Liaison Observation #2 TG1 Should wait for v1.1
The Bluetooth SIG continues to be interested in the IEEE Standards-Making Process
The Bluetooth SIG has been advised of the impact of the v1.1 errata delay and understands the IEEE Project Planning issues
The IEEE Task Group 1 needs to review their schedule and advise the BSIG what and when they are needed in terms of v1.1, TTCN, etc.
During Session #8/Scottsdale TG1 will update the BSIG PM 22Sep00 or sooner.

Liaison Observation #3 WG needs to use liaisons
15Sep00 BSIG-IEEE TG Chairs:
- [AR Ian Gifford] In a future IEEE-PM meeting, discuss the process by which the IEEE would maintain a spec after accreditation. (This may determine whether the IEEE should accredit BT 1.1 or a more stable version)
- [AR Ian Gifford] Review the status and milestones of IEEE's SDL model at the Scottsdale meeting. Estimate effort required by the SIG, should the SIG be interested in accelerating the schedule. Send meeting minutes to Francis.
- [ AR Francis] Discuss SDL model resource requirements ( probably from BTI) at one of the next PM meetings and decide whether the SIG can staff and commit to this activity. Communicate the decision back to Ian Gifford.
- [Ian Gifford]: Define with IEEE's attorney, a process or solution for ensuring that errata submitted by IEEE to the SIG do not violate the SIG's IP policy.
- [Tom Siep] Send minutes from IEEE radio2 study group meetings, to the SIG (Francis)
- [Francis & Ian] : Set up a follow-up meeting between SIG PMs and IEEE chairs in late October.
