2          P1800 technical committees and Champions operational update

Mantis issue 890 was discussed.  The svec unanimously passed mantis 890
in their conference call of April 5th.  The champions had one abstain
(Shalom), everyone else voted in favor of approval.  Shalom only had
time to do a partial review of 890. He found a couple of minor issues.
He also noticed that there was still some 890 email traffic on the
reflector. He noted that approved mantis items usually don't have this
many issues. It was pointed out in the champions meeting that the svec
would be addressing further changes to 890 by way of additional mantis
items. Cliff was waiting for the next version of the merged LRM in order
to file a new mantis item for the issues he noted.

 

A motion (Neil Korpusik, Dennis Brophy) was made to approve resolution
to Mantis item 890.  The motion passed unanimously.

 

Feedback on the merged document from the technical committees shows
approval by all groups with one dissention in one of the groups.  All
the committees have now given feedback.  The EC had one dissenter.  The
essence of the dissent was that the committee should not waste its time
on issues related to the merging of the documents by chasing syntax
issues when other issues from implementation and use exist.  The other
committees approved the path to a single LRM and the dissent is noted.

 

For the other issues that have come from further technical discussion,
Stu is waiting for the next merged LRM to enter them against that
version of the specification.

 

A motion (Dennis Brophy, Charles Dawson) was made to continue with the
merge document as the basis for standardization.  The motion passed
unanimously.
