<p class="MsoNormal">Greetings – I am called away unexpectedly tonight and thus cannot attend tomorrow’s meeting. We can choose to cancel the meeting, or we can press ahead and hold the meeting anyway if someone will volunteer to serve as chair and take minutes.

<p class="MsoNormal">At last week’s meeting we made good progress in understanding some use cases for kernel mode access to NVM, at least from a storage perspective.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Our next step should be to focus on slides 7 & 8 from the slide deck (attached). We need to boil Chet’s material down into several bullet points illustrating the relevant kernel mode use cases, and we need to explore why we believe that
KFI is critical to meeting those cases. <o:p></o:p></p>
