Cross Functional Topics - Gary

·         Discussion on whether the new XML license master list format is intended for external tools or to be used internal only to the Legal Team in producing the license list

·         Gary recalled a discussion where we decided the first release of the XML format would be internal only

·         Consensus that one of the overall goal of the XML format is to enable better tooling - the issue is only related to the phasing of the XML format implementation

·         Some of the issues to external tool use would be the inconsistency in the element and property names with the SPDX specification

·         Request that the technical team be involved if the XML format is to be used externally

·         Will be discussed on the legal call
