16:34:41 <dlenrow> #info Notes starting from 9:34AM
16:35:43 <dlenrow> #info discussion of whether proposed network service APIs are a layer that sits above MD-SAL or sits beside it.
16:36:31 <dlenrow> #info MD-SAL team describe the need for extensibility to new aspects of the data model that can't be antitcipated
16:37:37 <dlenrow> #info group agrees there is a conflict between usability/consumability and ultimate flexibility
16:38:34 <dlenrow> #info Jan suggests that if we get the model defined on simple abstractions we can autogenerate simplified APIs similar to what is being recommended.
16:39:46 <dlenrow> #info Rex agrees we should enhance  models as much as possible to simplify resulting APIs, but expect we'll still need some hand coded access functional.
16:42:39 <dlenrow> #info Appears general agreement that app facing NBIs need to be tailored to app context. Need is for discussion to iron out details and get MD-SAL team to help suggest how to achieve ends within the current project.
16:43:23 <dlenrow> #info next steps are to schedule follow up discussions to propose design specifics and integration approach
