==========================================================================

IEEE P1363 E-MOTION 2002-2: The IEEE P1363 working group will maintain 
the current point compression methods in IEEE Std 1363 / P1363a, and 
defer further consideration of point compression methods to future 
amendments (if any). The rationale is that alternate point compression 
methods are not yet sufficiently established, and should be studied as 
part of a new work effort. The chair is authorized to prepare a response 
to the ballot comment on point compression methods accordingly.
Proposed: Burt Kaliski
Seconded: Ari Singer
