The Patent slides were offered for review.

Motion by Dave G, seconded by John. Motion is approved.

Previous Minutes

John moved and Dave G seconded the approval of the July 27, 2009 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

P1800 is still working on their ballot responses.

Inter-operability Testing

Key exchange remains an open issue. Our target is achieving working group approval in the short-term. A ballotable draft is a much larger project.

Dave G asked about the scope of content that is expected in version 1. Steven indicated that our balloted draft would likely include several levels of versioned conformance, reflecting the sequence of decisions made over the course of standardization.

Dave G suggested that version 1 conformance should also include the current recommendations for required algorithms. John suggested that the Digital Envelope use case is also a component of that version 1 conformance. John raised concerns about needing the *_public_key keywords incorporated in both 1800 and 1076 standards.
