Meeting summary
---------------

* Notes starting from 9:34AM  (dlenrow, 16:34:41)
* discussion of whether proposed network service APIs are a layer that
  sits above MD-SAL or sits beside it.  (dlenrow, 16:35:43)
* MD-SAL team describe the need for extensibility to new aspects of the
  data model that can't be antitcipated  (dlenrow, 16:36:31)
* group agrees there is a conflict between usability/consumability and
  ultimate flexibility  (dlenrow, 16:37:37)
* Jan suggests that if we get the model defined on simple abstractions
  we can autogenerate simplified APIs similar to what is being
  recommended.  (dlenrow, 16:38:34)
* 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.  (dlenrow, 16:39:46)
* 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.
  (dlenrow, 16:42:39)
* next steps are to schedule follow up discussions to propose design
  specifics and integration approach  (dlenrow, 16:43:23)
