Agenda (version 20050714)

1. Roll Call and Agenda
2. Minutes of FM15
3. Review of Actions
4. IVOA Technical Roadmap (RW; Act.15-3A)
   • Roy has been summarizing our roadmap after the last exec meeting. We will review the roadmap, approve and put it on the IVOA Web page.
5. Approval of Recommendation

   • UCD1+ (Act. FM15-6.2)
6. Replacement of Chairman (Chairperson)
   • VOQL WG (Ohishi --> Nieto-Santisteban and Shirasaki)

7. Preparations for Future Meetings
   • October 2005 InterOp meeting in Spain
   • May 2006 InterOp meeting in Victoria, Canada
8. Annual WG/IG Review process (MO; Act. FM15-7.2)
   • Here is a draft.
9. Reorganization of Interest Groups
   • In the IVOA web page at http://www.ivoa.net/forum/, there is a mixture of "official IGs (Applications, Data Curation and Preservation, Theory, and AstroRG" and "discussion groups (Net, RadioVO, Semantics)". All of them are categorized into "IGs" on this page. In order to avoid possible confusions we may need to separate the current area into an area for the official IGs and that for discussion groups.
   • Is the Architecture group an IG ??
   • At the same time we need to discuss if we should establish a new IG: "Semantics IG".
10. IVOA Documents
    • There is inconsistency in the IVOA documentation procedure. The definition of WD contained in the IVOA Recommendation (http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/DocStd.html), and that contained in a Note (http://www.ivoa.net/Documents/latest/DocStdProc.html) are slightly different. In the latter there appear two WDs: initial WD (version # below 1.00) and formal WD (version # above or equal to 1.00). One idea is to rename the "initial WD" to "Internal Draft (ID)" or something like that.
