UPAMD:
The next teleconference will be 20/21 July 2010. This follows the 2 week schedule.
Attached are the meeting preliminary agenda, corrected to date, unapproved minutes of the July 6/7 meeting.
As of now there are 108 people on the reflector. The current voting membership is 31, giving us a quorum of 16. Please see the membership list for voting members on the private page. The latest is the one dated 20100715 at the close of the ballot period. Voting membership is earned now by two consecutive attendance/email contributions. Missing 2 meetings attendance/participation loses voting privileges.
Please send me and the group any additions to the preliminary agenda.
Send any comments, positions, additions on the General Goals ONLY to the reflector to prepare for the discussion on those topics. I expect to do a preliminary poll on the topics for the general goals following the meeting with a formal vote after the next meetings discussions if the group feels it is ready and a call for a vote is presented.
Please restrict the discussion to the General Goals. Other goals and solutions will be measured against these goals.
I have received a communication from the USB-IF stating: “The USB-IF request that the UPAMD WG not use any USB standards as a reference or otherwise at this time.”
Based on this communications please remove the USB option from the communications options.
Respectfully,
Bob Davis
Acting Chair.

VI. Start to review the overall goals of the group. Solicit new input.
a. Life expectancy of 10 years, hopefully more
b. Same connector for All device and adapter connections if detached cable
c. Power range >10W – 130W delivered power to device and is brand, model, and year agnostic
d. First adapter must work with last device and last adapter with first device. Standard Compatibility.
e. Adapter<->Mobile Device communications required for higher power safety >7W.
f. Standard designed to support Certification testing of adapter and device (and cable)
g. Continuous communications growth to support growth of UPAMD capability.
h. Basic power delivery mechanism
i. Must support regular non-battery and battery powered devices
i. Device may be capable of being a source as well as a sink of power
i. To supply power other devices beyond the USB 10W power range
ii. Able to share power for mission critical or business critical applications if willing
j. Make independent of rapidly changing technology
i. Multiple battery technologies currently used – no common adapter or battery voltage
ii. Consider isolation to meet medical power needs
k. Consider future mobile device design options
i. Smaller profiles, headed for 10mm to 5mm? Different shape devices, non-edge usage
l. Connector must not mate with any current designs – product Safety issue – no confusion
m. Apply KISS principle – Keep It Simple Stupid within the other goals.
n. Environmentally friendly to eventual disposal
