Meeting 19 Minutes

Teleconference, November 21st, 2005
A quorum of 12 out of 21 voting members present.

1. Call to order

Meeting was called to order at 09:00 PST/16:00 GMT.

2. Approval of minutes from meeting 17

Darren Galpin moves to approve the minutes as posted.
Sylvie seconds.
No objections/abstainers. The motion to approve the minutes was carried.

3. Review Proposed Ballot Response

We've worked with the team that were elected last rime to address the ballot issues, the results are embedded in draft 6 which was posted on the web a while back. There are details of the resolution for each and every issue in the issue database and there's also an excel sheet in the download section of the website that contains a condensed form with all the issues and all the proposed resolutions, and that spreadsheet is actually part of the package which will be recirculated.

We did correspond with each and every one of the individuals that commented and made sure that we understood the comments. The proposed resolution was shared with each reviewer and I think we have reached an understanding on all issues. So again, while they're going to review the ballot as a whole and they're going to comment on it, I think we have addressed everything. Many of the issues we had to fix as they were typos. So we've had draft 6 posted for a while, I received a couple of comments from people but nothing that would require changes at this point

4. Vote on revised LRM

Vote for the approval of draft 6 for recirculation. Formally we're really approving the changes to the draft itself as draft 5 has been approved, but we'll go through the full procedure just in case. I did receive 5 votes by mail from people who are not able to attend today - since this is the beginning of the Thanksgiving week. These are Sandeep, Joe Hupcey, Brett Lammers and Steve Perlmutter, all of them in support. An additional e-mail entry is Stylianos, in support as well.

Total of 22 voting members, 17 votes in favor, no negative votes, no abstains and no comments.
The return rate is 17/22 (77.2%), the approval rate is 17/17 (100%). Draft 6 is approved for recirculation.

any comments?

Victor : The recirculation be done as soon as possible. If they don't have any problems then they don't need to vote again after the recirculation as their vote will count the same as the one in the initial Ballot.

5. Other Business

Victor: Will recirculate draft 6 to ballot pool - this should be quite quick about 10 days or so. With that we hope to get the approval of the Ballot and get onto the final stage which is the standards board, that will probably happen in the february march time frame

5. Patent policy
