TC 100/AGS has started seekingnew standardization areas as post PACT activities as described in B.3 (2).

B.2Follow-up of other issues of the 25thmeeting

(1)Digital Cinema

-Reports of SMPTE 21DC and ISO/TC36 --- (M. Hyman) 100/AGS(Secr.)370

Mr. Hyman reported the standardization activities of SMPTE 21DC (former DC28) on digital cinema and ISO/TC 36 on cinematography. Although he left SMPTE, the meeting requested him to continue reporting these subjects.

(2)TC100 security

-Report of Ad-Hoc Group on TC100 security standardization (Revised 100/ AGS (Secr.) 345) --- (J. Yoshio and R. Atarashi) 100/AGS(Secr.)376

The meeting accepted 100/AGS376, that provides the proposed text for TC 100 security guidelines, sending it to AGM for reviewing.

(3)Energy efficiency

-Report of SMB/SG1 --- (J. Baronas) Decision 135/9 of SMB/4040/RM, 100/AGS(Secr.)380

The meeting received 100/AGS380 following SMB/4040/RMDecision 135/9made by SMB/SG1.In order to track political activities of SMB/SG 1, the meeting recommends Energy Efficiency Ad-Hoc, led by Ms. Jean Baronas, to keep the current formation, even though TC 100 has established TA 12 for developing energy efficiency standards.

-TC59 home network and its standby power consumption --- (N. Minami) 100/AGS(Secr.)371 (59/537/NP and59/540/CDV)

Mr. Norimasa Minami reported two activities in TC59 using 100/AGS371. In order to liaise with TC 59 on standby power consumption measurement methods defined by IEC 62301/Ed2/CDV, the meeting requested him to continue the liaison activities with TC 59.

-Contactless power transmission --- (N. Minami) 100/AGS(Secr.)372 (item17/SMB/4010A/DC and SB4 Rep.)

As described in 100/AGS372, SB 4 report (2009-04) includes the issue “power transfer by radio communication.” Item 17 of SMB/4010A/DC allocates the similar topic, “contactless power transmission” to TC 100 and TC 96. In order to respond these requests, TC 100 will prepare a position paper on this subject.

-International standardization for USB specifications --- (S. Hirakawa)

TC 100 Secretary sent back the liaison letter to USF IF (Implementers Forum) for responding the letter from it just before the AGS meeting requesting TC 100 to use USB-IF standards as normative references in the battery charging interface standard. AGS requests AGM to establish the formal liaisonship with USB-IF as soon as possible.

(5) High-level meeting of ITU-T, JTC1 and IEC/TC100

-Report of the high-level activity --- (S. Hirakawa) 100/AGS(Secr.)381

The second Ad-Hoc of IEC TC 100 High-level meetingwith ITU-T, JTC 1 and ETSI, will be held on October 25 at IEC Central Office. AGS expects an efficient meetingusing this framework and requests Dr. S. Hirakawa to encourage the coordination activities with these groups.

(6) New TC100 standardization model including IPTV, PC hardware and etc.

-Draft NP for new TC100 standardization model --- (J. Yoshio) 100/AGS(Secr.)377

AGS requests Mr. Yoshio to provide an NP on new TC100 standardization model including today's discussion on100/AGS377.

B.3New proposals

(1)Relationship between TC100 and TC108

-No modification of the TC100 scope --- (S. Hirakawa) 100/AGS(Secr.)379

After the last AGM meeting, TC 100 considered a scope modification in order to synchronise and collaborate with the TC 108 scope. However, TC 100 went a little bit faster than practical for TC 108 and was about to fail the synchronisation. More research is needed for a successful scope modification, especially in the area of the planned synchronization and collaboration with the IEC TC108. In addition, TC 100 received the comments from US NC about not changing the scope at this time. AGS understood the proposal from the Secretary not to change it at this TC 100 PL meeting.

(2)Post-PACT activities: user requirements for future TC100 standardization

-New Adhoc Group proposal --- (M. Mukai and S. Hirakawa) 100/AGS(Secr.)375

100/AGS375 provides the standardization activities within TC 100 inherited from PACT report. Considering the termination of PACT, TC 100 decided to establish an ad-hoc group for discussing new standardization areas, while similar activities are continued by MSB.

This group will be led by Mr. Mukai, reporting mainly users’ requirements of new expected technical standards within TC 100. It is understood that this activities are different from B.2 (6).

(3)Terminology for multimedia home network configuration

-Requirements for a terminology standard on multimedia home network configuration --- (J. Yoshio and R. Atarashi)100/AGS(Secr.)378

100/AGS378 provides the necessity to create a standard for terminologies of multimedia home network configuration that is observed during the PT activity. The meeting suggestedaddinga new part to accommodate terminologies in the standard of this PT.

B.4Reports on related activities

AGS received the following 2reports:

(1)Report on accessibility project --- (J. Baronas) 100/AGS(Secr.)374
