Minutes of Telecon 03 August 2010

Attendees

• Jeremy Tandy (chair)
• Bruce Wright

Agenda

1) Telcon Arrangements

There was some confusion about whether or not the Telcon was taking place; having seen no explicit announcement on the mailing list, the Australian Contingent, assumed the Telcon was not taking place - Ahead of the meeting, Jeremy's email response to this was:

Looks like we're suffering from problems relating to northern hemisphere summer. As people go on holiday, and others take over normal actions (such as publising meeting schedules in advance) things SLIP THROUGH THE GAPS ... and it appears the chairman (me) didn't pick it up.

You have my apologies.

I didn't make the last northern hemisphere telecon, but I had an email indicating that we were going for 7.00UTC today ... I guess (with an apologetic stance) that this didn't get to you?

For information we did note it at the foot of the previous minutes here: http://external.opengeospatial.org/twiki_public/bin/view/MetOceanDWG/ConceptualModelling20100727#7_Next_Telcon ... but I accept that this isn't the most obvious place to look!

I had also thought that you were unavailable so didn't seek to contact you directly.

I'll be on the POWWOWNOW line at 7.00 UTC (in about 10 minutes) to see if anyone else makes it ...

otherwise, the topics I was interested in discussing were:

1. Note that we've put the hydrology/flooding usecase on hold until we can find an owner to drive this forward (we decided that doing it in the margins wasn't fair)
2. Update about the conceptual modelling activity - we're using O&M as the default taget model & identifying where it needs to be supplemented.
3. Discuss 'review' process for minutes!
4. Check progress on CCIP2 planned telecon ... any updates?

the minutes of the last telecon are a good place to start.

Happy to conclude this session by email if the telecon doesn't work out.

We'll try to sort out publication of future sessions so that we don't find ourselves in this situation again.

• ACTION A41 JT / AW: Ensure that Telcons are publicised to the mailing list immediately ahead of the event

With only two on the Telcon from the the same organisation, it was decided to suspend the meeting.
