Meeting 15 Minutes

Meeting 20 Minutes

Teleconference, January 10th, 2006
A quorum of 15 out of 19 voting members present - attendance is updated on the roster web page.

1. Call to order

Meeting was called to order at 09:00 PST/17:00 GMT.

2. Approval of minutes from meeting 19

 Victor  moves to approve the minutes as posted.
  Andy seconds.
 No objections/abstainers. The motion to approve the minutes was carried.

3.  Review Recirculation results and comments

The recirculation of draft 6 went through without changing the votes - 54/55 in favor and one abstained.  There were 3 editorial comments, which were really typos, and one comment that amounted to a typo and a question about the intended semantics of the write() file method. Since the LRM is clear on the matter, no modification was needed (see issue 624 for details).
In response, we agreed to all editorial issues (fixing the typos). Joe prepared a clean draft numbered 6a, containing the fixes to the typos (and additionally fixes a mis-spelled name and another typo). The clean copy has change markings and issue boxes removed. Otherwise the version is exactly similar to the recirculation version.

4.  Report on RevCom submission

With the conclusion of the ballot process, the WG will pass on to the sponsor a submission package including the LRM drafts 6 and 6a, as well as the ballot resolution spreadsheet. These materials are posted on the download page.

Since there is no continuous processing before the next RevCom meeting, we expect the submission to be considered by the end of March.

Victor: the information has been delivered to the RevCom administrator, but no word yet on whether anything is missing. The material is reviewed typically a few weeks prior to the meeting.

5. Proposal for seeking maintenance and enhancement PAR

The option of submitting another PAR, for maintaining the standard and introducing enhancements was discussed. It is decided to wait with this initiative until after the RevCom meeting.

WG members were encouraged to keep their DASC membership current to maintain a viable working group.

6. Other Business  

No other business was discussed.

7. Patent policy

The chair has issued a call for essential patents, in compliance with current IEEE/SA PatCom guidelines. The WG members are advised to review the call for essential patents and the patent related slide presentation posted on the web site .
