    • Candidate Sep. 2005 session(s) - we could probably do either one or both:
      • Sep. 8 (or day within that week) -- candidates - Elisa Kendall (Peter), Barry Smith (Bill) (probably for Oct.2005 too)
      • Jon Bosak of Sun on OASIS Process - suggested (KurtConrad / SusanTurnbull) at our 2005.03.03 Planning Session - Susan: the 2005.09.23 CEW on implication on governance ... would be ideal. [Kurt will follow up with Jon and Susan]
        • possibility of this rolling into a joint SICoP or CEW-multiple CoP Best Practice event (suggested: Susan Turnbull / 2005.03.03)
        • SusanTurnbull/2005.07.20: draft title for Sept. 23, 2005 (Friday) Collaborative Expedition Workshop is: "Governance and Procurement Readiness Challenges in Future Services Oriented Architecture: Leveraging the Data Reference Model"

      • BillMcCarthy suggested John Sowa (try, either Sep. 1 or 6, 2005) - Bill will write John about this

        • Anders: we should have a "Tools / Testing" discussion
        • Kurt: "on metamodels, independent of the representation" (at a level that allows us to avoid the language war)
