6) ''... add items here and below ...'' &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
7) Discussion: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* Adam: why 8 custodians? (some are extensions of the same upper ontology, I see only 3 main UO's) &lt;br /&gt;
** we need to focus to make sure we aren't just getting a few smart people together to just talk &lt;br /&gt;
** suggest we focus the discussion to the 3 UO's (Cyc, SUMO &amp;amp; DOLCE) on how they can be merged, or if that is not feasible, how we could address the issues ... (Adam: please clean this up ... and express your thoughts at the relevant lists or pages named under 4 above.) &lt;br /&gt;
* Pat: note that this is the 50th anniversary of AI ... they were addressing much broader issues then &lt;br /&gt;
* Steve: ref the [http://ontolog.cim3.net/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UpperOntologySummit/JointCommuniqueDraft#nidKO1 5 points] of the [[UpperOntologySummit/UosConvenerMeeting_2006_03_08/JointCommuniqueDraft,]] what can we agree to in terms of intent (first 3 points) and document approaches that may be feasible &lt;br /&gt;
* Pat: we may need to be unanimous ... maybe a majority outcome and a minority report is prper too ... we just want to inform the public and be honest with it &lt;br /&gt;
* Nicola: I essentially agree with the first 4 points &lt;br /&gt;
* Michael: point 5 is for us to explore ... we need to investigate, in addition to just expressing opinions &lt;br /&gt;
* [[JohnSowa|John F. Sowa]]: starting with terms most people alreaday agree with is a good starting point &lt;br /&gt;
** Pat: at a minimum, we should axiomatize to disambiguate &lt;br /&gt;
*** Nicola: this point (axiomatization) should come out clearly too &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* some relevant ongoing work has already begun &lt;br /&gt;
** PSL &amp;amp; Cyc &lt;br /&gt;
** DOLCE &amp;amp; ISO 15926 &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
8) UOS and prep sessions agenda review: &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* [[UpperOntologySummit/UosConvenerMeeting_2006_03_08/UosConvenerMeeting_2006_03_14]] &lt;br /&gt;
** Leo: aim to have the (near-final draft) joint communique before us prior to this meeting &lt;br /&gt;
*** 3/14 morning - custodians/panelists have a few (max 10 min) minutes each to outline the issues (feasibility, utility, ...) from their perspective with respect to an interrelated-UO, joint communique and beyond &lt;br /&gt;
*** 3/14 afternoon - all to review show stoppers and address them &lt;br /&gt;
*** 3/14 late afternooon - adopt the final joint communique, discuss next steps &lt;br /&gt;
*** 3/14 after the meeting - press interviews &lt;br /&gt;
