From the Editor's Desk
April has been a heavy travel month for me and so by the time you
read this, I will be on my third week out of the office – this time
at our industry's biggest dedicated show – RFID Journal Live. This
year, I will have a busy time as I am the moderator for the Internet
of Things post conference session, and I will be working on the
Smartrac booth showing a new product.
Follow my Twitter feed (@RFIDMan) for more current RFID, IOT and AIDC news and
information.

The meetings were well attended with 16 countries represented. The first two days were WG 7 where we held Comment Resolution Meetings for parts 1, 10, 11, 12, 15, 16, 18 and 19 of ISO/IEC 29167. This standard defines the Crypto Suits that will be used by the various air interfaces in ISO/IEC 18000. Parts 1 and 11 were sent on to DIS ballot, while parts 10, 12, 15, and 16 were returned for a second CD ballot and parts 18 and 19 were both approved as new work items. During the WG 7 meeting we reviewed the working drat of part 14 and sent it to CD ballot. WG 4/SG 1 was spent reviewing work items and preparing for future work. In WG 4/SG 3the committee agreed to a final review of the new Standing Document to replace 18000-1 and reviewed the working draft of 18000-4 revision, agreeing to send this to CD ballot. Following this review, the document will be published. Both SG 1 and SG 3 are waiting for the work of GS1/EPCglobal on the new Gen 2 V2 air interface to be completed and sent to ISO. This will allow the groups to update ISO/IEC 18000-63 and the associated data standards.
