3. Newest Information April 2011
Standards Catalog Process and Structure: After many months of collaboration with SGIP members, the SGIP Plenary Leadership team, the Governing Board, the Bylaws and Operating Procedures Working Group (BOPWG), and the Intellectual Property Rights Working Group (IPRWG), this document will be voted on by the Governing Board following the comment period.
PAP 18 Proposal for SEP 1 to SEP 2 Transition and Coexistence: During last week’s Governing Board meeting in the Nashville F2F, the GB determined that there was an immediate need to create a Priority Action Plan (PAP) that focuses on developing specific requirements that must be met to allow for the coexistence of the ZigBee Alliance SEP 1.x and 2.0 and to support the migration of 1.x implementations to 2.0. This proposal was created and the membership briefed at the Plenary meeting last week in Nashville, was forwarded to Governing Board members, and will be voted on by the Governing Board following the comment period.

UK Web Cover Story
A crucial step in delivering the UK’s energy security and low carbon future was taken today with the publication of the Government’s plans for the national rollout of smart meters.
Alongside the Government’s response to the Smart Meters Prospectus consultation, DECC has set out the overall strategy and timetable for the installation of 53 million smart meters in 30 million homes and businesses across Great Britain, estimated to have a net benefit to the nation of £7.3 billion over the next twenty years.
Smart meters will deliver a range of benefits to consumers, energy suppliers and networks providing real time information on energy consumption to help control energy use, save money and reduce emissions.  
Speaking ahead of his visit today to a technology expo at the SmartLIFE training centre in Cambridge, Secretary of State Chris Huhne said:
"In combination with our plans to reform the electricity market and introduce the Green Deal for home and businesses, the rollout of smart meters will help us keep the lights on while reducing emissions and getting the best possible deal for the consumer."

5. Smart Metering Communications and Data Management
Key Government conclusions
 DCC should be created as a new licensed entity, responsible for the procurement and contract management of data and communications services that will underpin the end-to-end smart metering system. The Government will run a competitive application process for the DCC licence.
 The scope of DCC‟s activities and services should be limited initially to those functions that are essential for the effective transfer of smart metering data, including secure communications, access control, scheduled data retrieval and translation services (where necessary). DCC should, at a later date, take on the role of meter point/supplier registration service provider.
 Suppliers in the smaller non-domestic sector should not be obliged to use the services of DCC for meters with smart functionality, but may elect to do so. This position will be kept under review.
 DCC should be responsible for procuring the necessary equipment and services to provide WAN communications, including the WAN module.
 The Government will initiate procurement of service provider contracts in parallel with the DCC licence applications process in order to deliver the early establishment of DCC's services.
 DCC should be required to adopt communications contracts associated with compliant meters installed before its services are available, subject to these contracts meeting pre-defined criteria. There should be a limit on the number of contracts that DCC would guarantee to accept, subject to the adoption criteria being met.

SGIP Governing Board Moves Forward on Key Efforts to Advance Interoperability Standards Framework
 Nashville, TN -- The Governing Board of the Smart Grid Interoperability Panel (SGIP) today took steps that will accelerate progress toward the long-term goal of an interoperable Smart Grid.  The Board’s actions relate to the SGIP’s process for identifying and publicizing interoperable standards, as well as the creation of a new Priority Action Plan related to home area networks.  In addition, the Governing Board continued to coordinate and strengthen relationships with other standards-related organizations in both the United States and around the world.
Since the SGIP’s formal establishment in November 2010, the Governing Board has been building an organizational structure and consensus-based process for the SGIP that will enable the Smart Grid’s many diverse stakeholders to identify, review, and coordinate interoperable standards.  Now that several standards are nearing completion of that consensus-based process, the Governing Board discussed a draft document that describes the Catalog of Standards (CoS) process, including its purpose, scope, procedures, and management.
The CoS will serve as a compendium of standards, practices, and guidelines considered relevant for the development and deployment of a robust and interoperable Smart Grid. It is anticipated that the catalog will eventually contain hundreds of standards, recommended practices, and guidelines.  The CoS will provide a key—but not exclusive—source of input to the NIST process for coordinating the development of a framework of protocols and model standards for an interoperable Smart Grid.  The extensive information included for each entry will also be a very useful resource to utilities, manufacturers, regulators, consumers, and other Smart Grid stakeholders. The draft document will be posted online next week ( Following a comment period of 10 business days, the Board will vote on the acceptance of the procedures described in the document.

April 2011
NIST PAP#2
Abstract:
This work area investigates the strengths, weaknesses, capabilities, and constraints of existing and emerging standards-based physical media for wireless communications. The approach is to work with the appropriate standard development organizations (SDOs) to determine the characteristics of each technology for Smart Grid application areas and types. Results are used to assess the appropriateness of wireless communications technologies for meeting Smart Grid applications.
