Liaison Reports

PAR extension should be on the December NESCOM agenda.

Inter-operability

Ray confirmed that clause 5 is complete for D4.

License Management

Minor edits based on John's feedback is in progress. John asked about whether proxy connections with different attribute sets could be shared. Dave G agreed to review internally for clarification, and to validate in their reference implementation.

Dave G described his expected resolution to the external rights mechanism. John suggested adding a license_string function that duplicated license but returned a string object rather than boolean status.

Key Management

Steven confirmed that clause 6 is complete for D4.

Rights Management

Dave G noted a pending issue for the pragma structure review, suggesting rules for where the common rights block should be located with respect to the key_blocks for a given envelope.

Common Rights and Visibility

John confirmed that clauses 9 and 10 are complete for D4.

Work Plan

Dave C asked about remaining work for D4. Steven noted changes required to clauses 1-3 and Appendix A, and Dave highlighted the work for clauses 7 and 8.

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
  • (Needs timeline review by Technical Editor)
  • Changes for D4 must be submitted by 09-Sep-2013 (delivery to Joe)
  • Working group review closes 30-Sep-2013 with a decision to approve D4 as the MEC review draft or revise further as D5.
  • MEC review requires 30 days and must be completed prior to ballot, initial target is 01-Oct-2013

• Balloting and review (Needs review by Technical Editor)
  • (Needs timeline review by Technical Editor)
  • Review comments (MEC and WG) need to be processed and relevant changes provided to Joe by 11-Nov-2013.
  • If D5 is approved as ballot draft by 25-Nov-2013, the ballot period starts 01-Dec-2013, we should be able to make the December REVCOM agenda
  • Ballot group formation to close before 30-Oct-2013 in preparation for possible D5 ballot.
  • Assumptions:
    • PAR extension will be approved
    • Need approval of D5 as ballot draft by 25-Nov-2013
    • 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.
    • Additional unbudgeted editing work in 2014 would likely required an additional assessment of $2000 per entity.
