Liaison Reports

Steven reported on the resolution from IEEE on participation rules for entity-based working groups (including P1735). The IEEE has published an FAQ on The Entity Standards Development Process to explain the implications of the policy. Steven informed the group that he would be purging the e-mail reflector of non-members to comply with the IEEE policy, but that the archives would remain public.

Steven reported on P1647 interest in adding P1735 encryption support to their standard. They are presently in ballot, and the encryption work would need to wait for their next standard.

Inter-operability

License Management

Key Management

Rights Management

Dave and Parminder are looking to close on requirements as a means of identifying areas where consensus has developed and where it needs more work.

Work Plan

Other Business

The working group discussed a self-assessment of $50K to fund technical writing. Steven will coonduct an e-mail vote to formally approve the funding request from members. Dave G asked that a high-level schedule be included in the request for vote, to help strengthen the case for funding.
