Monday, 26 April, 1999 5:30 PM
The SCC20 Steering Committee meeting was called to order by Arnold Greenspan, Chair of
SCC20.
1.1 The meeting agenda was approved unanimously, and is provided in Attachment 2 to these
minutes.
1.2 Meeting minutes for 98-2 were approved unanimously without amendment.
1.3 Chair’s Report
1.3.1 We received notice from IEEE that 716, 1446, 1226.9, 1226.10 will be withdrawn.
There is a plan for reaffirmation of 716-1995. A motion may be made Thursday to withdraw the
PAR for 1446.
1.3.2 The SCC20 Chair asked for Steering Committee guidance after receiving a recent
nomination for the Chair’s Award for Exceptional Volunteerism. This nominee is not a member of
SCC20 and does not attend SCC20 meetings. Consensus in the Steering Committee was that
award recipients should be SCC20 members. Since the award is giving at the discretion of the
Chair, it was felt that the SCC20 Chair should, at a minimum, be familiar with the recipient.
1.3.3 There is expected to be a request, with PAR, to the SCC20 Chair, asking for SCC20
sponsorship for VXI interface standardization efforts. The request is expected to come with the
resources to support the standardization effort.
1.3.4 Chair’s comments at Monday Plenary are included in these minutes as Attachment 5.
1.3.5 The Chair expects to form two task groups, one to evaluate possible TPS and Diagnostics
standards and another task group to develop a more descriptive name for the ATLAS 2000 effort.
