---++++ Action Item Review
Steven reviewed the open action items.  Need a new owner for Identity & Trust Model discussion seed.

---++++ Liaison Reports
John reiterated 1076 progress, now unconditionally approved as IEEE Std1076-2008. There is still an open question whether the published document will be available for sale before the end of the year.   P1800 has been finalized for ballot and the ballot period is expected to start in a few weeks. The target for approval is by mid-2009.

---++++ License Management
There is some concern about the characterizations of static vs dynamc licensing. That discussion needs Dave Graubart's participation.  John asked whether Static and Dynamic license implementations are mutually exclusive, or if they could coexist. The consensus is that they should be able to coexist.

Another open issue is whether the current tool license verification spec is sufficient to ensure a valid license is available.  Do we require the tool to check at the appropriate process points and with the necessary frequency.

Karlton asked about the distinction between the models.  The conclusion was that static/internal licensing has practical portability problems with IP feature string availability from multiple tools.  The dynamic/external approach resolves that problem, though a re-design of the pragma syntax could allow one-of-N feature strings to solve the portability issue. John also reviewed the business model differences between the two approaches.

---++++ Key Management Issues
Nitin reported no substantive progress since the last meeting.

---++++ Other Business

Motion by Michael, second by John.  Approved by acclamation at 1:10 pm CDT
