Results of 4th DMP General Assembly (GA04)

1. A workshop on "Analogue Legacies in the Digital Space" was held on 2004/10/25. Read the Proceedings
2. The nature of DMP technical specifications has been properly defined:
   • DMP will develop Technical Specifications of Interoperable DRM Platform (IDP) as a toolkit of DRM technologies
   • DMP Technical Specifications will be complemented with Use Cases describing how IDP Technologies (tools) can be integrated to provide complete solutions
   • The business use of DMP Technical Specifications will need End-to-End Conformance. DMP is not working on this aspect yet, but will do so starting from GA05
3. Sixteen responses to the PAV Call for Proposals were received from 17 companies
4. DMP Technical Specifications will be developed in phases:
   • Interoperable DRM Platform Phase I (IDP-1) will be published in April 2005
   • Working Draft 1.0 of Interoperable DRM Platform - Phase I has been approved
     • It contains selected technologies for 11 DRM tools
     • Access to the WD is restricted to DMP members
   • An ad hoc group has been set up to further develop IDP/1 WD.
     • 11 teams have been established to work on the 11 technologies
