+  Face to face meeting
Proposal for a face-to-face meeting on Feb 21st
during the regular schedule. A few of the attendees
expressed interest (John, Logie, Arnab, Kevin). 
Most members wanted to continue with the regular 
phone call on Feb21 as they are not planning
to be in the Bay area. 

+ Feedback from Surey

  - Survey will be distributed after changes
    are incorporated. We will continue accepting
    feedback even after the deadline.

  - Grading of survey results will show us the 
    prioritization of requirements

+ Kevin: "Should we define a API for multiple 
  simulators" 

  -  Committee had no preferences to dive into 
     implementation issues. n
  -  Kathy: Language interoperability is higher
     priority than simulator interoperability. 
  -  Micheal: Does the PAR allow this?
  -  Decided to add a question in the survey
     worded as " Is it important to have the 
     capability to cosimulate multiple simulators 
     (supporting different languages) from 
     different vendors? 

+ Adjournment motion
Kathy moves that we adjourn, Micheal seconds. 


+ Pending Action Items
- Logie to setup website and email for committee
- Somdipta and Rob Slater  to collect prioritization of issues
  from their respective companies.
