8. Learnings Working in a small group is essential – discussions are challenging with 4 or 5 in the room Consistency is very beneficial, although adding new people has not been too disruptive to progress Offline work will be important to provide drafts, comments against drafts and detail review It is possible to produce use cases to a level of detail that is what the manufacturers need to deliver interoperable products It should be possible to understand the amount of effort needed to produce a full set of use cases within Q1 2011

9. Next Steps Two more ‘wet towel’ days this week – one to do a sweep up and prepare the document Definition is close to facilitating interoperability, but may need to go to a lower level to achieve interchangeability Present the document to SMDG SG1 next Monday – as a baselined draft, not a final version Subject to discussion, this can be provided to SMDG for ratification of the working approach Maintain the momentum in the New Year? Continue with weekly sessions? Provide a plan to clear all 20+ use cases by Mar/Apr/May(?)
