4.1 SAT-2: Work Items and Open Issues List (08-023r1) [Overby]
Mark Overby reviewed the latest work items and open issues list (08-023r1). The group requested changes and Mark agreed to post revision 2.
The cut-off date for new proposals is March 2008. The target data for starting letter ballot is following the July 2008 meeting.
4.2 SAT-2 On disk data format (07-242r0) [Elliott]
Jeff Wolford asked that this agenda item be deferred to the next meeting.
4.3 SAT-2:Translation of zero-length security protocol commands (07-325r1) [Overby]
Mark Overby presented 07-325r1, SAT-2:Translation of zero-length security protocol commands. The group discussed the proposal, noting that T13 had created a whole new command to solve the problem. Mark agreed to revise the proposal to deal with a new Send/Receive bit being added to the ACS TRUSTED NON-DATA command.
Mark Overby moved and Ralph Weber seconded that 07-325r2, r1 as revised, be recommended for inclusion into SAT-2. In absence of objections, the motion passed unanimously.
4.4 SAT-2 Additional power management methods (07-485r2) [Knight]
Fred Knight presented 07-485r2, SAT-2 Additional power management methods, which he had not yet posted. Fred noted that he has received a great deal of input regarding this proposal.
During the SBC-2 letter ballot comment resolution, T10 had accepted a comment (see 04-274r2 comment on page 65, sequence number 24) that removed wording prohibiting the device server from automatically upgrading the power condition upon receipt of a command requiring a higher power condition. As a side-effect of accepting this comment, we should have removed a statement in clause 5.19, START STOP UNIT command, saying "b) the logical unit shall change power conditions only after receipt of another START STOP UNIT command or a logical unit reset;" describing the POWER CONDITION field. Fred said he would bring this issue up regarding SBC-3.
The group discussed the proposal and offered numerous other suggestions. Fred agreed to incorporate these suggestions and to post revision 2. He then intends to prepare revision 3 for consideration at the March meeting.
