Resolutions


1.  Resolved to allow G. Ken Holman as an observer to the
    meeting.


2.  The initial business of this meeting was a discussion of
    membership.  The chair officially notified us that the
    following members have resigned:
             Murray Maloney
             Mary McRae

    As the sense of the committee was that the participation
    of the OASIS board was very important, we resolved that the
    chair should ask John Parson to join the committee.

    We also resolved to ask G. Ken Holman to join the committee,
    and he accepted on a trial basis.

    Further resolved that the chair should report the
    resignations to the OASIS board and ask the board to appoint
    the new nominees to this committee.


3.  The major business of the meeting was the continuing
    refinement and revision of the OASIS technical committee
    procedures requirements document.

    a.  Globally, resolved to change "Basic Structure" to
        "Core Structure"

    b.  A resolution was defeated to replace all mentions
        of "TC" within the draft with the word "committee".

    c.  Resolved to adopt the draft of
            "CS 1. Filtering and interTC coordination"
        as worded at the end of our efforts.  This final draft
        was posted to the mailing list in a message from the
        secretary on 16 March, 2000, entitled:
            "Re: CS 1.0 Final draft"


4.  The new business of the meeting was continuing to resolve
    items from the Current Issues List, specifically old
    number CS1 (now renumbered CS2) "Web versus Hierarchy"
    and the following list items.  There was no final resolution
    as this work will continue next meeting.


5.  Resolved to adjourn until the next regularly scheduled
    meeting to be held on
           Thursday, 2000.03.16 (5-7 pm EST)
           Thursday, 2000.03.20 (5-7 pm EST)
