Call to order:
==============
The meeting was called to order at 8:02am PST.

Attendance was recorded via roll call.

The IEEE patent policy was 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 (Oct 29) were approved.

Old Action Items:
=================
No change in old action items.

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