P-1788 activity summary Re: MSC October 11 Meeting reminder. 10AM Pacific.

MSC, P-1788:

Here is a short summary of activity during the quarter:

1. There have been extensive, at times somewhat heated email discussions during the
   quarter, but measurable progress has been made towards resolving the important
   issues, and the character of the actual standards document is gradually taking
   shape.  Juergen Wolff von Gudenberg has maintained a list of motions, supporting
   documents, and status at

   http://grouper.ieee.org/groups/1788/private/Motions/AllMotions.html

   People wishing to examine this valuable summary should contact me for
   a user ID and password.

   The extensive emails are archived at

2. Nathalie Revol, our elected chair, has just finished doing an excellent
   job of organizing and hosting SCAN 2010, the main biennial conference for
   experts in interval computations, at Lyon, France.  We held an in-person
   P-1788 meeting there, with minutes taken by Guillaume Melquiond and with
   roughly 30 attendees.  Although formal business was not conducted
   (we conduct formal business by email to allow maximum participation),
   the meeting served to focus our efforts and better delineate our mission
   or raison d'etre.  A highlight was Juergen's review of the completed
   and active motions, motion by motion.  Evgenija Popova pointed out
   IEEE's new copyright policy for standards body participants, something
   of interest to our many participants from academia.  I briefly reviewed the
   steps and procedures (working group, sponsor ballot, etc.) that are followed
   for an actual standard to come into existence.

Best regards,

Baker
