<p>We reviewed the schedule for the Digital Manufacturing
Implementor's Forum (attached). There are now team leaders for
five projects. Each leader will explain why the project is
important and outline the projected benefits. If you wish to
become a leader please contact Martin Hardwick.</p>
<p>We reviewed the latest proposal for the Digital Thread
extension to Part 21. The extension adds an index to Part 21 so
that components can be found more rapidly and signed
individually. We discussed the possibility of allowing
application specific index entries. Such entries may make it
easier for new applications to create STEP data, but at the cost
of requiring all Part 21 processors to understand how to process
each of the entries.</p>
