Frank Farance presented the data models of PAPI and the wording used in the document. This presentation was based on PAPI 5.0 with some of the changes that are being incorporated in the PAPI 6.0 specification that is still yet to be released.

Each category of information may be stored in either separate or consolidated repositories. Kevin Riley made note of the fact that his organization employs a different communication configuration that the one that was depicted in Frank's Distance Learning example.

Robbie clarified that minors will need to authorize release of their personal information piece by piece as needed.
