Membership notes: - Welcome to Doug Schepers, our newest member of the TC. - Bob Jolliffe has missed two consecutive meetings and loses voting rights. * Posted agenda was amended to include: - motion to approve minutes of September 21st - discussion of Part III issues The agenda, as amended, was approved by unanimous consent. * Minutes of the September 21st meeting were approved by unanimous consent. * Minutes of the September 28th meeting were approved by unanimous consent. * The TC agreed to cancel the meeting of November 2nd, due to the number of members attending the ODF Plugfest in Orvieto. * The TC approved Robert Weir, Michael Brauer and Dennis Hamilton as the TC's liaisons to SC34/WG6. - Rob will notify Jamie of this so he can respond to SC34 formally. * Michael Brauer is checking to see whether he might be able to attend WG6's first meeting in Paris in December. * The TC approved a new Standing Rule: "In accordance with OASIS Technical Committee Process 2.13, the OASIS ODF TC will allow motions to open electronic ballots to be made, seconded and discussed on the TC's mailing list". A roll call vote of Voting Members was: 15 approve, 0 disapprove, 0 abstain and 1 absent. So the Full Majority Vote requirement is met. - Rob will notify Mary McRae of the new Standing Rule * Patrick brought up OFFICE-704 for discussion. Rob mentioned that DSRL (Document Schema Renaming Language) might be another approach to making ODF easier to use by non-English programmers. But consensus was to leave the chapter headers as they are now and to carry forward this issues to ODF-Next. * The TC reviewed the status of ODF 1.2 - Approximately 30 open issues remaining in Part I. Part III is also nearing completion. - Meetings will be held this week and next to work on Part I and III issues. OpenFormula SC continues to meet every other week to work on their remaining issues. - Rob reviewed the allowed options for processing ODF 1.2 in multiple parts and how that relates to public review and OASIS requirements. The following appear to be allowed possibilities: a) The TC waits for all parts to complete and the TC holds a single public review and a single Committee Specification vote and then a single OASIS ballot. b) The TC sends the parts out for public review individually, votes to approve each one as its own Committee Specification and then ballots them as 3 separate OASIS Standards. c) The TC sends the parts out individually for a staggered public review, but then ensures that there is at least the 60-day required period of time when all parts are simultaneously out for public review. We can then vote for them as a whole for a Committee Specification and then a single OASIS ballot. * Adjourned at 10:56 EDT
