1.3 ACTION ITEMS AND JIRA ISSUES

There are no new or unapplied issues.

We have not review Action Items in a few meetings. It appears that we could have closed some more. The following are continued from November, 2010:

* AI1-Aug17: [Jacques/Dennis] Create an account of the disposition of Public Review comments in an appropriate form.

* AI1-June23: [Kevin] Review the guidelines to see if there is a need for more alignment now that the model document has been refined.

* AI3-June23: [Jacques] Note that the UML diagram must change on test set to align with the change in language.

* AI4-June23 [Jacques] Update the XML Schema for the Markup to reflect the changes being made.

* AI2-June9: [Jacques] Create an issue on the Normative Source Structure and how we propose to simplify it.

2. ROADMAP FOR STANDARD SUBMISSION

Jacques reviewed the general goal to submit for CSD review very soon in April, then make Committee Specification. The Public Review might take 30 days or less. Then we could submit the new standards-track Committee Specifications as Candidate Standards for 60-day Public Review over the Summer. We would not request approval as an OASIS Standard in September or so. It all depends on how quickly we wrap up the CSDs we are working on now.

3. PREPARING FOR NEW TA MODEL CSD

We reviewed the latest, March 24, working draft based on the last meeting comments.

We agree to removal of Test Set without objection.

There is more discussion of section 3.3 and the way to deal with it as informational/non-normative, etc. Jacques will make a new draft based on his thinking on this matter.

4. PREPARING FOR NEW TA MARKUP CSD

We reviewed the latest, March 24, working draft based on the last meeting comments.

There is impact on the TA Guidelines (because of proposed changes in the TA Set markup).

We will keep the simplified TA Set, with some fixes to glitches that were found in the discussion.

We now need to update the TA Guidelines as well.

5. NEXT MEETING

The next meeting is 2011-04-12 at 21:00Z (02:00pm PDT, 05:00pm EDT)

It is important that the new drafts that come out after this meeting be reviewed as quickly and thoroughly as we can, so that we can advance to approved CSDs followed by Public Review as soon as possible.
