Jeroen and Chin reported that they are not able to attend. There have 
been two items on the task list  (from Jeroen's mail July 10):

> Most important points:
> - Next teleconference is on July 30th at the same time (16:00 european, 
> 10:00 eastern).
> - Martin will submit his work on defining the schema in text before the 
> next teleconference.

I should be reprimanded for not have this ready earlier. I have a 
half-baked attempt of a use case on my computer right now, and will sent 
it later. I already did notice I'm missing the concept of

There are a few other items to discuss:
- John Vollbrecht has recently looked in detail to G.800 for the NSI (I 
am mostly familiar with G.805, a predecessort). If John attends I'm 
curious to hear his opinion.
- Recently I have been approached by another standardisation body that 
did some work on our topic (they have a UML representation to describe 
network topology and looked at hypergraphs). While academic institutes 
are welcome to join for free, their standards are not available for 
free. How do others feel about this? I did look at the OGF guidelines, 
but it is not explicit.
- Paola Grosso did a few (very) minor changes to deliverable #1 based on 
comments (I promised this over a month ago, finally, she did - THANKS!). 
I like to sent it to the OGF editor. Are people familiar with the 
procedure (I'm not entirely).
- Should be try to get urn:ogf: delegated from IANA and urn:ogf:network 
delegated from the OGF? Is that a task for us to do?
