Writing Mode
------------
The TC discussed the inconsistency in the specification where the 
description of "style:writing-mode" contains a value "auto", but the 
schema a value "page" (see
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200405/msg00035.html). The 
TC unanimously agreed that "page" is the correct value.


Cell Content Validation
-----------------------
The TC discussed the proposal for enhancing the value of the table cell 
validation attribute "table:condition" by an function 
"cell-content-is-text()" (see 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200406/msg00000.html). The 
TC unanimously agreed to this proposal.


Preview Images
--------------
The TC discussed the proposal for adding an optional preview image into 
packages (see 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200406/msg00001.html). The 
TC unanimously agreed to this proposal.


Presentation Effects
--------------------
The TC discussed the proposal for grouping presentation effects. See
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200405/msg00032.html and 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200406/msg00009.html. The TC 
discussed whether the current presentation effect specification should 
be enhanced, or whether W3C's SMIL recommendation should be used 
instead. The TC agreed to allow minor enhancements to the current 
specification, but to discuss SMIL events at a later time.

The TC unanimously agreed to to add an <presentation:animation-group> 
element to the <presentation:animations> element. It may take all 
elements of the <presentation:animations> element as child elements. 
Nesting of animation groups is not allowed, that is, a 
<presentation:animation-group> element cannot have another 
<presentation:animation-group> element as child.

The TC additionally unanimously agreed to add a "presentation:delay" 
attribute to the presentation effect elements that specifies the delay 
before a presentation effect starts after the previous one has been 
finished.


Fill Rules
----------
The TC discussed the proposal for adding the "svg:fill-rule" attribute 
to the <draw:path> element at
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/office/200406/msg00017.html.
The TC agreed to add the "svg:fill-rule" attribute to the 
<style:graphic-properties> element, because that is the location of 
other properties that influence filling.

TC Editors
----------
David Faure volunteers to become a TC editor. This was accepted by the 
attending TC members.


New Action Items
----------------
- Michael Brauer: prepare David's editor position.
