3. New Business
 Greg noted a review of the new business action items from the previous call as follows:
 Jason’s minutes for the previous call noted the progress of documents 232 and 233, as
well as review comments relative to the RFI and DOE.
 P2030 Guideline, Section 6 relative to power systems interoperability needs a
clarification of approach.
 Writing group is currently pulling things out at a high level; draft 3.0 version 6.4
 Greg will review with the NREL folks (Connie and Tom) as to the exact format that the
Writing Group will use.
 p2030 Draft 3.0 is currently posted on the private side of mentor
 Section 4. 0 of Draft 3.0 relative to the liability, broadcast method, synchronicity, and
broadcast level. The working group has not yet dealt with the synchronicity and broadcast
levels yet.
 Cheoung volunteered to review the document to incorporate Section 6.4 in present
document # 243.
 Greg noted that the volunteers are planning to work with document # 232 and #233 and
mentioned the need to review a detailed discussion on security columns. Cheoung will
take 3.0 draft and aspects of communication and place into # 232 and #233 documents.
 Modifications should be made to current document. Writing Group will pull comments
from draft 3.0 document. Further discussions occurred relative to posting comments.
 The group discussed progress of the writing group where TF1 was believed to need
additional representation from the power industry.
 Cheoung volunteered to take p2030 document and incorporate missing information and
make it a part of Draft 3.0. Section 6 does not separate out the distribution system. Much
of the content does not provide a lot of insight. Recommendations to highlight areas for
inclusion in specific sections.
 Greg mentioned that the #232 and #233 documents may need to vet the information
going forward. Main documents will be the draft 3.0 and possibly an addendum used to
fill any voids perceived to be present. For proper vetting, assignments of sections to
specific individuals would be recommended.
 Greg noted the need to develop a “Next Steps/To Do” item list for ease in assisting
volunteer members to progress the TF1 to a finalized state. The assignment is to request
members to review and accept the working version of the document. Discussion occurred
among members as to the level of detail needed in the distribution section.
NEXT STEPS:
 Each individual review the draft 3.0 to determine areas/content where detail is needed
relative to the distribution level.
 Distribute a final version of draft 3.0 to the attendees prior to the meeting so that the
attendees can provide timely additions and edits.
 Suggestion to gather various documents, incorporate into draft 3.0 and post for all
volunteers.
NEXT TELECONFERENCE:
1. Document #s 232, 233, 295 and 297 should be printed out, reviewed by members and
ready for discussion at next meeting. First step will concentrate on # 297 to identify
missing information.
2. Document at bottom of minutes will include a caption relative to the documents and
their respective content. Example: DNC working documents: 232 = spreadsheet; 233=
word document, etc.
3. Greg to include DNC numbers of documents prior to the meeting minutes
