Gershon moved to approve previous minutes, Kristen seconded and none objected.

Kristen completed her action (post to the dita-users mailing list and let people know about the move to form a techical communication subcommittee).

Gershon will inform the Docbook TC on next meeting that he is going to prepare a comparison of DITA and Docbook. He will then share the comparison in both TCs.

The wiki page with facts to check when selecting tools to use with DITA was discussed. Action Item: Gershon to define the list of features that constitutes compliance with DITA 1.1 and 1.2.

Definition of compliance was discussed and there was consensus on these topics:
- Tools should accept valid DITA files and output valid DITA files. 
- When required for processing, tools should be able to resolve conref, keyref and topic ref. 
- Tool vendors should publish the list of languages they fully support. 

Action Item: Gershon and Kristen to check with the DITA TC and OASIS if the DITA Open Toolkit can be considered a Reference Implementation.

Definition on the Open Toolkit status is essential for defining documentation strategies. Discussion will continue after Gershon and Kristen find out the relevant facts.

Call dismissed.
