Domain Coordination Issues
1. R2/RE Discussion
- Outcomes of 4/16 Tcon
- Optionality and Terminology Discussion
- R2 vs RE is one example of terminology discrepancies within technical frameworks
- Frank Oemig presented a document that attempts to address these issues and provide a consistent explanation of each
- Normative language terms need to be defined and documented here; likely remain a stable reference
- Needs to include specific mapping to underlying standards; consistent with terminology used in underlying standards
- Intended to provide abstract use case descriptions; not to address how individual profiles work, dependencies, etc.
- Provides guidance to profile authors, but also for implementers of profiles
- Action Item: Chris Carr to circulate Frank Oemig's optionality document to co-chairs and profile authors; co-chairs and profile authors to provide comments to Frank Oemig; Frank Oemig will continue to be primary edit document
- Review again on May 26 (?) tcon

Governance Implementation
1. Adherence to balloting process for co-chair elections
- Deprecation process needs review: what are the steps needed to document, etc.
- Laboratory Domain holding co-chair elections at Kyoto meeting:
- Governance document requires 15-day email ballot for co-chairs
- Action Item: Chris Carr to communicate requirement to Lab secretary the requirement in Governance document for email ballot
- Teleconference Access is not always being offered for domain meetings
- Impress upon domain secretaries that telephone access is highly advised
- Teleconference access for detailed discussions is not optimal; committee members should be encouraged to attend face-to-face meetings; but access for votes must be provided by tcon to facilitate international participation
