Fellow MB members,
The Management Board will be meeting on Monday, August 11, at 1:30 pm EDT, in the Sheraton Yankee
Clipper Hotel, Ft. Lauderdale. This is a revised draft agenda, updated from my previous version dated
July 16. Thanks to everyone who sent in comments on the July 16 version of this agenda.
As of July 22, Paul, Kathy, Jim, Claire, Ted, Bob, and I are planning to attend. Scott, Norm, and
Catherine Berger send their regrets.
This should be pretty close to a final agenda:
1:30
Standards projects currently underway - specific issues (see current status in the Excel file below)
- 982.1 (Balloting is going well: as of July 22, 17 approve, 3 negative, 4 abstain)

- 1058 (Initial reaction to Thayer's current draft) [Kathy]
- 1061 (Pete Baxter has agreed to handle the recirculation of negative ballots) [Norm]
- 1062 (SESC to provide guidance to Joe Jarzombek whether to start this up soon, or wait until
IEEE adopts the revised 15288; Norm suggests that Joe prepare a PAR now for 1062) [Norm]

[Bob]
- 2001 (Is this being fast-tracked to SC7?) [Jim]
- 12207 set (Where do we stand on the joint IEEE/EIA revision effort? [Paul]

September 11 Standards Board meeting) [Ted/Scott]

Review of work allocation within the MB
We need to verify that the current work allocation is equitable. (Scott, Jim, and Norm, you won't
be at the face-to-face, so if you have any feedback for me, please send it to me before the meeting.)
For reference, this is the current allocation according to my records, including number of projects:
Ted Byrne: 1016 (active), 1320.1, .2 (both to be reaffirmed), 1362 (on hold pending 830/1233
merge) (4 projects)
Paul Croll: 12207.0, .1, .2 (contacting EIA to initiate joint revision); also chair of 1219
(starting up) (4)
Scott Duncan: 828 (active), 1012 (active) 1175.2-5 (6)
Kathy Land: 610.12 (SC7 now has the lead), 1058 (on hold), 1490 (very active), 1644
(starting up), 14143 (startup in 2004) (5)
Claire Lohr: 1045 (active), 1220 (active), 1471 (startup in 2004); also chair of 829 (4)
Jim Moore: 2001 (to be fasttracked to SC7), 16085 (coordinated revision with SC7) (2)
Norm Schneidewind: 1062 (starting up), 1233 (to be merged with 830 and eventually 1362;
need a WG chair); also chair of 982.1, 1061 (reaffirmation), and 1633 (AIAA R-013) (5)
Dave Schultz: 830 (to be merged with 1233 and eventually 1362; need a WG chair), 1074
(active), 1219 (at the starting gate; joint development with SC7), 1462 (waiting on ISO/IEC),
1465 (waiting on ISO/IEC) (5)
Bob Shillato: 829 (active), 982.1 (active), 1044 (on hold pending a willing chair), 1517 (to be
reaffirmed) (4)
4:00
Brainstorming discussion: "Is the MB going in the right direction?"
All of the "top five" items submitted were directed more toward SESC itself than the MB, and have
been moved to the ExCom agenda, item #9. We'll review the scope and function of the MB itself and see
if we can identify any relevant issues.
