The IT TAG voted to accept the 2006 TAG meeting minutes as written.

The TAG altered the Mission Statement, the Short Term Goals, and the Long Term Goals. The TAG voted to change some minor grammar issues and to change all references from “Next Generation Trns*port” and “NGT” to “web Trns*port”.

The TAG supports the inclusion of TMR 8039 with 8570. Both modification requests discuss the requirement to keep attachment functionality within Trns*port. The IT TAG wants to add comments to TMR 8570 expressing our concerns with performance when doing analysis against a database that contains both historical and transactional data.

The IT TAG endorses TMR 9607 which concerns regional options and currency formatting per contract.

The IT TAG endorses TMR 9655, which concerns a more logical organization of systems parameters tabs, “as a standard for web Trns*port”.

Don Grayson led a discussion of the web Trns*port Technical TRT and asked for members. Bob DeHoff of ITI led a discussion on remote access to Trns*port through a data services layer.

Our new officers for the next two years are Andy Crenshaw of Alabama as the TAG coordinator and Marcita Wade of Virginia as the assistant TAG coordinator.

The meeting adjourned at 3:56 p.m.
