Call to order:
==============

The meeting was called to order at 8:05am PST.

Attendance was recorded via roll call.

The IEEE patent policy slides were presented.  The working group was  
advised that the IEEE's Patent Policy is consistent with the ANSI  
patent policy; that early disclosure of patents which may be essential  
for the use of standards under development is encouraged; that such  
disclosures may not be exhaustive; and that the IEEE, the working  
group, and the working group chair cannot ensure the accuracy or  
completeness of any disclosure.  An opportunity was provided for the  
working group members to disclose patents that might be essential for  
use of PSL.  No patents were disclosed.

The agenda was approved.

The minutes of the last meeting were approved.

Old Business:
=============

All subcommittee work for this version of IEEE-1850 is now complete.   
Last LRM subcommittee meeting was held on March 21.

New Business:
=============

The WG was informed that a slight modification to our P&P, requested by  
IEEE, will occur in the next few weeks related to clause 4.  When the  
final P&P is available, it will be placed on the website for review.

The WG was also informed that we plan to have a call-up vote during our  
April 12-th meeting approving that we move the draft standard to IEEE  
Standards Sponsor for balloting.

A final version of the LRM will be created and placed on the web-site  
(including the IEEE tech-editing review comments) by April 3-rd.

Next Meeting:

During our next meeting, on April 4-th, Noelle Humenick from IEEE  
services we discuss the details of the IEEE balloting process, and take  
questions.
