Discussion
Philippe welcomed everyone and presented the agenda.  
Update on Reference/Development Platform
Please look at slide deck. Gunnar presents the status of the installation of boards at the GENIVI “lab”
Stephen L: Renesas has now Android 10 support. A couple of clarifications asked on HW versions.
•	Renesas H3: we are using H3 Starter Kit because it has the 4GB minimum required for Android. 
•	The M3 Starter Kit board has only 2GB so although it could boot Android it is not preferred for running large additional app stacks such as Google Auto apps.
•	 However M3 SoC itself is fully capable of running Android and if you have M3 Salvator-X boards the Android deliverables for that can be used.

HAL Topics (Vehicle, Camera, Audio)

Audio HAL
Sujal will send a name within Harman for discussing the project scoping with us

Vehicle Data API subproject
Please look at slide deck. Philippe presents the status and then hands over to Gunnar who presents the various architectural concepts elaborated by the Vehicle HAL subproject. These will be presented and discussed at the upcoming tech summit. Objective is to agree on a baseline concept for the vehicle data capturing architecture

App Ecosystem 
Please look at slide deck. 
Steve: underlines there was no exchanging of information among OEMs (anti-trust approach)
•	xN= how many OEMs identify this supplier
Steve: there might be now on-going unilateral, bilateral or multilateral discussions between OEMs and those parties (cannot be done in a project like GENIVI for anti-trust reason)
Charnjiv: confirms what Steve presented
Any Other Business
None
