Membership
  - Carmelo volunteer to undertake the contacting of vendors and mail lists 
for new participation
  - no-one on the committee at this time is prepared to undertake the 
position of chair to replace the outgoing chair
  - Karl: - other committees not having as critical a membership problem as 
this group
          - could consider moving generic issues (like the generic testing 
framework) to the Conformance TC (Ken to contact Lynne)
  - Lofton's action item:
      - each working group is "ultimately responsible" for QA deliverables 
in each of their own ways (which may involve relying on other groups)
      - the dedicating of resources does not quite meet the requirement due 
to committees pleading "poverty of resources"
      - our committee should make a presentation to the XSL group
        - needs a briefing paper for orientation for the group ahead of time
      - Ken and Dave to prepare offline for presentation to the group 
during their next face-to-face May 13-17
        - possible to approach XSL group members at conferences the week of 
May 20:
          - Dave will be at the XML conference in Baltimore
          - Ken will be at the XML conference in Barcelona
  - contingencies:
    - approach OASIS Conformance TC to undertake generic framework and 
approach XSL working group to undertake testing of XSLT/XPath using the 
framework
    - QA working group looking at generic framework (note the mail archives 
are public)
