Agenda/Summary:

• Thank Dave Dowding for his contributions
• Chair person discussions
• Issues and progress
• New blood, new players – do we need new people involved? Would like to recruit more members from the user community. We’re already pretty well represented from the vendor community standpoint.
• Time for weekly WG meeting (for now, Wednesday at 9:00 am Pacific/11:00 am Mountain/12:00 pm Eastern will work for all attendees of this call)
• Jim to check with missing attendees (Doug Sprague, Greg Maston, Daniel Fan) regarding whether or not this time is suitable.

Chair discussions:

• Possible chairs:
• Tony would prefer not to chair the WG – would prefer to remain as contributor to subgroups.
• Jim – not sure he’s in a position to accept the WG chairmanship – but will discuss this with his managers.
• Bruce – would be willing – but doesn’t feel he knows enough about STIL to be as effective as someone else who is more familiar with STIL.
• Doug – would be willing to consider it.
• Proposal to select interim chair whose responsibility will be to guide the WG group to selecting a permanent chair.
• Rohit will take the interim chair position for the next 6-8 weeks only.

Issues:

• Need to update ownership of IEEE STIL email reflector list. Once chair is selected, Carol to take action to transfer ownership of email reflector list from Dave Dowding to the new chair.
• Meeting logistics – someone will have to schedule meetings and set up conference calls numbers. Rohit to do this for now; permanent chair will need to take that responsibility.
• Tony to continue to update and maintain STIL.4 website.

Action Items:

1) Jim – check with missing attendees (Doug, Greg and Dan) on meeting time.

2) Everyone – new member recruiting.

3) Everyone – think about becoming the chair yourself.
