  - Decided on "pwg-semantic-model"
  - Hold off on creation of repository until license flavor for repo is decided

(4) Running motions in PWG WG meetings and SC meetings

- Discussion
  - Smith cannot remember any motions being run in a WG meeting 
    - It would always be done within a meeting itself
  - Smith saw a statement in the Process 3.0 that says there are voting rights 
    that are achieved within a particular working group
  - BUT - Voting has actually always been done using a PWG Formal Vote where 
    all PWG voting members can vote via email

- Consensus
  - SC concurs that individual work groups must not do an internal WG vote
    (only straw polls or other non-binding consensus mechanisms)
  - Non-issue, but good discussion

(5) Drupa presentation content review
http://www.drupa.com/

- Dusseldorf, Germany on 05/31/16 to 06/10/16
  - Leslie Wood replied that they're holding a place for PWG on 01/27/16
  - 15-minute talks scheduled at 2:30pm on 06/03 and 06/06

- Discussion
  - Paul sent a couple of drafts of abstract text for Drupa presentation
    on 03/02/16 (along with Anne Price's comments)
  - SC reviewed the email entitled "Drupa Draft Text for Discussion at this
    Thursday's SC Meeting"
  - Suggestions that longer paragraphs should be converted into bulletized lists

- Anne Price suggested articulating the benefits of a standards-based approach
  (and a bulletized list for this as well)
  * Faster TTM - OS generic drivers
  * Interoperability
  * [remove as premature topic] Access to cert programs
  * "Best ideas as vetted by WW experts" --> "Use ubiquitous IPP technology"
  * [come up with better phrasing for these bullets?]

- Discussion about how connectivity works
  - Between PC / Mac and printer via USB could use IPP over USB
  - So network and local printers could have the *same* interface

ACTION: Paul to work on a second draft with bulletized versions of the last 2 paragraphs and another block of bullets for the value prop of standards-based approach
- CLOSED - second draft reviewed and approved on 03/04/16

- OPEN

(7) Liaison engagement with other 3D printing organizations

  - Ira suggests we don't pursue formal liaison using the ISTO

ACTION: Smith to reach out to the 3MF officers to inquire about PWG collaboration
- OPEN

(8) Promoting PWG membership to 3D printing domain companies and individuals
