1. Question: what does isAvailable() mean in case of multiple consumers. Do all consumers need to have the same time(s)?
   1. Leave in for now, review after more implementation, one suggestion of modification bool isAvailable(whosAsking);
   2. Will be discussed later during the meeting, Stef will show an example of using isAvailable(whosAsking);
2. Question: Collection or Set instead of List for (In|Out)putExchangeItems in LC?
   1. It will be ICollection .
3. Question: Introduce IState instead of Object? This will emphasize the relation between IManageState and IPersistentState. Additional suggestion: IPersistentState extends IState.
   (b.t.w: makePersistent / readPersistentState are wrong names, should be something like getAsByteStream)
   1. Gena has discussed with Rob between last and current meeting. After some discussion the final result is described on: Suggestion about changed to state management
4. To be discussed: Introduce generics in IOutputItem.Values()? i.e. weakly typed via <T>
   1. We will not introduce generics in the standard. However, they could be used in the SDK.
5. Remark: Working with providers/consumers, we should take care that such a circularity might give garbage collection problems. After a short discussion, we see no real general way so solve this risk, so it has been decided that we should leave this up to the Garbage Collector.
   • Point noted, no specific agreement as to solution
6. We will introduce something like OpenMIException : Exception. However, first we will have a detailed look at the guidelines for introducing custom exceptions in both .Net and Java.: Guidelines for introducing custom exceptions

3.3 Suggestions for the states and possible transitions between the states of the ILinkableComponent
