Review of last meeting notes / summary

Generally look good.
Believed we were talking about sunsetting Data Import? Answer: yes, Eric to correct that
Led to a discussion of sunsetting Data Import
- What would the TAG or GAT would think about sunsetting the end user app? Who does the roadmap serve? We know individual LEAs struggle.
- Broad SIG agreement that we should collaborate on template mapping and sync services generally for assessments and that we would sunset would be the bespoke technical implementation.
- Big question: how do we drive exchange of assessment results and how do we coordinate better in the meantime?

Action: Take this up at the next SIG meeting; Sean to lead with some "what we have learned"

ODS API Deployment options

See proposal here- https://edfi.atlassian.net/wiki/display/EFTD/Multi-Tenancy%2C+Deployment+Modes%2C+Routing
Questions
- Do SEAs need the backwards compatibility options? We know of at least 2 who do.
- Connection strings – how to store a password in the DB? As secure as the DB server, but general commentary that there should be a more secure option here, maybe default to not allowing this,
- Combine databases – admin and security? Been raised as a topic, not now as is a big change.
- Change queries – always concerned about efficiency – main issue is that there are many of these endpoints to poll? Is there a way to show what APIs have changed data, to eliminate polling of many APIs?
- Porting back to 6.1? It would be a big change, not on the roadmap. Looking at decoupling data standard support is the better path forward.
