Items Discussed

1. Update on action items
   1. Event listing for each component is under-way for the software components. All owners to send it when completed
2. Design Discussion
   1. Concurrent to gathering events for all software components, we need to start working on the FTB framework design
   2. Additional things to consider during Designing
      1. Designing the FTB using Daemon-approach vs library-base approach:- Daemon-based approach would be easier to design and implement. Library-based approach would be more challenging but would be the only solution for architectures like BG
      2. Understanding component membership and interaction:- Once we have a list of individual component events, we need to figure out which components interact with each other, what other components does each component expect a response from? and with what priority do components respond to similar events?
3. Reminder to create MCS Login
   1. Everyone should have their MCS login accounts to get access to Media Wiki and SVN
4. New time for CIFTS conference call
   1. To be discussed via email

Action Items
