Minutes of meeting from 30 Jan 2012

[Gershon Joseph <gerjosep@cisco.com>]

Hi all,

Apologies for my late delivery of these minutes.

Reminder, our next TC meeting will be on 27 Feb 2012.

Gershon

Committee meeting -- Monday, 30 January 2012, 11:00am to 12:00pm ET

1. Roll call

> Quorum achieved.
> Regrets: JoAnn Hackos, Briana Wherry
> Rodolfo pointed out that the rules for voting rights had changed from when 
> Gershon and JoAnn checked them in mid-2011.
> According to KAVI's roster, the rules are: "Voting members must have attended at 
> least 3 of the last 5 meetings."
> However, KAVI is wrong, because according to the TC process document here:
> http://oasis-open.org/policies-guidelines/tc-process#membership
> the rules are specified as Gershon has been applying in his spreadsheet
> (Attend two consecutive meetings to gain voting membership at the end of the 
> second meeting; Absent from two consecutive meetings to loose voting rights at
> the end of the second missed meeting.)
> So it appears that KAVI has changed, but the rules have not...  
> This TC will continue to apply the rules as stated in the TC process document 
> and NOT as stated in KAVI.

ITEM: OASIS specs for HTML output for committee notes [JoAnn]
Chet sent some specs to Gershon, passed on to JoAnn for Hal to implement new plug-in

> DISCUSSION around the OASIS process hindering our ability to publish articles 
> at a pace that meets market needs.
> Also, discussion around whether this TC should be focusing on articles or other 
> aspects of DITA adoption.
> What about the focus area -- perhaps it should be an integrated part of this 
> TC's work and not a SC?

> ACTION: ALL members to review the current charter for discussion next meeting.
> Current TC charter is here:
> http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/dita-adoption/charter.php


> ACTION: ALL members to think about ways in which this TC could (or should) 
> operate within the confines of the current OASIS policies. Discuss further next 
> meeting.
> Is OASIS still the best forum for our DITA adoption activities?
