1.         AAMVA

I object to the contribution due to references to patented technologies in the last paragraph at the bottom of page 5. The status of the patents are unclear in this document (whether licenses will be granted free of charge or at reasonable cost, etc.). See the attached ISO patent policy. I would change my objection to an approval if the reference to the patents. I don't understand how they add any value to the contribution. Otherwise, the patent issue should be worked out by the M1 committee in conformance with current ISO patent policies.

2.         Datacard Group
Section 4, paragraph 2 references specific patented methodologies.  What is the intellectual property status of these patents?   Are they in the public domain or available for license?

 

3.         International Biometric Group
May be I am latecomer to this sub-group, I don’t see a clear scope of this document.  The current template protection,  and usage document seems more applicable as an issue of application / security and policy where the current document haven’t address those closely.

 

This document is a nice reference of how template could associate with user data and adding data protection with different scenario.

 

I understand this is a draft document and not totally agree/understand the scope of the document, I choice to abstain

 

4.         Mitretek

Mitretek is unsure of the purpose of this document.

 

5.         Department of State

It is not clear that templates should require protection that is separate and distinct from other data to which they are associated.
