[Don Day <dond@us.ibm.com>]

For the record, here are the texts of the amendments to the minutes of the
Oct 31 meeting, approved on Nov 14:

Correction to Item 3, by Don Day:

  For the action on the foreign element discussion, I propose this
amendment:

  ACTION: Eric Sirois to provide an updated example and brief discussion on
  using the class attribute with foreign attributes; to be incorporated as
an
  example into the spec topic for the <foreign> element.

Correction to  Item 4, by Paul Grosso:

  Instead of "from text to data", we are removing the "#FIXED"
  indication from the (already CDATA) DITAArchVersion attribute.

  More precisely, I'd phrase the decision as follows:

  DECISION: Robert moves to remove the "#FIXED" indication from
  the DITAArchVersion attribute and to include version-specific
  FPIs (formal public identifiers) in the catalog. Scott
  seconds. No objections.

all TC Qualified Members to vote, ii) no NO votes cast and iii) one or more
YES votes. (from the OASIS IPR Policy FAQ at
