for publication as Corrigenda.  Thanks to Patrick and Dennis for their 
efforts in creating and reviewing this maintenance work product.

* Discussion: ODF 1.2

Waiting for response from Chet on next step for ODF 1.2.

* Discussion: ODF-Next

Robin reported that mailing list discussions on change tracking are 
continuing.  Will have teleconference later this month.

Stephen asked whether anyone would be interested in a workshop on 
ODF-Next.  Michael observed that if this is an open conference, we need to 
consider how formal contributions may be properly made to the TC for 
consideration.  Patrick will check with TAB on how this could be 
formalized.  Louis will coordinate an ad hoc call on the workshop.

Robin asked about "ODF-Next" and assumptions regarding version 
compatibility.  Rob described the document versus application view on 
version-to-version compatibility.  The TC is not constrained beyond the 
votes of its own members on whether we make the the next version be a 
compatible one or incompatible one.  However, if we follow common 
convention, 1.x versions would be compatible with 2.x versions allowing 
larger incompatibilities, including possible changes in schema URN.
