We agreed on an agenda for the Stockholm meeting. A goal for the meeting 
will be to develop STEP and STEP-NC usage cases to present to the 
cutting tool and machine tool vendors at IMTS in Chicago in September.

We discussed the machining accuracy demonstration and after the meeting 
the following schedule was developed to show the tasks that need to be 
completed before each conference call between now and Thursday June 14th 
demonstration.

The next completion item is for the participating cutting tool vendors 
to make cutting tool recommendations so that the data can be added to 
the STEP-NC program. This item along with a first set of measurements 
for the machine tool positional accuracy should be ready in time for the 
next conference call.

The full demonstration scenario is as listed below:
