Whereas the members of OASIS ODF TC, have reviewed the draft Memorandum of

concurrence and support of the principles for maintenance of the 
OpenDocument Format Standard set forth in the Memorandum of Principles 
Between OASIS and ISO/IEC JTC 1.

Be it also resolved that the OASIS ODF TC express its intent to adopt 
Standing Rules necessary to implement the Principles of the Memorandum, 
once said Memorandum is finalized.

Be it further resolved that the text of this Resolution be included in the 
minutes of this meeting and that the ODF TC Chairs transmit these minutes

Between OASIS and ISO/IEC JTC 1, document

attachment to "ISO/IEC 26300 maintenance protocols" from Robert Weir,

* ODF 1.2

- Patrick is reviewing feedback on the CD01 and intents of have an updated 
"editor's draft" by the start of next week.

- Michael described his work on generating a list of attribute values from 
the schema

- TC discussed xml:id and its interaction with RELAX NG and RNG DTD 
Compatibility

- TC discussed whether a Terms and Definitions section was necessary.


* Further processing of public comments

- Comments 195-204 were discussed. 

195-197 are simple typographical errors and can be trivially fixed in 
errata and in the 1.2 draft if the errors are also there.

198-202 concern vector graphics.  Members expressed a desire to refer to 
some suitable external reference rather than redefine these terms of art. 
Michael will check with his graphics team to see if they know of something 
appropriate.

Rob will try to resolve 203.

Dennis will look into 204.
