Previous Minutes

Ray moved and Syed seconded the approval of the June 15, 2009 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

P1800 is still working on their ballot responses.

Inter-operability Testing

Steven reviewed the Tentative Recommendations list from the Interoperability working document. These recommendations were the result of basic IP exchange testing that Ryuchi and John sponsored, and address the blocking issues that result from different readings of IEEE1076-2008 and the current P1800 ballot draft.

The working group discussed the proposed version keyword and whether that would provide adequate support for future needs. Dave G noted rights management, crypto-system security, and trust issues as areas of concern.

John clarified that the tentative recommendations address the "Hello World" level of interoperability, and IP producers/consumers have been demanding this for some time. He indicated that these simple clarifications should be adopted as formal recommendations soon, preferably sometime in August 2009. That would leave time for adequate review by the working group before asking for approval.
