Ballot status/issues
Angela is pleased to announce that P1074 will be the first ballot invitation to use the MyBallot system. She is requesting that any issues using the new system be reported to her attention.
14764 – waiting on ISO results.
PAR issues
829 – extension requested during March meeting. The extension was deferred until the June NesCom agenda pending a response from Claire Lohr to comments submitted. This is on the June agenda, Claire has responded to the comments.
830 – This is being combined with 1233. The new project number is 2063, “Standard for System and Software Lifecycle Processes – Requirements Engineering”.
1058 – An updated draft was circulated May 9, 2005. Assuming that this will be accepted this version will be submitted.
1044 – Standard Classification for Software Anomalies, this is on the NesCom June agenda. The direction of this standard is to add information in support of causal analysis; the title will remain unchanged during these preliminary stages of the revision.
1175.2 – standard should be complete by the end of the year. Extension request submitted to NesCom and this is on the agenda for the June meeting.
1175.4 – extension request submitted.
Status Reports
Management Board [Schultz]
Standards Status Report attached.
982.1 – Spoke to Alan Nikora, recirculation expected by the end of this month.
1008 – Dennis Lawrence to start this up soon. This project is going to be used as a baseline to support Ukrainian software project research.
1012a has been collapsed into 1012, this standard will no longer be tracked as part of standards reporting.
1362 – Need to create a PAR for the revision or request a standards extension through reaffirmation. Need to find a working group chair, please send all suggestions to Dave Schultz. Paul Croll will schedule a telecom with Dave Schultz, Carl Singer, Joe Jarzombek, and Jim Moore to define format of standard.
1471 - The current document has been fast tracked to SC7. This process takes about a year. After the fast track there will be a coordinated revision between SC7 and S2ESC. A new PAR should be crafted following the fast tracking. Paul requested that Angela pursue an extension, to keep the standard alive while the SC7 process plays out.
12207 – Working with executive director of EIA in support of a joint revision of this standard.
16085 – PAR change request for alignment with the title of the new ISO version was on the March agenda and was approved.
Ukranian Software Engineering Training Center [Bura]
The Software Engineering Center has completed its review of 1008. Juriy Bura is planning on sending its results to Dennis Lawrence.
Mark has updated the standards status. He has one short term action item to link our page to the SE Portal.
No report.
High Integrity Systems [Moore/Croll]
ISO/IEC 15026 revision
ISO/IEC 15026 revision – S2ESC wanted to use the revision of 15026 as a way to develop an umbrella standard for our high integrity issues. The current standard is very safety focused. Canada has proposed a new editor, Barbara Huisman.
DHS/DoD Software
Assurance Initiatives
Joe Jarzombek is trying to ensure that there is a S2ESC presence in these activities. Jim and Paul both participated in the most recent software assurance forum. Individuals interested in participating should contact Jim or Paul.
Management Board Election [Land]
Three members of the Management Board are up for reelection: Kathy Land, Keith Middleton and Mike Waterman. Kathy Land and Mike Waterman will not run for re-election.

S2ESC Document
revisions/Compliance with IEEE-SA Model P&P [Croll/Duncan]
We are getting a lot of pressure from IEEE SA Audcom to verify that our Policies and Procedures conform to the IEEE model P&P. Paul has started the initial mapping which he will pass to Kathy Land, John Walz, and Dave Schultz for review/comment.
Summer Meeting Planning [All]
The meetings are generally conducted in August. The meetings are currently targeted the week of August 15th, planning for the 15th for the Management Board, with the 16-18th for ExCom meetings. The hotel is forwarding a contract for Paul to review.
There may be a conflict with the dates and an SC27 meeting. Looking into changing the dates to the week earlier, Monday the 8th through the 11th.
