               2. Work items:
                      o Scheduling an author's meeting to occur before 
the next TC meeting
                        Email to be sent about 45 minute meeting this week
                      o Possible replacement for Nancy Harrison 
(Processing, selected translation topics)
                        Seth Park has volunteered to take over for 
Nancy- may need help
                      o Uploading Learning & Training arch spec topics 
into Subversion
                        John Hunt to upload files if not there
                      o Content of "Contains" and "Contains by" sections

                        Robert Anderson has tool to generate these 
sections. Tool not used for a year. Robert will update tool and document 
it. Robert will also do sections for Machine Industry topics.
                      o Need for (yet another) revised schedule
               3. Conformance statement
                  Status unknown. Eliot Kimber owns it. Not done. Hopes 
to work on it this week.
               4. Question about use of images of rendered graphics in 
specifications
                  Action item: Chris Kravogel to include graphics of 
hazard images in next draft.
   2. ITEM: Issue: Map element IDs and references to them
          * 
http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00024.html (Kimber)
          * Close if Michael has reviewed and agreed to ID uniqueness 
proposal.
            Possible scenario: Map IDs should be unique if possible, 
duplicate IDs can result in indeterminate results. Michael would like 
result to always be predictable in the processor.
            To be discussed more on email list.
   3. New ITEM: Vote on Resolution to create DiCE Subcommittee
            To determine how DITA interacts with other information systems

Subcommittee; seconded by JoAnn Hackos; motion carried by acclamation.

   4. New ITEM: Terminology for SC artifacts (Rockley)

              Dita for business docs subcommittee has looked at terms 
used around task.
              Would like to make sure the term "simplified task" does 
not make it into current specification.
              DITA adoption committee will monitor use around these terms.
              Don requested that discussion about the Adoption TC's role 
for this and other terminology be had on the respective email list, and 
if any new issues are found, bring them up on the DITA TC's list.
