---+++ 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 Bin, seconded by Michael. Motion is approved.

---++++ Previous Minutes 
Michael moved and Dave G seconded the approval of the [[P1735Minutes2009Jan19][January 19, 2009]] minutes.  The motion was approved.

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

---++++ Liaison Reports
No report presented.

---++++ Meeting Schedule
Michael noted the difficulty of preparing for an early Monday meeting every week.  Dave G and others hoped that work would not slow down to half the speed.  John noted that customer interest was a big driver.

The working group discussed projected schedule, and our progress to date.  Steve reported that he expected a draft to be close to ballot ready by the end of 2009 as long as we continue at the current rate. That would meet the schedule estimate in our approved PAR.

Dave G moved and John seconded a meeting schedule of every other week at the current time. The motion was approved.

---++++ Recommended Algorithms


---++++ License Management
Michael reviewed his e-mailed discussion points about alternate secure licensing validation using a socket-based inter-process communication scheme that used SSL/TLS for protecting the communication with a server.  In discussion, John noted that the concept needed some socializing to achieve consensus. Dave G. suggested that investigating the technology used for dongle's might be helpful.  Steven suggested that Smart Card interfaces might be another fruitful source of secured verification systems.

Michael asked about the use cases for licensing, in particular how licenses are bound to rights and/or tools. Without opening a discussion about rights management, there appears to be consensus that licensing provides a gate for the granting of some contractual right. The question what the IP authors really need, and will pay for, will govern how we handle protection of their property.  John suggested that we might have a discussion with licensing technology vendors to better understand how we can structure recommendations that will encourage entry into the IP licensing support business.

---++++ Inter-operability Testing
Steven suggested that we bring this issue back on the table and plan to draft recommendations for testing that can be used to identify errata and open issues for further standardization.
