AI/Stan - add a members-only password and update the calendar listings accordingly. 

1. TC name change: 

   a. The TC reviewed Chet's 03-16-2021 email feedback on OASIS 
      guidelines for renaming existing TCs.

   b. The Adoption TC was not in favor of changing its name if that
      involved:
      - Additional overhead in creating a new TC.
      - Losing the cross-over charter elements currently in the DITA
        TC and Adoption TC charters. 

   Resolution: Keep the current TC name. If the Adoption TC picks up
   lots of new members, it can revisit the issue of renaming and 
   reconstituting itself. 

2. OASIS integration and support: 

   a. The TC had a lively discussion about the benefits and drawbacks
      of doing user advocacy work from within the OASIS 
      organizational structure. 
      - Membership costs
      - Narrow institutional focus on the development of XML language
        specs versus "advancement" of the same. 
  
   b. The TC was not confident in its understanding of the
      relative benefits/drawbacks of OASIS relative to other
      relevant standards or professional advocacy organizations.

   Resolution: We need more information from and about other 
   organizations.
   - ISO (Keith to contact)
   - CIDM (Gershon to contact)
   - ACM (Stan to contact)
   - Write the Docs (Stan to contact)
   - W3C (TBD)

3. Stan - update the OASIS meeting calendar through the end of 2021 
   with scheduling and ZOOM info. DONE
