Major decisions that were made at the Workshop include:
                  - A Working Group will be established to pursue development of a database and data collection procedures for toolmarks, commencing with ballistic imagery. To join this Working Group, contact  Robert.Thompson [at] NIST.Gov (Robert[dot]Thompson[at]NIST[dot]Gov)
                  - A Working Group will be established to discuss machine readable tables for implementation of the ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 standard (including new Supplements). To join this Working Group, Contact  hicklin [at] noblis.org (hicklin[at]noblis[dot]org)
                  - The Supplement for  Forensic and Investigatory Voice data  is approaching consensus among its Working Group members. The next meeting will be held on March 22 at NIST. Prior to that meeting, an Updated version of the Supplement will be posted on the website. It is hoped that the text will be finalized at that session, so that it can be put out for a vote soon afterwards. 
                  - The day-long discussion on mobile identification resulted in several ideas for possible action. In order To determine which one(s) of them have enough support for further development, please contact  Biometrics-editor [at] NIST.GOV (Biometrics-editor[at]NIST[dot]GOV)  to indicate which one(s) you would like to discuss further in a Working Group.
> 
I)     Changes to ANSI/NIST      

 a.      Limit the required fields (up to not requiring Type-1 records)      

 b.     Simplify the XML implementation - An additional encoding, possibly more directly related to the traditional      

 c.      New encoding type derived from tranditional (e.g. JSON, YAML) 

II)     Outside of AN standard      

a.      Helper document defining a very limited subset of the existing XML (not changing the standard or  requirements, just limiting the complexity of implementation)     

b.     Application profile like LITS to enable state-state state-local transmission for mobile     

c.      Improve the best practices doc      

d.     Mobile requirements as a new formal standard tied to ANSI/NIST-ITL 1-2011 

                  - The  Dental Forensics Supplement  is nearing completion. There will be another Working Group meeting Held soon. The date will be announced on this website as soon as it is established. It is hoped that the next draft will be in such a state that it will be able to be submitted for a vote in a few months.
                  - A Best Practices Recommendations document will be developed for information technology specialists in order to effectively use the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard for Disaster Victim Identification. This will form a companion document to the BPR being developed by the Scientific Working Group for Disaster Victim Identification (SWGDVI) that has an intended audience of Medical Examiners and Coroners. To Contribute to this document, please contact  Biometrics-editor [at] NIST.GOV (Biometrics-editor[at]NIST[dot]GOV)
                  - The US Government has recently agreed to use a new set of location designators instead of the ISO 3166-1 standard's designators. The Department of Defense will draft a submission to reflect this new designation for appropriate places in the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard (primarily Type-18 and Type-11 records). DoD will ensure that the capability to use ISO 3166-1 designations will still be retained in the standard, in order to ensure backward compatibility and to accommodate non-US users of the standard. 
                  - NIST will provide suggested language to include in an update to the ANSI/NIST-ITL standard to reflect guidance on 1000 ppi to 500 ppi conversion for friction ridge images. NIST will also provide suggested language concerning best practices for iris compression.
                  - Noblis will provide suggested language for updates to include a new field for the Extended Feature Set, clarifications of existing text in the standard and other issues highlighed in its presentation. NIST will provide suggested text for revisions as a result of developing conformance testing tools for the standard.
                  - NSA will work with NIST to determine approaches to providing additional guidance on data security for ANSI/NIST-ITL payloads. It may be possible to include language directly in the upcoming revision.
                  - San Jose State University will provide suggested language for the introduction to the standard that will highlight the capabilities of the standard for forensics.
                  -  NIST will explore different approaches to combining the updates & additions to the standard to present them in the most usable and least confusing format. 
                  - Additional topics (such as transmission of 3D cast data from orthodontist offies to DVI sites) will be expored by NIST and subject matter experts for possible submission for inclusion in the upcoming update.

Once the content of the proposed Supplements / Corrections / Additional Explanatory Text has been Provided to the editor, he will compile them together for review in accordance with ANSI/NIST-ITL Procedures. If the resulting comments can be easily resolved, it will then be placed for a vote.
