Results of Meeting
1. Opening Remarks
John Lohmeyer, the T10 Chair, called the meeting to order at 9:00 a.m.,
Thursday March 9, 2006. He thanked Chris Lyon of the SCSI Trade Association
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.
John Lohmeyer 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 or modified in the agenda during the course of
the meeting:
11.2.1 FCP-3 NWIP
11.2.2 Remove SSM from program of work
11.2.3 SAM-3 FCD
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. People who continue to
attend T10 meetings are expected to join T10 and to pay INCITS Service Fees.
To maintain membership, organizations must pay the INCITS Service Fee ($800
per year).
John briefly discussed the mailing fees. Complete pricing information is
contained in the 2006 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 3 people from 2 organizations informing
them that their membership was in jeopardy due to non-attendance (see
06-077r0) and that their membership would be terminated if they did not attend
this meeting. The following organizations were in attendance jeopardy:
Amphenol Interconnect
Pivot3, Inc.
All organizations in attendance jeopardy were present.
Had any organizations not been present, their representatives would have been
changed to Advisory (non-voting) status.
John noted that McDATA joined subsequent to the last meeting. They had met the
criteria for reinstatement at the last T10 meeting, but had not requested
reinstatement until February 22nd. Avago Technologies was terminated for
failure to pay the 2006 INCITS Service Fee.
John Lohmeyer called for requests to join the committee. Marvel Semiconductor
requested and was granted membership.
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 -- 2006/03/01
Ballot: 06-080r0
Report: 06-081r0
Acronym: SAS-1.1 FCP-3 SAT

(*) Organization is in letter ballot jeopardy
4. Approval of Minutes - January 2006 - Phoenix, AZ (T10/06-041r0)
John Lohmeyer moved and Ralph Weber seconded that the minutes be approved as
written. 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 March 16, 2006. 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:
http://www.t10.org/ftp/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.
Tim Symons noted that he had uploaded 06-149r0, "SAS patent disclosure by
PMC-Sierra relating to distributed topology discovery".
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. Review of Old Action Items
619 Bob Sheffield will prepare SAT r08. Complete.
620 John Lohmeyer will conduct a letter ballot on forwarding SAT r08 to
INCITS for first public review. Complete.

8. Project Status Reports
8.1 Project Status Summary and INCITS Liaison [Lohmeyer]
John Lohmeyer said that the current T10 project status summary was included on
the meeting web site and will be included in the mailing as usual.
Terry Nelson reported that work is continuing to review the Open Participation
policy statement. John Lohmeyer called for all organizations that are
attending regularly to make sure that they pay the INCITS Service Fees since,
in his opinion, the motivation to close TC meetings is largely due to revenue
concerns.
Gary Robinson reported on INCITS discussions for locating web sites. A
proposal to move the T10 web site to INCITS facilities was blocked, in part
due to Gary's efforts. Such a move would have eliminated features such as
taking meeting attendance.
8.1.1 INCITS Antitrust Guidelines
All T10 members should be aware of the INCITS antitrust guidelines available
at http://www.incits.org/inatrust.htm.
John reminded committee members that all persons present at a T10 meeting is
responsible for identifying potential violations of the antitrust guidelines
and reporting them to the chair. Discussions of the following topics are
considered sensitive:
* Any company's prices or pricing policies;
* Specific R&D, sales and marketing plans;
* Any company's confidential product, product development or production
strategies;
* Whether certain suppliers or customers will be served;
* Prices paid to input sources; or

[Purnell]
John Lohmeyer reviewed 06-084r0, which enumerates seven standards that are up
for five-year review. The standards are:
INCITS 232-1996 [R2001], SCSI-2 Common Access Method Transport and SCSI
Interface Module
INCITS 295-1996 [R2001], Serial Storage Architecture - Transport Layer-1
(SSA-TL1)
INCITS 269-1996 [R2001], SCSI-3 Fibre Channel Protocol (FCP)
INCITS 270-1996 [R2001], SCSI-3 Architecture Model (SAM)

John Lohmeyer asked people interested hosting one of the above meetings to
contact him.
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.
Bill Martin moved that T10 authorize the T10-related meetings and events in
the list above that had not previously been approved through the end of April
2006. Ron Roberts 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 11:10 a.m. on Thursday March 9, 2006.
