Response from rapidIO:
I do not know how to respond to the comment from Panasonic.
The project proposal complies with the RD2 Section 5.9. It falls within
the Scope of INCITS and T11 has voted to support the project.
The issue of finances for a Fast Track process are beyond my ability as
a project proposer to answer. This is the purview of INCITS EB.
The latest INCITS approved version of the MoU have been signed by the
appropriate parties.

5.9 INCITS Fast Track Process
As an Accredited Standards
Committee, INCITS provides procedures to review for approval as an
American National Standard, standards within its scope developed and
approved by an organization not accredited by ANSI for processing them
directly.
An organization that has developed a candidate standard may request
INCITS processing of that candidate standard. When such initiative is
being considered within INCITS (the subject of a project proposal) or a
preliminary inquiry is made by the sponsor, a proposal describing the
candidate standard, its purpose, and scope is sent to the INCITS
Secretariat for distribution to the Executive Board.
The INCITS Secretariat issues a call for comments on the proposal and
INCITS members are asked to assess the proposal with respect to the
following criteria:
- Is the proposed
standard within the scope of INCITS?
- If there is a TC with
responsibility for scope of this work, does the TC have objections to
continued processing?
If no objections are raised during
this review, the developer will then be invited to submit the
following:
- Candidate standard.
- Memorandum of understanding, that may
be negotiated by the INCITS Secretariat on behalf of INCITS, detailing:
agreement to respond and participate in accordance with Milestone 5 (Section
5.1.5); agreement regarding availability and distribution of copies for
public review and balloting; agreement for maintenance responsibility
in accordance with ANSI procedures; agreement that interpretations
shall be accomplished in accordance with INCITS procedures and
agreement that participation in further processing of the document be
open to all directly and materially affected interests .
- Any other documentation the developer
feels is relevant.
If objections are raised, the
INCITS Secretariat will distribute those objections to the Executive
Board and the proposer. The organization submitting the candidate
standard will be required to respond to the objections raised in
addition to the other documentation specified above. The entire package
will be submitted to the Executive Board for approval.
Upon receipt, the Executive Board votes, in accordance with Section 4.4, to
accept the proposal and initiate a public review. Upon approval, the
INCITS Secretariat shall assign a liaison project number, and
processing commences at Milestone 5
(Section 5.1.5), with the developer fulfilling the obligations of a TC.
The INCITS Secretariat will explicitly notify the TC chairs and
encourage them to notify their committee of the candidate standard's
public review period. The Secretariat's notification will include the
results of the Executive Board vote and comments received during the
Executive Board vote.
