Agreements:
1. Phase-1 exit should not occur if officers have not yet been elected =
for a
working group or project.
2. We need to add language related to fair and unencumbered licensing o=

Intellectual Property.
3. We need to establish policy related to voting rights. Policy will re=
main one
vote per company or organization but will also be based on active parti=
cipation
and attendance. Rules for determining active participation are modeled =
after
(but not exactly) the April '98 minutes of P1394.
--------------------------------
* An individual must be present at a meeting or
participate via teleconference to vote.
* Votes are counted on a company basis.
* Eligibility to vote is determined by attending two of the previous
four meetings.
* With a simple majority vote, the group may confer voting
rights to an individual that is not otherwise eligible to vote. This
will be done on a "case-by-case" basis, and is intended to address
those individuals that have made significant contributions to the
group -- but have not attended the required amount of meetings.
* Simple majority votes are sufficient for approving
procedural and other minor issues.
4.It is the responsibility of the Secretary to maintain the list of eli=
gible
voters and post this in the meeting minutes.
5. When voting NO, indicate WHY you voted NO and provide an alternative=
or
indicate what sort of change would remove your objection.
6. When a project requests a PWG charter, there must be an expiration d=
ate.
Extensions may be granted at the discretion of the Steering Committee b=
ased on
perception of devotion and progress.
7. Section 6.2 (Formal Approval). Change 85% to 80%. Also, the appeal p=
rocess

man.
8. Diagram - Implement and Ship blocks should both cross over an into P=
hases 4
and 5.
The PWG is not edicting when a company should ship a product.
Issues:
1. Does the PWG need a unique "Organization ID" - like from ISO?
2. The P1394 minutes also discuss the notion of a quorum. Should we ado=
pt this?
----------------
* Two-thirds majority votes are required for "major
technical issues" -- as determined by the chairman prior to the
discussion on the vote.
* A quorum is defined by having at least 50% of the
eligible voters or 10 eligible voters present -- whichever is less.
* The chairman will declare quorum conditions have been
met at the beginning of the meeting. The quorum remains in effect for
the duration of the meeting -- regardless of whether any of the
eligible voters leave early.
