Dave G moved and John seconded receiving the minutes of the May 20, 2013 (Draft Devel Committee) and June 3, 2013 (Draft Devel Committee) minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

Steven reported on the recent DASC meeting.

John, Jarek, and Dave G reported on the outreach BoF at DAC.

Inter-operability

The working group discussed interoperability concerns and market penetration in Europe.

License Management

Dave G has been expanding the scope of internal review in an effort to refine the draft contribution. The updates in progress are reasonably extensive though not technically different in intention.

Key Management

No update.

Rights Management

Dave G reported additional internal review, though the pending changes were less extensive than the licensing work.

John noted that his review for the DAC presentation identified the Rights condition expression syntax needed significant work to address ambiguities with respect to the language bindings and interoperability problems. Dave G agreed that a more rigorous syntax and semantics are required, and indicated that there is an evolving bias towards simpler and distinct rights as opposed to complex semantics in a single right.

Common Rights and Visibility

John plans to separate the introductory material to be refactored together with Rights Management so there is a coherent introduction that follows the document order. He has some planned work to address both Common Rights and Visibility, but expects that the informative annex is largely complete.

Work Plan

John suggested that we need to revise the work plan with new dates that reflect the reality of when we can complete our work. Steven requested that each of the clause owners provide a schedule plan for their work by Friday, so a summary can be distributed in preparation for the next Draft Development Committee.

John asked for clarification on our funding status w/ Joe, and what that means for document management support. Steven responded that we are now on a milestone basis with Joe, and that expecting the support we previously got while he was on monthly retainer would be unfair. John suggested that the working group needs a document owner to manage the detailed actions required to meet the Technical Editing milestones. The Draft Development Committee will consider that during the next Monday meeting.

Liaison Review Comments

High-level objectives:

• Complete all approval activity in 2013 before PAR expires (2013)
• Secure pre-ballot feedback from other DASC working groups

Project Plan:

• Distribute D3 draft for liaison review in mid-February
  • Revised content for D3 must be submitted to Joe by 11-Feb-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • D3 to be distributed to liaison groups by 20-Feb-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • Any material that is still unstable should be tagged with an inline note to the liaison reviewers [COMPLETED]
  • Noted material should be revised for mid-review update as D3a by 25-Feb-2013 (delivery to Joe) [COMPLETED]
  • Any updated D3a clauses will be supplied to liaison reviewers by 01-Mar-2013 [COMPLETED]
  • Liaison review period to close by 12-Apr-2013

• Incorporate review comments into D4 draft for working group review
  • Changes for D4 must be submitted by 15-Apr-2013 (delivery to Joe)
  • Working group review closes 29-Apr-2013 with a decision to approve D4 as the ballot draft or revise further as D5.
  • MEC review requires 30 days and must be completed prior to ballot, initial target is 21-May-2013

• Balloting and review
  • This schedule needs to be updated, pending the depth of the liaison review comments
  • If D4 is approved as ballot draft, and ballot period starts 01-Jul-2013, we should be able to make the December REVCOM agenda
  • Ballot group formation to close before 21-Jun-2013 in preparation for possible D4 ballot.
  • Assumptions:
    • Submission deadline for December REVCOM is 21-Oct-2013
    • Need approval of D4 as ballot draft and no substantive ballot comments that require recirc
    • 30-day ballot period requires a minimum of 45 days from working group approval of ballot draft
    • 10-day recirc period requires a minimum of 15 days from ballot comment disposition
    • Ballot comment dispositioning and incorporating draft updates accepted by the working group will add to the timeline
    • Current technical editing statement of work (contract and budget) will still be valid if D5 is completed and approved for ballot in May.
    • Failure to complete balloting/recirc by September will risk missing the December REVCOM agenda and force another PAR extension.
