Date: Fri, 13 Jul 2007 16:18:13 -0500 From: Ralph Weber <roweber@ieee.org> To: t10@t10.org Subject: Re: TrustedFlash Forum X-Message-Number: 7909 Formatted message: HTML-formatted message Dear Mr. Geddes, I find myself in the embarrassing position of having to correct your description of what T10 approved. T10 approved 07-295r1 (r0 as revised), and the specific revision to be made is the addition a web address for and description of the TrustedFlash Forum. As of this writing, 07-295r1 has not been posted to the T10 web site. May I recommend watching the T10 web site for its posting. Please forgive my impertinence for attempting to guess the next question in advance, but ... As SPC-4 editor, my policy is to not incorporate proposals until the approved revision has been posted to the T10 web site. All the best, .Ralph David Geddes wrote: > * From the T10 Reflector (t10@t10.org), posted by: > * "David Geddes" <dgeddes@marvell.com> > * > Brian, > > Proposal T10/07-295r0 assigns a new value, EDh, to the Security_Protocol > field in the SECURITY PROTOCOL IN command.
