Issues
======
We reviewed several issues.
A number of them (#226, #240, #282) touch on identification-related points;
we agreed that we are working on these and that they should be addressed by
the work in progress.
Several of them (#283, #296) we decided require no further action and agreed
to close.

Identification/Correlation
==========================
We discussed Christian's work on correlation.  We agreed that the approach
he outlined would address the requirements that we had previously agreed.
On area of open discussion was whether it was necessary for the trade
identification section to be able to distinguish primary identifiers from
aliases for multiple firms.  This wasn't in the requirements we agreed, but
might be a useful addition.  We felt that it might be necessary to hold a
vote on this, but that we weren't yet ready to do so.

Marc agreed to work on a model to try to generalize identification
structures used for trade identification so that they can be used for post
trade event identification.  

Standards Committee Offsite
===========================
Brian said that he would begin working on a presentation on the impact of
MTF recommendations on the standard to be presented at the July standards
committee offsite.


Next meeting:
