    3. 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.

    4. 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.
