Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

Steven is working w/ IEEE SA Professional Services on Technical Editor contracts.

Steven also reported working with Mike Gebert from IEEE StandardsFocus newsletter on an article about P1735.

Jarek reported no related activity on encryption issues from P1076 during the past two weeks.

Inter-operability

John requested that the working group discuss setting up an inter-operability suite to augment the InterOperability Registry. Jarek noted that identifying tool switches that create or address interoperability problems will be necessary.

Jarek discussed his progress in identifying concensus for padding in the data_block, and for case sensitivity in the pragma syntax.

License Management

Key Management

Rights Management

Dave G asked about the relationship between the white-paper pages and the Recommendations page in the TWiki. Steven indicated that the Recommendations were intended to be the specific normative text that is critical for the standard, while the white-paper pages would provide rationale and background needed for technical editting.

Dave G indicated that Parminder is closing on the Recommendations text and would be ready for considering working group approval in a future meeting. There are still a few issues on items such as digest calculation etc. Steven asked the working group to focus reviewing for issues that could create future interoperability concerns. We have an opportunity to fix those before we go to ballot, and that would be preferable to finding them after our standard is published.
