INTRODUCTIONS
ITEM 1: RootsTech (Robert Burkhead)
We should not only consider the 20 minute expo sessions, but also the unconferencing (?1 hour).
We need to affirm who is attending.
ITEM 2: Status update about Source and Citations summaries (see "**A Data Model for Sources and Citations**")

A+Data+Model+for+Sources+and+Citations
file/view/Sources%20and%20Citation%20data%20model%20DRAFT%20v%200.4%2027nov2011.pdf
Geir is working on an extended version of his materials.
It would be helpful to have a small group of examples that could show the different models would transfer the information between programs. Louis is concerned about timely progress. (See the last agenda item.)
ITEM 3: BetterGEDCOM.org domain (follow up)
Myrt has the domain; is working with Andy to consolidate the domains into a single account. Roger approached and has arranged with Gustave (Simply Hosting - http://SimplyHosting.net/ ) for an account.
ITEM 4: Draft Standard for personal names (Neil Parker)
Two documents, both rather lengthy are about complete. Wiki page/navigation bar both ready for content.
ITEM 5: Further thoughts on P.R. (Tony Proctor)
Moved to next agenda
ITEM 6: Update about "Developing the Organization"
ITEM 7: Define a first cut set of Source / SourceDetail / Citation tables in time for RootsTech. (see
message/view/Sources+and+Citations/48324558#48362656
and message/view/Sources+and+Citations/48033200#48156020 )
Discussed at some length. Under any of the proposals being considered, the ability to generate a group of Source / SourceDetail / Citation tables in time for RootsTech is more a matter of resources.
