Minutes

The call started with a quick review of the task list (no changes).

Naruki provided an update on the discussions regarding the AVA_VAN question. His proposal of making PAD an optional feature of the PP-Module, and thereby removing it from consideration for AVA_VAN unless PAD is selected by the vendor, will be written up for further discussion. This seemed to be a workable solution for the iTC at this point. The group understood that until the DB meetings we will not know how things go either way. Naruki asked Brian if he would be able to attend a DB session where this is expected to be brought up to which he said yes (subject to the CCUF meeting schedule).

The next topic was the feedback that was received as part of the public review period. Sadly no one outside the iTC (except a few comments from NIAP) were received. Brian had created PRs based on the comments provided by Naruki. These were then reviewed next.

The open PRs #182, #183 and {#184](https://github.com/biometricITC/cPP-toolboxes/issues/184) were reviewed to discuss the changes that were made to the document. Fiona said she would approve the changes after the call (Naruki had approved them before the call). Brian said he would then merge them in.

A brief discussion about TB PR #13 and #181 followed. Brian pointed out that the toolbox changes should probably be accepted, but that further changes to the SD itself should probably wait until direction from the DB (since it could move in any direction). This was agreed as a valid point.

Brian then brought up the timeline and how we should proceed. The Public Review timeline provided for 60 days to complete updates based on feedback, but after a week we were done. It didn't seem like the changes were worth moving to the second review period yet though given the less than 60 days to the CCDB meeting. It was agreed to wait until after that meeting to consider making further changes to the main documents in support of those discussions. The expectation would be to move relatively quickly after the meeting to make any changes and then start Public Review 2 by the end of October.

Again it was agreed that the next work would move to the toolboxes and away from the main documents. The first focus will be the face toolbox. Brian posed a question for the next call on how to handle 2D vs 3D face. The question is basically how to divide them, when should there be crossover and how.

The next call will be in 2 weeks at the normal time.

The call ended at 11:02am EDT.
