Agenda:

1. Agenda bashing.
   none.

2. Review action items.
   dme fails to complete.

3. Review fork() statement in the previous minutes.  (dme)

   Agreement that the text in minutes captures the discussion from the
   meeting on 2002-05-09.
   
   Vish asks if the list are new votable items ?
   dme: No, just intended to be a record that can be used to modify
   the requirements.

   Louis mailed some concerns to the list about the "allow inheritance
   of event queues" approach.  Added to the agenda for 2002-05-16.
   
4. Review Posix AIO paper. (Satya)

   General approval, a couple of questions over whether we should
   indicate that we don't wish to "fix" Posix AIO.

   Satya to re-send the statement to the list with a deadline of
   2002-05-21 for comments before sending to the SC.

5. Review proposed Section 4. (dme)

   1. Vish: SCTP remove, as IETF is better for this.

      Satya: IETF is "recommendations", whereas OpenGroup is more
      formal (i.e. branding).

      Remove the 1st section, add a new work item which is to provide
      feedback to IETF working group chairs.

   2. add memory buffers as source.
      possibly add memory buffers as destination.

      HPUX supports "Close connection after transfer completed".

      Check Linux, Windows for features and compatibility.

   3. Byte ordering for addresses needs to be discussed.

6. Austin Group update. (dme)
   dme spoke to the Austin Group meeting in Reading about ICSC socket
   API work.  See the recent slides for details.

   No formal liason has been appointed by the Austin Group at this
   time.

   The Group would like to see "finished specifications" which they
   can easily incorporate.

   New specifications are required to have an existing implementation
   before incorporation.

7. AOB.
   non.
