Subject: RE: [dita-adoption] Groups - OASIS DITA Adoption TC meeting modified
Hi team,
We failed to achieve quorum today. Only 5 of us (all voting members)
dialed in. The most urgent task for December is the DITA 1.2 spec
review. I'll notify the TC via email when the spec is ready for review,
and may call an impromptu meeting to round up reviewers.
Our next DITA Adoption TC meeting is scheduled for 21 December. If you
are unable to make it, please let me know so we can determine our
chances of achieving quorum ahead of time.
Thanks,
Gershon
