IHS Proposal For Maintaining URML

Carl Kersten, NAVFAC

	Announced NIBS is no longer responsible for maintaining the URML.
	Presented a Proposal from IHS to maintain and update the UMRL quarterly for $9,700.
	Steve Freitas suggested adding the URML maintenance to the DOD Contract Cost.
	Round Table discussion took place regarding whether or not SpecsIntact could automate the updating and maintenance of the URML.
	The response letter will be sent to NASA Headquarters Washington, D.C.
		Jim Whitehead explained automatically updating the organization addresses contained within the URML would not be feasible.

ACTIONS

	Carl Kersten will follow-up on the IHS Proposal to verify the deadline.
	Carl Kersten will follow-up on Steve Freitas suggestion to have the UMRL Maintenance funded by DOD
	SGS will submit an alternate proposal via email to counter the IHS proposal by Thursday, November 10, 2005.
	Once all proposals have been submitted, Carl Kersten will follow-up with Pete Rossbach and Miguel Morales to review the proposals submitted by
	IHS and SGS.

NASA Joining UFGS

Frank Der, NASA

	How do we get a list of the different UFGS Working Groups?
		An email will be distributed to the UFGS Working Groups announcing NASA has joined the UFGS Master Text database, and naming Frank Der as the NASA point of contact.
	Army & Navy's technical proponents are by discipline (function) rather than division.
		NASA will have to determine how they will restructure their technical proponents to align with Army and Navy.
	InDyne used the Master Maintenance Program to generate a Reference Comparison List against the Army, Navy and NASA databases.
	Frank Der stated that NASA/s recommendations submitted for incorporation into the UFGS database have not yet been implemented. The sections have not yet been filtered through the technical proponents; therefore, they could not be incorporated.
	NASA currently has a working process of revising UFGS sections as SGS performs a gap analysis to propose changes conforming to the Unified Facilities Criteria.

ACTIONS

	Maggie Muller will email the revised UFGS Sections with revisions that include NASA's recommendations to Carl Kersten, Sherri McMillion, Sheron Belcher and Frank Der. They will distribute the revised UFGS Sections to the appropriate personnel. This is in reference to the Criteria Change Requests that were previously submitted and approved, but were not implemented. This was to speed up the process by going directly to the Army and Navy representatives.
	Carl will send out an email to all the UFGS Working Groups informing them NASA has joined the UFGS and that Frank Der will be the NASA contact, NLT November 30, 2005.
	InDyne will email the Comparison List to NAVFAC for the updating of the UMRL for the January 2006 release.

Proposal for Army/Navy To Use NASA Contractor To Update the UFGS Database

Carl Kersten, NAVFAC

	The UFGS Working Group still needs to review the proposal.
	Rick Hatcher explained that the intent was to provide all agencies a more efficient means of getting the specifications update
