We agreed that there will be a 3-hour meeting Thursday 29 July 3-6 pm
to cover all 4 of these topics.  It will be a member meeting but open
to the public for interested visitors.

We agreed to discuss and hopefully pursue all of the items listed.
We will also explore the possibility of a liaison agreement
between our organizations.

There will be a 4-day meeting in Long Beach 17-20 May at the
IMS Learning Impact 2010 http://www.imsglobal.org/learningimpact2010

We hope to set up a new working group meeting on Friday 21 May
in Long Beach to investigate these possibilities.  Leonard Daly,
might you attend?  Can anyone else attend?

Alan Hudson had important questions posted last week regarding Prototype
handling, these need to be discussed in more detail.  We agreed that
defining and building an example scene or two that illustrated the issues
will be the best path forward.

> 
>     7) Geometric medical data (Kwan Hee Yoo)
> 
>     8) X3D Digital Textbook (Kwan Hee Yoo)

We did not discuss any of these proposals in detail.
