---+++ Minutes 

---++++ Attendance/Quorum 
We have 3/4 eligible entities, and have a working quorum.

---++++ Patent Policy 
 The [[http://standards.ieee.org/board/pat/pat-slideset.pdf][Patent slides]] were offered for review.

No new claims were disclosed at the call for essential patent claims.

---++++ Agenda Approval 
Motion by Dave G, seconded by Michael. Motion is approved.

---++++ Previous Minutes 
Michael moved and Karlton seconded the approval of the [[P1735Minutes2009Feb2][February 2, 2009]] minutes.  The motion was approved.

---++++ Action Item Review
Steven reviewed the open action items.

---++++ Liaison Reports
IEEE CAG has requested a status update for their March 5-6 meeting, and Steven will be sending that today.

P1800 is going to ballot with a draft that includes our contributions for fixing the initial vector problem.

---++++ Recommended Algorithms
Requests have been made for benchmarking of AES-256 performance, and responses are still pending.   Steven suggested proceeding unless there is an objection from implementors, with the understanding that subsequent evidence of hardship could merit re-visiting the decision.

---++++ License Management
Michael gave an overview of a socket-based communication protoccol for externally provided license management.  The approach has similar characteristics to the dynamic call from shared library approach, though there is a potential weakness due to repeated use of a common encryption key.


---++++ Inter-operability Testing
Ruchi is just started investigating the set of issues around inter-operability and expects to be ready in a future meeting to begin discussing the topic in the working group.

---++++ Key Management Issues
Nitin is looking for feedback on the issues discussed so far, based on the current document.  He believes that March 23 is the earliest reasonable opportunity to come back with an update for further discussion.

Michael asked about experience with acquiring certificates.  Nobody had a response, and some further investigation should be done on the costs and requirements.

---++++ Other Business


---++++ Adjournment 
Motion by Dave G, second by Dave C.  Approved by acclamation at 10:44 pm CDT

---+++ Approval
These minutes were approved at the [[P1735Minutes2009Mar9][March 9, 2009]] meeting.
