The last minutes were accepted; Tim's outstanding action was closed, because not crucial currently, invited expert issues are still being resolved by the W3C, and all are again encouraged to sign up to be scribes for future meetings.
Please sign up for F2F meeting in Boston (or indicate regrets or online participation) and be ready to contribute to and review documents on the wiki. The deadline to produce documents for review is a week before F2F1 (June 29th)
Four definition contributors (Khalid, Jun, Satya and Paolo) have been identified for the Model TF. Two coordinators (Yogesh and Simon Miles) have been identified for the Provenance Access and Query TF. And likewise, for the Connection Task Force (Eric S and Kai). Coordinators still need to be identified for the last TF. All coordinators have been asked to produce a delivery plan to be discussed at next telcon (See ACTION-9 and ACTION-10).
The strategy is to reach consensus on concept properties from email and wiki discussions. Four proposals were put forward in the agenda. Three were discussed very constructively. We reached consensus on the first two. We were also converging towards consensus for the third proposal, but we run out of time. Actions were assigned to Satya, Kai and Jim (Action-6, Action-7,and Action-8) to formulate variants of the third proposal, to be debated by email and next week at the telcon.

Summary: Four definition contributors (Khalid, Jun, Satya and Paolo) have been identified for the Model TF.
