2. STATUS OF ACTION ITEMS

  #0015 Template Scenarios.  Work in progress.
  #0041 Battery of ODF 1.2 Assessment Documents.  No report.
  #0044 Split up Advisory 00002.  Work in progress.
  #0047 Confirmation of Advisory 00008 test documents. Work in Progress.
  #0051 Check advisory 00005. Work in progress.

Andreas mentions he couldn't find the expected outcome of the sample files attached to the Advisory.

Dennis says one should look at different (seven) sections of the specification, and how they interact,
to understand the expected behavior.

Andreas notes that section 20.366 uses the liberal wording "should not", instead of the strict "shall not",
so it still remains ambiguously defined.
He also wonders why ODF needs two attributes to specify this, instead of just one.

Bart agrees that one attribute would be better.

Bart invites the TC Members to have another look at this Advisory.


3. DELIVERABLES / TEST CASES

3.1 Second "State of Interoperability" Report

Bart thinks that the latest draft is good enough to organize an e-ballot,
asking the TC Members if they want to have the report published as Committee Note Draft.

However, it would go against OASIS's spirit of open participation to organize the ballot at this moment
(Bart and Dennis are currently the only Voting Members of the OIC TC)

3.2 Other Interop Advisories

No new advisories.


4. ROUND TABLE

No further comments from Chris nor Andreas.

4.1 ODF TC

Dennis talks about the upcoming SC34 meetings and the topics being discussed in the ODF TC:
- an errata of ODF 1.1 will be up for public review real soon
There is some discussion on whether the updated schema will be part of this errata
- ODF 1.2 should be submitted to ISO via PAS, but it is unclear why this hasn't happened just yet
- there's a slide-ware proposal for advanced change tracking, now it has to be transformed into a specification
- ODF 1.3 is in the works, although a committee draft is not on the agenda yet

4.2 ODF events

Louis mentions the upcoming CONSEGI event in Brazil, which is a general open source e-gov event
(so it's not an ODF-specific event)

4.3 Chairing the TC

Bart repeats that he will most likely leave the TC  at the end of the year to work on other projects.
Dennis suggests to appoint a co-chair, so he/she can take over the role of chair when Bart leaves the TC.
Louis already volunteered for this role (of course other Members may also )


5. FUTURE MEETING PLANNING

The next call will be on Wednesday June 26th, starting at 13:30 UTC.
