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.

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.

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
