doc.: IEEE Submission, Slide 8 Version 1.2 Goal: –Remove the barriers for adoption –Build on 1.1 On track to begin prototyping this month Prototypes to verify specifications Many products in 2004

doc.: IEEE Submission, Slide 9 Interoperable Prototypes Produce Prototypes at 0.9 Six month prototyping phase –Could go longer if serious issues found Prototype may implement one or more new features –Must be 1.1 compatible Issues resolved during prototype rolled back into specification
