Resolutions


1.  We welcomed Ken Holman to the group.


2.  The major business was the continuing discussion and
    rewriting of the draft Basic Structural Decisions, based on
    the original emailed from the Chair 02/17/2000.


3.  In the course of that discussion, we resolved the following,
    for the Chair to put into diplomatic language and present to
    the OASIS Board.  Resolved:

       "We understand that the current default for mailing
        lists is 'Unarchived"; we recommend that it be set to
        "Archived" by default.

    This is a specific recommendation based on the general
    principle that we also resolved:

       "All material on the OASIS website should be publicly
        accessible, unless the OASIS Board determines that
        there is a good reason why it should not be."

3.  As previously resolved, we adjourned until the next
    scheduled telephone meetings to be held on
           Wednesday, 2000.04.26 (starting at 2:00 pm EST)
           Thursday, 2000.04.27 (starting at 5:00 pm EST)


Meeting adjourned 7:09 pm EST.
