Review of Action Items 14. Meeting Schedule 14.1 Authorization of Working Group Meetings 15. Adjournment Results of Meeting 1. Opening Remarks John Lohmeyer, the T10 Chair, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m., Thursday May 5, 2005. He thanked LSI Logic for hosting the meeting. John said that INCITS subgroup membership forms and the T10 document subscription forms are available on the meeting web site. He said that people should use these forms to ensure the INCITS Secretariat has the latest membership information. These forms should be mailed directly to the INCITS Secretariat. As is customary, the people attending introduced themselves. Attendance was taken electronically via the meeting web site. 2. Approval of Agenda No additions/changes were made to the draft agenda. George Penokie moved and Ralph Weber seconded that the agenda be approved. In the absence of any objections, the motion passed unanimously. The following items were added/revised during the course of the meeting: 10.6 Apply ASC SCSI TO HOST SYSTEM INTERFACE FAILURE to Disks and Tapes 3. Attendance and Membership The membership requirements were reviewed. INCITS rules permit one vote per organization. An individual from a new organization must attend two out of three consecutive plenary meetings. He/she may apply for voting membership the second meeting via a letter to the Chair of T10. The individual may begin voting at the beginning of his/her second meeting. To maintain membership, organizations must pay the INCITS Service Fee ($800). John briefly discussed the mailing fees. Complete pricing information is contained in the 2005 membership form (available at http://www.t10.org/ftp/t10/mem_form.txt). There are also minimum attendance requirements to maintain voting membership on T10. If a member organization fails to attend two of the last three T10 meetings, they are warned that failing to attend the next T10 meeting would result in their membership being terminated. The Chair said he had sent emails to 8 people from 5 organizations informing them that their membership was in jeopardy due to non-attendance (see 05-189r0) and that their membership would be terminated if they did not attend this meeting. The following organizations were in attendance jeopardy: CNT Hitachi Cable Manchester Pivot3, Inc. QLogic Corp. Storage Technology Corp. John Lohmeyer noted that CNT is now McDATA. All the other organizations in attendance jeopardy were present so no additional organizations were changed to Advisory (non-voting) status. M-Systems joined T10 with Avraham Shimor as the Principal member and Ariel Sobelman as the Alternate member. The T10 membership during the meeting was 46 organizations, up from the 45 member organizations extant at the time the meeting was convened. Enclosure (1) is the list of the people present at the meeting and enclosure (2) is the current T10 membership list. John Lohmeyer reminded members that failure to vote on two out of the last three letter ballots also would result in membership jeopardy. The current letter ballot jeopardy status is as shown: T10 Letter Ballot Jeopardy Report -- 2005/04/29 Ballot: 05-134r0 Report: 05-135r0 Acronym: SPC-3 SAS-1.1 FCP-3 Organization --------------------------------- ------------ ------------ ------------ Agilent Technologies DNV Yes Yes Crossroads Systems, Inc. (*) Yes DNV DNV QLogic Corp. DNV Yes Yes Key: Yes Organization voted Yes No Organization voted No Abs Organization voted Abstain DNV Organization failed to return letter ballot -- Organization was not a voting member for the letter ballot (*) Organization is in letter ballot jeopardy (and has voluntarily changed to Advisory status) 4. Approval of Minutes - May 2005 - Oklahoma City, OK (T10/05-165r1) George Penokie moved and Ralph Weber seconded that the minutes be approved. In the absence of any objections, the motion passed unanimously. 5. Document Distribution Members who have any problems with their mailing subscription should deal directly with Parthenia Purnell (ppurnell@itic.org) (202) 626-5741. A subscription form is included on the meeting disk. John Lohmeyer requested that all documents for the next mailing be uploaded to the T10 web site by 10:30 a.m. on Thursday July 21, 2005. Documents received after this time may go into a subsequent mailing. John reminded the committee of the requirements for document submission. Since T10 meets its document retention requirements by preparing mailings, documents included in the mailing must be suitable for archiving. This means that native-format and/or Portable Document Format (PDF) electronic originals with proper identification must be submitted. People can obtain T10 document numbers and revised T10 document numbers by filling out a web form at http://www.t10.org/members/. The assigned T10 document number will be sent to the requestor by e-mail. The requestor may then reply to this email, including the document to be posted as an attachment. The document will be automatically posted on the T10 web site. T10 members can complete this entire process using their personal T10 password. John explained that members who do not know their password should surf to the above URL and click on the "forgot password" link to have their password sent to them via e-mail. John noted that non-members can also use the above document number process, but their requests will require approval by an administrator. Minutes are available on the T10 World Wide Web page (see below), and are distributed to the T10 Reflector. To be added to the T10 Reflector, send an e-mail to majordomo@t10.org with the line 'subscribe t10' in the message body. The INCITS Secretariat maintains a World Wide Web page at: http://www.incits.org/. LSI Logic maintains a web site on behalf of T10 on a server donated by the SCSI Trade Association at: http://www.t10.org/ There is also a mirror site at: http://www.t11.org/t10/ The T10 document register is available at: ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/dr.txt 6. Call for Patents John Lohmeyer explained that this is a regular agenda item to identify any potential patent issues with developing standards and technical reports. For additional information on ANSI procedures and the ANSI patent policy, please see the INCITS web page at http://www.incits.org/call.htm. The contact for INCITS patent issues is Lynn Barra (lbarra at itic dot org) or (202) 626-5739. Gene Milligan prepared a useful "Handy dandy Technical Committee's Patents Guide", which is available at ftp://ftp.t10.org/t10/document.99/99-291r0.pdf. John Lohmeyer presented a summary of the ANSI patent policy prepared by Gary Robinson. The summary is also included on the Rules and Procedures (plus Patent Information) page on the T10 web site. Bob Sheffield reminded the committee that a statement of the Intel patent policy can be found in T10/01-041r0. John asked that anyone who knows of other applicable patents to contact him. There were no other responses to the call for patents other than those mentioned above. 7.

John Lohmeyer moved that T10 approve the March and May 2006 meeting locations and hosts. Mark Overby seconded the motion. In the absence of any objections, the motion passed unanimously. 14.1 Authorization of Working Group Meetings John noted that the working group meetings are required to operate under the same voting procedures as does T10 (that is, one vote per organization) and the results of a working group are not binding on the parent committee. Ad hoc groups should strive to achieve consensus prior to bringing issues to T10. Curtis Stevens moved that T10 authorize the T10-related meetings and events in the list above that had not previously been approved through the end of August 2005. Erich Oetting seconded the motion. In the absence of any objections, the motion passed unanimously. 15. Adjournment John Lohmeyer moved and Ralph Weber seconded that the meeting be adjourned. In the absence of any objections, the motion passed unanimously. The meeting was adjourned at 10:25 a.m. on Thursday July 14, 2005.
