Agenda:

1. Agenda bashing.
   Unsolicited completions (mail from dme on 2002-09-26).
   Synchronous completions (mail from dme on 2002-09-30).
   Schedule for public release.
   Scope of binding stuff (mail from Jeff/Vish).

2. Review action items.
   See below.

3. Approve Last Minutes.
   Yes.

4. Unsolicited completions.
   No objections, so it is agreed.

5. Synchronous completions.
   Two A18.3 sections, change the second to be A18.4.

   No objections, so it is agreed.

6. Schedule.

   Aim for:
   * a public release of the requirements specification within 2 weeks
     (though a trip through the steering committee is necessary - we
     don't know how long this will take).
   * a public release of a draft API specification within 4 weeks.

   ACTION: dme to produce a list of 'todo' items for the requirements
   	   specification.
   ACTION: dme to update the requirements specification to conform
   	   with recent agreements.
   ACTION: Louis to update the draft API in line with recent
   	   discussions.

7. Scope of binding stuff.

   Jeff outlined his proposal, and indicated that Vish's grouping
   made sense.

   dme to update the requirements specification in line with the
   conversation and post for review.

8. AOB

   * ASYNC_MANYPARAMS: no-one objected to removing the API calls with
     more parameters, hence this is agreed.  Louis to include this in
     the draft API spec update.

   * Vish: the ITWG memory registration call has a flag to indicate
     that a segment may have been previously registered.  This could
     be usefully added to our memory registration call.  See mail to
     the mailing list.

Future Topics:

       * What does the sendfile multi-fd support actually mean ?
       * One shot event registrations.
       * Common prefix for API functions.
       	 Vish proposed "exs_", 2002-09-26.
       * ASYNC_MANYPARAMS.
         Done 2002-10-01.
