Paul noted that the meeting did not have a quorum.
Peter was nominated for Vice Chair by Jim Heaton, seconded by John Willis.
The position is a backup for Paul.
1164 PAR needs to be renewed. John Willis will follow by with Wolfgang
Ecker. If Wolfgang is not in a position to handle the reaffirma and the
extension, John Willis and Peter Ashenden will co-chair the group.
Registration of WG members. IEEE has asked that all working group members
be identified, including contact information and affiliation. John Willis
asked Paul Menchini to clarify that the company affiliation was solely to
clearly identify individuals. Paul Menchini has the work item to forward
the email requesting the information.
Peter Ashenden proposed that the DATC chair or his designate be a voting
member of the DASC. John Willis seconded the motion. Motion passes 5
to 0 without abstentions.
John Hillawi and Bob Klenke were approved as ex-officio members. Paul
will check that John Hillawi, Bob Klenke and Alex Zamfirescu be added to
the SC reflector.
Alex Zamfirescu reported on the DATC meeting status. Alex agreed to come
back to DASC with an XML-related proposal for a study group. Bob Klenke
asked that the presentation be placed on the web.
There was a long discussion of why involvement in IEEE standardization
had greatly decreased. John Hillawi will solicit involvement from the
email reflectors. Gabe suggested that standardization be full-time and
that they have trial implementations. Paul will solicit an article from
Gabe. John Willis will come back to the group with concrete proposals
for a business case.
