Minutes

Attendance/Quorum

We have 4/6 eligible entities, and have a working quorum.

Patent Policy

The Patent slides were offered for review.

No new claims were disclosed at the call for essential patent claims.

Agenda Approval

Motion by Jarek, seconded by Premduth. Motion is approved.

Previous Minutes

Dave G moved and Jarek seconded the approval of the April 30, 2011 minutes. The motion was approved.

Action Item Review

Steven reviewed the open action items.

Liaison Reports

Joe announced that he has received the counter-signed contract for Technical Editing services. The group welcomes Joe as our Technical Editor.

Jarek reported no encryption activity in P1076 in the past two weeks.

Steven reported that P1800 is in ballot comment review.

Steven reported on the status discussions at DASC. There are procedural concerns with IEEE ownership of a reference implementation and these need working group consideration and approval before we accept more detailed specs for the covered technologies.

Inter-operability

No activity to report.

License Management

No activity to report.

Key Management

No activity to report.

Rights Management

Parminder reviewed the proposed changes to the Control Block recommendations. John objected to considering the version pragma value as a floating number where the fractional part was ignored. The working group has no evidence that floating point numbers have been used in this context, and plan to clarify that version pragma values are positive integers. The corrections to deal with this will be prepared and verified for approval at the next meeting.

Common Rights and Visibility

No activity to report.
