# Business
1. ITEM: Review of DITA 1.2 Spec
* Review closed on time. Kudos to the reviewers for doing a great job.
2. ITEM: Shell Model generator developed by Elovirta.

3. ITEM: OASIS FO plug-in for DITA-OT

* Marc added the copyright page and updated the change history.
* Marc mentioned that we had postponed it because we were waiting for the specs to be completed before approving. However, there is very little information about this in the
spec - Marc spoke with Elliot Kimber about this to confirm. That is because it is above and beyond the spec - exactly why we need an article like this.
