 - Discussion about the content model of element prelreqs with Scott
Hudson.

   The content model shall be the "open DITA content model" as
implemented
   in the mitask DTD prototype.

   Proposal made by: Chris Kravogel
   Seconded by: Sissy Closs

 - Discussion about the general design decision regarding the content
model
   of mitask with Scott Hudson.
  
   - Option 1: Make mitask a domain specialization out of task.dtd
     (this implies limitations regarding the content model)
     - This would raise the questions what happens to the existing
       element prereq
     - This option can be ruled out due to the restrictions made by
       the task content model
     
   - Option 2: Derive mitask from topic
     - There are also specialization limitations 
    
   - Option 3: Create an additional different task which is not bound to
     deriving it from topic at all (approval from DITA TC required)
    
   Chris will try to move this discussion to the DITA TC.   

4) Announcements/Opens 

- The next meeting on October 30 will be one hour earlier (3 pm CET) for
the
  european participants (different DST rules).
  
- The face to face meeting is scheduled for Friday November 9 from 4 pm
to 6 pm
  at the TEKOM conference in Wiesbaden, Germany.

- Feedback regarding the hazardstatement specialization from the DITA
TC:
  The hazardstatement content model seems to be acceptable but the
attribute
  specialization might not be a valid DITA 1.1 specialization. There
might be
  some modifications to the main element hazardstatement necessary in
order
  to be consistent with the standard.
