Suggested changes to OSD model in OSD-r01 (00-262r0) [Hafner]
Jim Hafner presented the issues raised in 00-262r0. The group reviewed
the Dave Anderson responses (00-295r0) to Jim's issues.
Draft review
The group agreed to defer reviewing the draft to a future meeting. Gene
agreed to consider making a new revision of the draft based on
agreements between Jim and Dave.
Preliminary schedule
The group discussed how to define the schedule for the OSD project. It
was suggested that security be omitted from the project in order to have
a shorter schedule. Jim Hafner and Richard Golding discussed what should
be in this project. Richard agreed to provide a list later on the
reflector.
New Business
No new business was brought before the group.
Liaison Reports
SNIA
Gene had no new liaison report information from SNIA.
Call for Patents
This is a regular agenda item to identify any potential patent issues
with developing standards and technical reports.
A document is available from ANSI, "Procedures for the Development and
Coordination of American National Standards", at no charge. This
document is also on the WWW at http://www.ncits.org/help/ansi_sdo.html.
Section1.2.11 contains the ANSI patent policy. Amy Marasco manages
patent issues for ANSI and can be contacted at amarasco at ansi.org or
212-642-4954. Gene Milligan has prepared a useful "Handy dandy Technical
Committee's Patents Guide", which is available at
ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/document.99/99-291r0.pdf.
Gene Milligan asked if anyone, who knows of patents required to comply
with the requirements of the OSD draft make them known to T10 and if
their organization is the owner, offer to license them in accordance
with the ANSI patent policy. There were no responses to the call.
