What is the outcome here? Is it a change or an acknowledgement?

depends on result of decision at #35

Interviewer Instruction#27Rename Interviewer Instruction2 Oct
Arofan has provided input. For discussion - depends on result of decision at #35
Questions#30Question and Multiple Question Item2 Oct

Input from Arofan and Chris given. Need a resolution based on that advice

depends on result of decision at #35

Data Channel#36

Objects related to acquisition decided

Quality#17AQuality2 Oct
new text attached to wiki. waiting for picture from Helen
Attribute Component#31Attribute Component2 Oct

Jenny has provided an improved definition.

Related to issue #31 and #7

Data Set#7

unit data

dimensional data

11 Oct

We agree to the tenet of it and exact changes - in terms of relationships and definitions - to be worked out at sprint. We also need to tighten up all the definitions of dataset related objects.

Statistical Activity#28What is the difference between Statistical Activity and Process Step Execution Record18 Sept
Action: Definition to be improved. we could look into the relationships between these objects. This deserves some attention/discussion.
Process Step#29What does a CSPA Service map to?4 Oct

GSIM should add a mention of Statistical Service either to the description or examples of a Business Service

Review text at Sprint to ensure alignment

Methodology#17BMethodology5 Sept
