Hi David,

did you check

http://wiki.oasis-open.org/office/List_of_Proposals

the mailing list, but at least all proposal together with the date a 
proposal has been agreed.

For proposals that follow our new process you additionally find the 
dates when proposals have been discussed in the proposal's wiki page.

Michael
