---+++ Minutes

---++++ Attendance/Quorum

We have 4/6 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 Jerry. Motion is approved.

---++++ Previous Minutes
John moved and Dave G seconded the approval of the [[P1735Minutes2011Mar21][March 21, 2011]] minutes. The motion was approved.

---++++ Action Item Review
Steven reviewed the open action items. The pruning of our e-mail reflector is in progress to comply with IEEE policy. Steven plans to complete and send out the request for self-assessment for approval early this week.

---++++ Liaison Reports
John reported that P1076 has an approved PAR and are getting underway. There has been no P1735-related activity yet.

---++++ Inter-operability


---++++ License Management
Michael has recieved feedback from several people on the protocol, and will be revising the current description for the next meeting.

---++++ Key Management
Steven needs to review the rationale to accompany the recommendation. He expects to bring that forward for approval as a recommendation in the next couple of meetings.

---++++ Rights Management
Dave G discussed his recent e-mail.  Several participants had not received the e-mail and found their copy in their Postini filters.

Steven plans to review the proposal with consideration for:
   1. Trust model and inheriting authentication from the tool private key
   1. Syntax for extensions and fit with existing pragma grammars in P1800 and P1076

Parminder noted that there were possible techniques for reducing the number of keys by combining tool-specific and common block digests.  There was some discussion of using pre-declared formats for key-blocks versus delimiter schemes.  There is some opinion from the crypto community that modest delimiter formats do not weaken the system too badly.  Balancing the strength of the cryptosystem with integrity management needs some more thought.

John asked about the common block assertion syntax, since the  hierarchy of authentication should flow from the key_block with the correct tool private key.  Reconciling the conceptual model of the digital envelope with the control block architecture is important.
