---+++ Call to order

Ernst started the meeting at 8:05 am PST. We had a quorum.
---+++ Approval of agenda

Agenda was approved with no objections.
---+++ Administrative issues

<strong>Approval of November 5, 2014 minutes<br /></strong>The [[WGMmNov0514][November 5, 2014 minutes]] were approved after correction of a typo, with a motion by Alain seconded by Joachim.

<strong>Patent policy<br /></strong>Ernst offered to show the patent policy, but presentation was unnecessary since the attendees are all regulars.

<strong>1076.1 bank account</strong><br />David Smith is going to transfer the money of the 1076.1 WG bank account to DASC. The current status of the transfer operation is not known. David will act as treasurer until the transfer is complete and the 1076.1 WG bank account is closed. Ernst contacted DASC to clarify whether they can give financial support to the WG if necessary. DASC did not answer yet. WG has to deal with issues as they come (e.g. organization of corporate sponsorship for room rent for face-to-face meetings).

<strong>Elections<br /></strong>Call for nomination of the WG secretary position is still open till January 20, 2015. Ernst will immediately start the election phase afterwards.

<strong>P&P</strong><br />A new Policy and Procedure document is necessary if the treasurer position will not be filled after the withdrawal of David Smith. The Chair can make a temporary appointment for a period of up to six months. Thus, the creation of a new P&P based on the current IEEE template is not an urgent topic. Compared to the [[%PUBURL%/%WEB%/WebHome/OperatingProcedures2011.pdf][current P&P for the 1076.1 WG]] there have to be considered some minor changes concerning the voting rights. It is intended to submit the new P&P in the second quarter of 2015 to DASC. Thus, a new P&P would be available by the middle of the year.
---+++ Project status and planning

<strong>PAR</strong><br />Ernst brought up at the last DASC meeting on January 8, 2014 that the [[%PUBURL%/%WEB%/WebHome/P1076.1_PAR_Approved.pdf][Working Group PAR]] will expire by the end of 2015.The WG intends to apply for an extension of another two years. In accordance with DASC and Nescom schedules, the application will be send out after the end of March 2015. This date will be four years after the approval of the current PAR. Therefore, a detailed plan for the remaining work must be attached to the application as well as a draft document of the LRM. Ernst will contact Stan Krolikoski and Jonathan Goldberg in order to clarify whether it is sufficient to use the baseline LRM document or what else is needed for this purpose.

<strong>Planning of remaining work<br /></strong>Champions of the existing projects are strongly asked for sending updated plans to Ernst at least to days before the next WG meeting - that means by February 16, 2015. Champion positions for the projects VHPI-AMS and 1076.1.1 integration are vacant. Concerning VHPI-AMS, Ernst will contact David Smith to be informed about the current status of the work. Main focus will be be on declaration issues. 1076.1.1 integration will not take into consideration dimensional analysis. Thus, both projects could be carried out straightforward. Ernst is willing to lead the required activities if necessary.

*Next steps*
   * Election of secretary
   * Project plans (must be availiable two days before the next meeting) - champions are responsible.
   * Closing of bank account
