Currently released CIM Model is not accurate, and comments are not sufficient, especially for practical using. If it begins with too many defects, there would be much more trouble in the future. So I hope CIM Model should be treated more seriously.

We also use CIM as the basis for integration of Energy Market Management systems with other ISO systems

More effort is needed in stadnards development before CIM is useful. In particular in other fields than model exchange.
