• Corinne Brusque, Director, IFSTTAR LESCOT, France
• Johan Engström, senior project manager, Volvo Technology, Sweden
• James Foley, Senior Principal Engineer, CSRC, Toyota, USA
• Chris Monk, Project Officer, US DOT
• Kazumoto Morita, Senior Researcher, National Safety and Environment Laboratory, Japan
• Scott Pennock, Chairman of the ITU-T Focus Group on Driver Distraction and Senior Hands-Free Standards Specialist at QNX, Canada

Peter posted a nice overview of the session, which also includes the presentation slides.
