He also invited the attendees to a social event on Thursday evening including a tour of the area and special dinner to be sponsored by the Korea Institute of Science and Technology Information (KISTI).

The Chair then drew the meeting’s attention to 32N2362 List of Delegates for SC32 Gyeongju, and asked the Secretary to conduct the roll call of delegations. The heads of delegations then each introduced themselves and the members of their delegations. The Secretary passed around a sign up sheet and requested that all attendees sign it.

The Chair then presented document 32N2363draft Final Agenda for SC32 Gyeongju 2013. He then called for changes or additions to the agenda. The draft agenda, a revision of 32N2363, was then unanimously adopted.

5 Appointment of the drafting committee
The Chair asked for volunteers to serve on the drafting committee. After brief discussion, the nominees included Brown (UK), Kilkarni (US), Dongwon JEONG, and Young-jae KIM (KR). There being no objection, the nominations were unanimously adopted and the drafting committee was appointed.
6 Report of the Chair
The Chair then introduced 32N2372 draft SC32 Business Plan 2012-2013. He commented that SC32 needed to make more progress and to do more with less. He noted that there were more projects than could be accomplished, and he called for the experts to weed them out and concentrate on high quality and timely standards. He then requested the working groups and conveners to edit the business plan, recognizing that the world is moving on and strategic thinking was needed. He asked all to think about how we can change the world for the better in the next few years and to talk about this in the working groups.
Knoppers suggested attaching a scope statement to project subdivisions and having the secretary circulate the JTC1 language involved. Brown commented that the ISO/IEC JTC1 Supplement was freely available on the website, and that although scope creep had been a problem, it had not been the case in SC32.
7 Report of the Secretariat
The Secretary then presented 32N2364 SC32 Secretariat Report, 32N2365 SC32 Programme of Work, 32N2366 SC32 Projects at Risk, and 32N2359 SC32 Secretariat advisory on document progression. The topic of document progression was then discussed. Hare commented on the secretary’s deletion of several NB ballot comments and raised an objection. Melton commented that this was past and that the secretary was trying to get real productive comments in spite of negative votes by NBs unsupported by substantive comments. Kilkarni commented that 32N2359 was very recent and had not been discussed in NBs, adding that in involved a different interpretation of the directives than was commonly understood. Finally he noted that this topic would be discussed by his NB and a formal response would be forthcoming. Melton noted that the generic “catch-all” comment was something that went back 15 years or more. Brown commented that although there was some room for different interpretation of directives and room for improvement, the secretary should not disqualify or disregard NB ballot comments. Knoppers remarked that NBs must submit technical comments of substance.
8 Liaison assignments and reports
The topic of ISO/IEC activities of interest to SC36 was then discussed. The secretary presented 32N2371draft SC32 Liaison Assignments and requested the WG conveners to markup the document. He presented 32N2358 JTC1 SWG5 Internet of Things (IoT) liaison, and 32N2382 JTC1 Liaison Report on SC38. Piprani questioned the need for the SC38 liaison. Knoppers remarked on IoT and Brown noted that it was not just about IP addresses or protocols but that the concept was more general.
