1.	Welcome by Chair
	The Chair welcomed members to the twelfth meeting of the TC, which had been called to review progress in the completion of the standard, and in DEX development and synchronisation.
	PLCS now has a total of 77 members (members, prospective members, and observers) signed-up.  

2.	Roll call (see attendance record)
Continuing Action 1/6: All members to ensure that all active DEX developers are registered as OASIS members and join the TC
	The Secretariat conducted a roll-call of delegates against the latest roster. 
	Individual Attendance:  Members: 17 of 77 (22%)
	Voting Members: 16 of 34 (47%) (used for quorum calculation) 
	Company Attendance: Companies: 13 of 22 (59%)
	Voting Companies: 12 of 14 (85%) 
	Meeting did not achieve a quorum.  Quorum rule: 51% of voting members

	Chris Kreiler, as the PLCS TC Secretariat, took the minutes of the meeting.
	Welcome to Steve Foster attending the meeting as a representative from LSC
	Regrets received from Nigel Walker (Rolls-Royce), Rob Bodington (EuroStep) and Leif Gyllstrm (FMV contractor).
	It was proposed that the PLCS TC should take advantage of the new OASIS membership structure as soon as it is published, which would allow experts to participate in individual DEX teams without the overhead of maintaining full membership of the TC through attendance.  This would also allow the TC to go down to organizational membership for voting.

3.	Presentation of status against plan

	No additional feedback or commitments to the resource matrix received since last meeting

	Estimate 5 to 10 days, maximum of 15 days of work remaining depending on number of comments received
	FMV has requested additional selects to be extended - some of these could be accommodated in the existing workload
	Convenor process going smoothly
	Well done to modellers for getting all the Ballot Comments addressed and the foundation modules out the door. The delivery had made a big impact in ISO, with a commendation from the Secretary-General.
