2. Overview of IEEE-SA Standards Development Process
Nicholas Orlando from IEEE-SA gave a brief overview of the process for us.
Kevin brought up the idea of possibly having parts of our standard that are the same as other, related standards, and if that was possible/desirable. In particular the metadata related to a platform, as an example. It seemed like that was reasonable and not hindered by the standards rules.
3. Approval of Agenda
SiriJodha made the motion, Kevin Seconded, there was no discussion or opposition.
Motion passes.

5. Approval of Policies and Procedures
The P&P document that sets how this working group operates were approved by the parent organization. An overview was provided by Leland. Kevin made a motion to approve, Naresh seconded, there was no discussion or opposition. Motion passes.
6. Establishment of Officers
Leland Pierce has been appointed Chair for the next 6 months, at which time we can vote.
Naresh Mallenahalli has been appointed Co-Chair by Leland.
Kevin Romero volunteered to be Treasurer and was accepted by Leland.
Still no Secretary.
7. Overview of the SAR Metadata Standard we are working on
Leland presented an overview of the scope of the standard.
The discussion involved issues such as the reason of having a “platform” section, the idea of working to have a minimum representation, an overall vocabulary vs. per-processing vocabularies.
Volunteers: Kevin will work on his “minimum representation” idea and how to apply to this standard.
Naresh will continue his work on the vocabulary section
Betty will work on the high-level processing metadata
