5. Actions from last meeting

1003.23 and 1003.18 to be provided - transfered from DB to US member
  body, done with the help of Jim Oblinger
1003.23 and 1003.18 text to be selected  - open
WD4 sent to email list - open
The editor will gather comments on WD4 - open
WD5 to be sent out for ballot in IEEE and SC22 - open.

6. Organization

DB says that we have not seen the IEEE chair since oct 1997.
We have had trouble getting IEEE meeting called.
We have only got two people attending. There are a number of
action items outstanding. Only one comment received (willem).

However we would like to pursue the project, given that there
is no guarantee that we will succeed.

There was a question whether we need an extention in IEEE.
IEEE requires that a project be completed at the latest 4 years
after acceptance of the PAR. There is also a requirement of
10 SA-members in the balloting group.

DB took an action item to find out if we have problems with
a IEEE time limit, and if we have a problem then remedy it.

The [email-masked] list will be asked if they would like to
join the IEEE ballot group.

IEEE will be asked to form a ballot group - DB.

WG15 will be asked to decide that the WD5 be forwarded to SC22
secretariat for PDTR registration ballot via the convener.
This will happen according to plan so that the registration ballot
in SC22 will be out before the SC22 plenary, so there is no need to
ask for an extension.

7. Walkthru of WD
KS had produced a draft that had not been distributed, and DB took 
on a thorough pass of edits and rephrasing. The editor will add
ISO copyright notice on even numbered pages and IEEE copyright notice
on odd numbered pages.

8. Plan
The WD4 produced at the meeting will be sent out 
on the [email-masked] list for comments for one month.
Comments will be addresed in WD5 by the editor and the 
resulting draft will be forwarded to IEEE and SC22 for ballot.

9. Next meeting
DB said that he would have trouble attending further physical meetings.
The next meeting will probably be at the February 2001 meeting of IEEE.
We may also conduct telephone conferences.

Meeting closed at 15:30
