Deadline for review is 6/18 not 6/16 and that is corrected above.

Reviewer comments:

Steve:

9.3.4 contains a question which may not the best style for the draft, but it may be OK since this is a set of recommendations rather than a tradional standard. John will review and possibly reword.

9.3.4 Missing capitalization. Joe to address.

9.5.5 Some ambiguity with "viewport" pragma, whether the term means specific pragma or either of the two viewport pragmas. John to address.

Some inconsistent typography and question about font for terms from this vs. other standards. Also question about the importance of perfect typography vs. other work. Steve will make recommendations.

Annex B - question on purpose and if objectives were achieved. Objectives were to state all that would be needed in other standards and it clearly doesn't include all. Recommend is move content to clause 5 and remove this annex. We need to make sure everything currently in the annex moves to a good location if not already covered elsewhere, and confirm that there is no remaining reference to this annex. Dave will talk to Ray and let him know Steve is willing to assist.

A few editorial items to be posted by Wednesday for Joe.

John:

3. Definition of digital envelope inappropriate as it doesn't match our use. John will propose better definition.

5.2 states we'll use "V1" and "V2" for the different versions but we haven't. John will make suggestions on identifying applicable versions for the table of contents and other locations in the draft to distinuish between V1 and V2 topics. Steve will make recommendations for clause 5 description of the versions.

Dave:

Page 29: Can we omit the pink sentence, assuming for now that each tool vendor manages their own public key? John suggests either that or state the associated key management strategy is discussed in clause 6. We settled on removing the sentence. Joe to do this.

Page 29: Should we say all tools are standards compliant with respect to decryption pragmas (rather than encryption/decryption pragmas)? I see some variation in encryption pragmas which perhaps we’ll address in a later version. Tools are using different shortcuts in encryption envelopes and encryptors are not interoperable. Consensus was to leave this alone as all shortcuts expand to the same standard encryption envelope.

Page 86: for DECRYPTION INPUT: is it adequate to replace the pink with “5.2” (and then fix the grammar) as this is where supported version values are discussed? This is part of Annex B that we've decided is best to remove in its entirety.
