Joe and Dave G reported on offline discussions over how the licensing and rights management clauses relate to each other, and whether combination should be considered in whole or in part.

The group also discussed the idea of a possible future "decryption" right, and how that might appear within the current draft. The evolving consensus seems to center on using the Trust Model clause to clarify the risks that flow from providing a key block for a given tool. Jeff suggested that closing on the trust and certificate security action item would be useful in this context. Steven agreed to provide the draft trust model clause to seed that presentation.
