The CAM Tooling pilot continues to meet its modified scheduled. Titanium 
parts have been purchased for the baseline testing which will take place 
at Boeing on September 16th.

We continued our discussion of STEP-NC AP238 Edition 2.  A summary was 
given of the lessons learned from the AP238 Edition 1 testing. A new 
measurement workingstep should be added to edition 2. A new 
measurement_uncertainty should be added to quantify the accuracy of 
measurement devices. Multi-system measurement devices are becoming 
available for CNC controls and we should consider running a pilot to 
test their operation using STEP-NC.
