---++++ Agenda Approval

Motion by Dave G, seconded by Jarek. Motion is approved.

---++++ Previous Minutes
Jarek moved and Dave G seconded the approval of the [[P1735Minutes2012Mar5][March 5, 2011]] minutes. The motion was approved.

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

---++++ Liaison Reports
Steven is working w/ IEEE SA Professional Services on Technical Editor contracts. Joe Daniels indicated that he hasn't heard from IEEE and will be waiting for further guidance from them before starting work on P1735.

VHDL WG has been briefed on interoperability changes that need to be added. 

---++++ Inter-operability
Jarek has no further additions to his previously reported issues.  John noted that his review of the issues did not raise any concerns.   Jarek is engaged in further bi-lateral testing.  John, Dave G, and Steven also acknowledged participation in bi-lateral testing engagements.

The group discussed updating entries on the Interoperability Registry.

---++++ License Management
Dave G reported on internal progress and expects to have a proposal for consideration in the next 2-4 weeks.

---++++ Key Management
Dave G discussed the Key Scope text he added to the Key Management white paper and the Recommendations.  Steven stated that an approval vote would be called at the next meeting for the Key Scope recommendations.

---++++ Rights Management
Dave asked for working group approval for the Rights Management.  John noted that big picture structure held promise, but that there were some details that he was concerned about.  As an example, he sees the Common Rights Block as adding no value to the standard because there is no common rights profile.  Dave G noted that the common rights development had been separated in the interest of progress.  John agreed but expressed the concern that without at least some common rights subset, the value of including a control structure is diluted.  The wasn't an objection to moving forward with approving the Control Block structure while continuing to work on the common rights definition.

The details on the version pragma and encryption-version will be clarified in the Recommendations page and Steven will call for approval at the next meeting.
