+
+## Notes
+
+* A vertical standard related to interfaces will be released in Sept 26.
+
+* Minutes approved.
+
+* Bulk hardware part # description.
+
+* CO2 use as part number is a question.
+
+* Suggest bulk be related to a specification.
+
+* Part # not defined by owner — change part # to part ID along with definition.
+
+* Add kind of product to definition — SKU or category (CO2 and CO).
+
+* Will conformance example map into SPDX properly — model# did not map directly to a SKU? Guidance required.
+
+* Bulk can be sold as fractional units — what is the unit related to fractional part?
+
+* Batch can be used as a Serial #:
+
+  * Batch identity vs unit.
+  * SKU is a description of shipment, product and charge rate.
+  * Quantities are needed (units).
+
+* Note: emissions are not contained or accurately measured — calculated values.
+
+* Product ID describes or defines type — may use.
+
+* Do we capture byproducts — gas releases?
+
+* If it is for sale need part#.
+
+* QUDT supports fractional units — QUDT units class may need to be revised for more details.
+
+* New summary and description — needs to improved to include identifying information be provide details — SKU creates different part #s — qualified by manufacturer — as defined by the product agent — transport agent.
+
+* Need examples in documentation.
+
+* Do we need a specification related to bulk? Maybe some will want.
+
+* Spec related to movement of water in California — watersheds, evaporation, contamination — what are you wanting to measure? Multiple measurements — how much water did farm x use? Does shipment combine elements related to measure?
+
+  * Collecting milk from different dairies? What is the input measure? Bulk production?
+  * Modelled example to determine if bulk handling based on agents based on relationships works.
+  * Part is lettuce but products change in volume by stage — picking — transport — clearing — transport — sale.
+
+## Action Items
+
+* Model Bulk commodity processes, ID, quality, agents and description.
+* Review PRs and make suggestions or approve.
+
+## Decision Items
+
+* Next week's conversation related to BULK part #.
+* Review DPP.
