# Agenda/Notes 21.11.2018

_Note: American Holiday, Scott will not be able to attend_

### Present (2)

- @kjetilkjeka
- @pavel.kirienko

### Discuss statically allocated IDs in the application specific range ([On standards and regulation](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/on-standards-and-regulation/260/6))

- No progression beyond the current discussion
- Think about how a conclusion can be reached and discuss next meeting.

### Touch on SI design ([SI namespace design](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/si-namespace-design/207/13))

- Kjetil is worried about the current design, but has no constructive suggestions to improve it.

### Timestamping issues ([On timestamping](https://forum.opencyphal.org/t/on-timestamping/237/), [https://github.com/UAVCAN/dsdl/pull/53](https://github.com/UAVCAN/dsdl/pull/53))

- If 56 bit timestamps are used every message (continging a float32) will be at least 12 bytes.
- The maximum length of CAN 2.0B messages are 8 byte, 24 bit timestamp should be used to avoid all messages being muli frame.

### DSDL versioning

- Kjetil is worried about micro protocols using different datatypes.
- Been thinking about a different versioning scheme, will be concertized and announced before next meeting.
