Meeting Minutes

• 1. Call to order and introductions. [9:33 AM PST]

In attendence:

• Steven Haflich [Franz]
• Martin Simmons [Xanalys]
• John Mallery [MIT]
• David Smith [MITRE]
• Mark Stickel [SRI]
• Shannon Spires [Sandia]
• Richard Billington [CommerceOne (initial meeting -- nonvoting)]
• Chuck Fry [QSS Group (initial meeting -- nonvoting)]

Five voting members were present at the quorum call and therefore the quorum (four) was satisfied. An additional voting member arrived around [10:08]. There some an initial informal discussion mostly about the chat medium and the possibility of combining chat with phone conference.

• 2. Appointment of a Secretary Pro Tem for the current meeting.

  This was skipped, as the chat forum preserves a verbatim transcript from which the minutes can be extracted.

• 3. Approval of draft agenda.

At [10:29] it was moved [Fry] and seconded [Stickel] to accept the draft agenda. Passed unanimously 6-0.

• 4. Approval of draft minutes from the 14 Oct, 1999 meeting. See: http://www.franz.com/~smh/J13/99-010.txt

At [10:56] the vote was called. Passed unanimously 6-0.

Discussion of the next two issues preceded simultaneously, as the issues are interrelated.

• 5. Consideration of the J13 International Representative vacancy.

  The IR position remains vacant after two calls for volunteers. One member has contacted the chair privately and is considering volunteering, in which case NCITS would probably make a third call. That failing, there are other possibilities how we could fill the position, which is a requirement if J13 is to stay out of Maintenance Status.

• 6. Consideration of J13 entering "Maintenance Status."

  Discussion.

• 7. Announcements and new business.

• 8. Consideration and scheduling of next meeting, etc.

There was a white ballot for a tentative Jan 30, 2001 meeting.
