* Discussion

- ODF 1.0 errata 

An ad-hoc working group was created, comprised of
Rob, Michael and Patrick, to draft a response to the defect report submitted
by SC34.  Rob will schedule a meeting with Jamie Clark and Mary McRae
to review the OASIS policies and procedures regarding errata reports.

- Meeting time

Noticing that the TC has seen a recent increase in
membership from China, there was a discussion of whether the current meeting
time was optimal.  If desired we could alternate meeting times to
accommodate our global membership. The point was made that this is a difficult
question for the TC members present to answer, since any who would find
the present time impossible would therefore not be present now to discuss
this topic.

Recommendation was that TC members reach out to associates
and see if there is an interest in a TC meeting time that might be better.

TODO:  Rob to contact Jon Bosak to see how he
handled this concern in UBL TC, which also had a large, global membership.

- Fields Proposals

TODO: Oliver  write up a proposal, picking from
one of the alternatives proposed (2, 4a and 4b).  Oliver will also
check with Florian, who made the original proposal, to see if he has any
additional observations.


-Rob confirmed that the next two TC meetings are canceled
because of the holidays.  We will next meet on January 7th, 2008.

The meeting was adjourned.
