  1. I'm not sure when the Genomics meeting is but if by any chance it is before the CMAG meeting then a quick update on the proceedings would be very timely.

    1. The Genomics meeting is running all day Wednesday so we wouldn't be able to do an update in the Face to Face meeting. 

  2. Re: Item 8.
    I mentioned that we had been under the impression that concepts with "non-synonyms" should be retired.
    Guillermo said this policy was deprecated in 2005... It's still present in the latest Editorial Guide.

     7.1.4.1 

    Concepts with synonyms more specific than the FSN are considered ambiguous

     

     7.1.4.2

     

    When a synonym is more general than the FSN, and there is no common context in which it has the same meaning as the FSN, the concept should be retired as ambiguous.

     

    As I said, I think the new status resolves this issue (allows just the description to be retired). So can I assume the above to sections will be revised/removed too?
