LaPlant said he elected not to send out the letter ballots [per the last plenary] because he did not have the finalized draft documents to attach to them. Procedurally, V2 should not have voted without having all the materials on which the ballot is based.
Zimmermann described the working groups of SC35, the principal players and their projects. He provided a link to the SC35 members web site and any V2 members wishing to visit the site should contact Zimmermann for the ID and password to use.
Zimmermann spoke about the role of V2 regarding SC35 and about his duties as the international representative for V2. To manage action items related to SC35 he created an international tickler < http://www.itl.nist.gov/twiki/bin/view/NCITSV2/InternationalTickler > on Twiki. The IR report is the current international tickler page on Twiki, captured for the plenary.

Without objection the motion passed with unanimous consent.

MOTION (Zimmermann) that the V2 officers seek guidance from the INCITS leadership regarding V2's vote on PDTR 19764 and PDTR 15440. In the absence of guidance from INCITS, V2 abstains from the letter ballots. In addition, V2 will suggest to drop the second paragraph of section 10 which is referencing the Universal Remote Console standard. Also, V2 will provide a more detailed explanation to SC35 distinguishing the use cases of URC vs. keyboard pluggability.
