> ACTION: Kristen to update the schedule table on the Wiki page listing the 
> dates on which we submitted the various CDs to OASIS.

> Kris: Escalation to Scott McGrath appears to have done the trick and we are 
> getting better responses from Mary. Mary also agreed we can use our existing 
> namespace for 1.2 and just need to remove mention of the namespace from the 
> cover pages and also not have a namespace document at the namespace URL.

> Don: In terms of lessons learnt, we should keep Scott in mind when needing 
> to understand why OASIS works the way it does.

> The TC expressed concern over the visibility of the DTDs and XSDs in the 
> spec package now that we don't have an overview document.

> The TC discussed possible options for advising OASIS of raising issues in 
> the future as and when they occur. How to escalate if things don't happen 
> and if things do happen how to communicate what our experience with the 
> process has been like.
