DJ,
Small query, since I
would have expected to see such summary from Jeff, as the ad hoc chair, rather
than you.
Was the harmonization an
open process through the reflector or a private harmonization between
companies?
I think that it is
important, since the output of the security ad hoc must reflect a consensus (or
majority decision) in which everybody had the chance to provide an opinion.
If the harmonization was
not reached through the ad hoc but rather as a private (and legitimate)
agreement between companies (for example in a private interim meeting) you
should reflect it as such (although than I really don't understand why we had
ad hoc at all).
Itzik.

120 contributions to 16e for Session#33
A number
of the contributions into the security adhoc have been pre-harmonized. I
suggest that the security adhoc meet sufficiently early in the week so we can
sift the inputs and if we can agree, approve a batch of submissions as the
output of the adhoc. This should streamline the security work.
I am
preparing summary slides showing how the various security proposals
interrelate. It seems that these might fulfil the purpose that Phil is
proposing.

Phil's
proposal makes eminent sense to me. I agree, there is no way we will get
through 120 contributions in Portland without giving each one very short
shrift. I strongly urge consolidation, where possible.

contributions to 16e for Session#33
Something like 120 contributions
have been uploaded to 16e for consideration at Sessions#33. We have only
through July 2nd to provide reply commentary on these contributions, plus
all other comments to the D3 draft. I think we need to organize
immediately, or there is no way that we are going to get this done and be ready
to make it through this volume of contributions at Portland.
The nightmare scenario is having to
wade through all of these individual contribution presentations, discussion,
potential modification, at the meeting itself. Based on this volume, we
will have no choice but to bull our way through, omit discussion and potential
modification, and just vote. Because of the volume of material it is
likely that members will not have adequately reviewed all material to make an
informed vote at that time without discussion, which will not be
possible. So good contributions will be voted down because of the volume
of work.
In order to avoid that outcome, I
think we need to organize material into common topicality that volunteers can
address both through the list and in reply commentary. This will give
contributors the benefit of some focused evaluation and provide members relief
from having to review all contributions. To facilitate establishing
topical focus, I would encourage contributors to provide a one or two paragraph
overview/summary of their contribution to the list.
Any thoughts on this proposal?
Thanks,
Phillip Barber
