   * Progress on 2.0 spec 
      * Review and resolve any CmSpecV2Issues on CmSpecificationV2
      * Recent Changes: 
         * Split of documents: CmSpecificationV2Samples, 
CmSpecificationV2Shapes, CmSpecificationV2ImplGuidance
         * drop partial update/patch as a MUST requirement
         * introduction of dcterms:abstract and removal of dcterms:name
         * UI Preview change of dcterms:name to oslc:shortTitle
         * updated oslc:usage to be task and planItem
         * rename of 5 relationship properties to better align with their 
usage
         * formatting rules:
            * RDF/XML, no additional definition needed
            * JSON, need to provide mapping
         * no objections to these changes
      * Determine whether to declare specification as entering 
"finalization"
         * WG decided to defer entering finalization until July 28 to 
align with Core finalization and closing on 3 items:
            * JSON rules
            * Further updates to relationship meaning
            * Further clarification of state predicates
         * Review of finalization process:
            * Declared final once 2 service provider implementations have 
been completed and implementation reports have been given.
            * Spec edits are limited to 1 or 2 authors, edit approvals are 
reviewed by working group
   * Addition of whoami service to CmExperimental
      * Discussed alternatives: query language variables ($currentuser) 
vs. this approach.  Leaning towards SP discovery of service as to not 
introduce new capabilities to the query syntax.
      * Need to clarify usage as state is not maintained on server 
(current user), though derived from request headers and http sessions.a
   * Community updates 
      * Minor updates to CmHome: intro text to be more broad, added link 
to V2 impl guidance
      * Implementation progress
         * Rational CM products reported good progress on 2.0 based 
service providers
         * External WG members inquired about availability of these: beta, 
etc.
         * Continued adoption report by Oracle consuming 1.0 and planning 
to evaluate 2.0
   * Next meetings: 
      * 28-Jul-2010 regular (adding to declare entering finalization)
      * 4-Aug-2010 regular
