4. Review of IOU Demo Project Report and Developing WG ST Final Report
Purpose:
The final Demo reports are due Dec. 31, 2016 (and may be available as early as Dec. 16).
The next WG meetings are scheduled for Jan. 6 and Jan. 20.
Given the limited time for WG members to review IOU final Demo reports, it is suggested that the LNBA WG pre-assign volunteer lead(s) for report sections. The volunteer(s) would be responsible as the lead author of the final WG report for WG recommendations on that particular section, receive input and comments from other WG members, and lead discussions on that topic for the two WG meetings in January.
MTS will continue to coordinate and facilitate WG input into the final report.
