    (1E15)
- Adam: why 8 custodians? (some are extensions of the same upper ontology, I see only 3 main UO's)     (1E16)
- we need to focus to make sure we aren't just getting a few smart people together to just talk     (1E16A)
- suggest we focus the discussion to the 3 UO's (Cyc, SUMO & 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.)     (1E16B)
- Pat: note that this is the 50th anniversary of AI ... they were addressing much broader issues then     (1E17)
- Steve: ref the 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     (1E18)
- 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     (1E19)
- Nicola: I essentially agree with the first 4 points     (1E20)
- Michael: point 5 is for us to explore ... we need to investigate, in addition to just expressing opinions     (1E21)
- John F. Sowa: starting with terms most people alreaday agree with is a good starting point     (1E22)
- Pat: at a minimum, we should axiomatize to disambiguate     (1E22A)
