Patent policy
Ernst offered to show the patent policy, but presentation was unnecessary since the attendees are all regulars.

P1076 coordination
Ernst was in contact with Jim Lewis (Chair of the IEEE P1076 WG)and will continue the coordination with him. They will discuss the issues how to coordinate the revisions of the LRMs. Both WGs have the same timeline. One issue is how to handle new packages. It has to be clarified whether the packages should be provided as open-source software or part of the standard.
