  Agenda
    Approved as suggested
  Procedures related to updating the Library (BRS etc)
    Sue introduced the topic
      Two projects related to "reference models"
      Need to coordinate with any individual changes submitted through other projects/initiatives
    MK: The case at hand are several changes proposed from Japan
      Library Maintenance will process changes as they are received.
    Lance:
      If there are changes which are more than maintenance, then they should be putting it through a project.
      MK: This is currently not documented as part of existing procedures
    MK: The fact that changes are requested is a prof that the deliverable are in use and should be encouraged
      Need however to ensure that relevant parts of the organization is engaged
      MK: Should ensure that all domains are represented in the Library Management meetings
      Lance: And it should be through the PDA Vice Chair
      Lance: May also have to define bulg submission procedure so it's clear for everyone.
    MK: In the past there was a requirement for an RSM to support every change
      This is still being asked for, but not required.
      RSMs are typically defined after the library component is available.
    Samy showed an example from the scheduling project
      Experience that it is important to maintain contact with the original project in order to have full understanding of the existing possibilities
    MK: showed several changes originating from the Japan manufacturers not covered under the Scheduling submission
      These will be discussed that the Lbrary meeting tomorrow
    Conclusion
      Edmund will join the Library Maintenance meeting tomorrow

        The M&T PDA need also to be involved as this is a procedural discussion
