change of the XMI spec?
Pete: XMI spec could be changed to add default values for tags, and/or they could be incorporated into XMI 2.4.
Jishnu: Overall the best approach seems to be to change the defaults of the relevant tags to what they need to be.
Pete: This approach needs to be validated before it is adopted.
Pete: A result may be that some things will have to be specified in the correct order. This will affect tools.
Pete will lead a discussion on this subject in the MIWG
We should await the outcome of that discussion before taking any concrete steps in this group.

//**Issue 4:**//
 Larry: The same problems that Steve Cook found in AB have appeared in RMS spec. We need to get some education on what the issues are and how to fix the RMS spec too. Call is at 3 - 4 EDT on Monday.
Pete: possible to do the education at the next call.

**Agenda Item 3**

Action Items:
Jishnu: Send reminder for next call immediately after this call. Ask Andrew what happened to virtual room for the meeting.
Pete: Continue to represent the interest of this group at MIWG and UML2 RTF, as he has already been doing.
Pete and Jishnu. Prepare documents for discussion at the next call:
JD and Bob: Prepare to discuss work item 1c (postponed agenda item 3 from this call) at the next call

Meeting Adjourned at 13:35EDT.
