3. CMI Subcommittee - Phoenix, Arizona USA
CMI001 - Spec Maintenance
Background (Need)
CMI001 has known issues
Document Structure confusing
Errors and Omissions
Ambiguous definitions
CMI001 (HACP and file-based) specs are still in wide use many are still depending on it.
Some AICC data elements have been “slashed-n-burned” out of related specs from ADL, LTSC.
Obviously, no other organization is going to support this effort.

Ground Rules
No new features (this is a maintenance release) . New features/functional changes may be considered for later releases as deemed necessary.
When resolving spec error/ambiguities :
Consider existing practice (existing implementations).
Consider difficulty/practicality of implementation
In short, please consider the “stake holders”
Suggestions for changes will be requested “in writing” (to facilitate editing and discussion).
