+## NAESB ESPI Standard Proposed Changes for ESPI Version 4.1
+* Remove SFTP as a transport option from the ESPI standard
+  * SFTP is no longer widely used for data exchange
+  * SFTP is natively not as secure as other transport options (e.g., HTTPS)
+  * Discussion whether to remove SFTP from the ESPI standard entirely
+* Add Steam as an Energy Type in ESPI
+  * Steam is increasingly being used in industrial applications
+  * Discussion on how to represent Steam data in ESPI
+    * Need to define the unit of measure for Steam (e.g., lb/hr, kg/s)
+    * Need to define the data structure for Steam readings
+* Add Renewable Energy Certificates (RECs) as a Data Type in ESPI
+  * RECs are important for tracking renewable energy generation and consumption
+  * Discussion on how to represent RECs in ESPI
+    * Need to define the data structure for RECs
+    * Need to define the unit of measure for RECs (e.g., MWh)
+
+    
+## CMD Certification Platform Updates
+* Change how CMD Certification Platform versions are named
+  * The current versioning system was based on which version of the ESPI standard was supported
+    * Certification Applicants are able to select which version of the ESPI standard to certify 
+          against (3.3 or 4.0)
+    * The current CMD Certification Platform supports both ESPI Version 3.3 and Version 4.0
+    * Does not allow for version updating for new changes not related to ESPI versions
+  * Proposed new versioning system
+    * Major.Minor.Patch
+      * Major version changes when there are significant changes to the platform
+      * Minor version changes when new features or data types are added
+      * Patch version changes for bug fixes and minor updates
+        * Example: Version 2.1.0
+        * What should the initially renamed version be?
+* Release a new version of the CMD Certification Platform
+  * Features to be included in the new version (assumes NAESB ESPI Version 4.1 changes are approved)
+    * Support for Steam as an Energy Type
+    * Support for RECs as a Data Type
+    * Remove SFTP as a transport option
+* Should existing SFTP certification Function Blocks be removed or deprecated?
+  * If SFTP is removed as a transport option, should SFTP certification Function Blocks be removed for Version 3.3 
+    and Version 4.0?
+  * Discussion on the impact of deprecating SFTP certification Function Blocks on existing certified applications
