=== 2. Review items approved in section 1 (http://wiki.oasis-open.org/xliff/XLIFF2.0/FeatureTracking)

Asgeir: Let's go through the items.
Item 1: different module/packages one being the core.
Yves: So modular XLIFF, one core, plus other. Good for compliance too.
Magnus: Yes, allows to grow XLIFF.
Lucia: So like in the presentation http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/xliff/201005/msg00006.html
David: In presentation: Level-1 would not be really XLIFF. Level-2 would be what I would see as real Level-1. Level-3 would be anything above.
David: alt-trans should be in the core.
Yves: Not sure.
Magnus: Tiny core would be nice. Allow more implementations.
David: Who things alt-trans should not be in bare-bones? Yves, Asgeir to some level.
Magnus: alt-trans not vital, so don't see it as core.
Yves: compliance not necessarily a hierarchy. David: Yes.

Asgeir: Time is up.
On everyone's behalf: Many thanks to Magnus for his work in the TC.
We hope to see you back soon Magnus. 

Meeting adjourned.
