Kyle,

Thank you for organizing this.

I think the original email you sent out did not solicit any comments
(except for possibly proposing a different time for the weekly meetings).
So that is probably why you have not heard from anybody (including me). So
we are ready to have the meeting but if the consensus is that people need
more time to prepare that is fine too.
I think we need to set an agenda for our meeting (similar to what you do
for the ML2 calls) so we have a better idea of what we need to do during
the meeting. In the proposal, we have identified new object resources.
Should we start making those definitions and their relationship with other
objects more precise. Just a suggestion.

Thanks,

Mohammad

I am inclined to skip this week's meeting due to the fact I haven't heard
many
replies yet. I think a good starting point for people would be to review
the
BP [1] and Design Document [2] and provide feedback where appropriate.
We should start to formalize what the APIs will look like at next week's
meeting,
and the Design Document has a first pass at this.

Thanks,
Kyle
