*Discussion*
Another scenario will be developed based around the National Electronic Disease Surveillance System (NEDSS). The vision of NEDSS is to have integrated systems that can transfer appropriate public health, laboratory, and clinical data efficiently and securely over the Internet to help improve the ability to identify and track infectious diseases outbreaks and monitor disease trends. The scenario will likely incorporate different levels of local health office reporting to state, to regional offices, to federal offices and how it would be handled. A draft of the scenario will be distributed to the list once it is ready.

The latest update to the requirements for the scenarios is available on the MedMid web page at: http://middleware.internet2.edu/medmid/draft-internet2-medmid-workplan-scenarios-latest.htm. The requirements are highlighted in blue starting at section 2.1.4 Alternate format. In some browsers the text may not show as blue. In that case look for identifier REQ[] with a number in the brackets.

*Fall member meeting update*.
Jack and Mary jointly submitted a proposal for a panel during the session that has been approved. There is work to set up a medical track during the meeting. The final scheduling has not yet been set. A call will be scheduled shortly to go over the session and finalize the schedule.

The remainder of the call was devoted to working on the requirements for the scenarios.

The next call is Thursday September 5, 2002.
