James,
The overview I enclosed was extracted from the registration

The abstract reads:
Group Number: 0000988
Description: P1285
Working Group Chair: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Sponsor: Computer Society/Microprocessors and Microcomputers
Committee
Title: P1285: Draft Standard for Scalable Storage Interface
Scope: Defines a scalable interface for use with memory-mapped storage
units and other devices. The term "storage unit" can encompass rotating,
non-rotating, volatile and non- volatile storage. Issues of concurrency,
latency, bandwidth, extensibility, and negotiation will be addressed.
The interface is intended for use with either a single storage unit or
with many coordinated storage units.
Purpose: Provides an efficient physical-layer independent
interface architecture for storage units that attach directly to memory
access buses. In this interface model, storage units have an attachment
to main memory, rather than an attachment to an I/O channel. This
simplifies the storage unit design and supports scheduling of data
transfers spanning large numbers of units.
