 1. ITEM: Status of review #3 comments 
    * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/TechReview3#Reviewstatus.3AAuthor.27sprogress

 2. ITEM: Closure on overlapping/redundant content issue 
    * http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201001/msg00096.html (Eberlein, 12 January 2010) 
    * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/OverlapReview3 
    * 9 March: Dependency on completion of review #3 topics for the processing
      section; reorganization of processing section 

 3. ITEM: Status of open topics: 
    a. Conformance topic (Eliot)
> Closed previously. It's as good as it's going to get for the 1.2 spec.

    b. Acknowledgments topic (Don)
> No update at this time. Don sent the list to Kristen and they plan to 
  continue.

    c. "Map-to-map" cascading (Eberlein)
> Robert: Kristen finishing off and will work with Robert through to completion.

 4. ITEM: Draft of guidelines for reviewers and author 
    * Developed by Kris Eberlein, Robert Anderson, Stan Doherty, and Dick 
      Hamilton; intended to be as light-weight as possible 
    * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/ReviewGuidelines 
> Information only, closed last week.

 5. ITEM: Check on schedule:
    * 15 March 2010 -- Writers complete addressing all review #3 comments.
> Robert: Kris and I completed the processing section. There are still some 
> loose ends to tie up today.

    * 15 March 2010 -- Guidelines for reviewers and authors established.
> Done.

    * 22 March 2010 -- Fourth draft complete; fourth internal review begins. 
      This review will include the OASIS DITA Adoption Committee and the OASIS 
      Technical Advisory Board (TAB). DITA TC members will review only selected
      topics and sections; members of the Adoption Committee and the TAB are 
      welcome to review everything. Kris and Robert

    * 5 April -- Fourth review complete; authors begin working review comments.

    * 19 April -- Authors complete all review comments.

    * 26 April -- Final draft ready to submit to OASIS for public review and 
      official-approval process kick-off. This draft must include all 
      substantive content; if we need to add substantive content after the 
      public review begins, it will require us to restart the approval process.


New issues for today: 

 1. New ITEM: keyref and keydef issue: possible vote required
    * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/201003/msg00051.html (Ogden) 

> Robert: Anybody using the keys inherits the defaulted values (e.g. @toc, 
> @print, @linking) and we should therefore not default them (since we now 
> have @resource-only). The proposal is to remove these defaults and also make 
> explicit the list of attributes not carried over as part of the keyref 
> resolution processing.
> Adopting this proposal requires changes to schema, DTD and lang spec topic 
> that Robert owns. Overall a pretty trivial change.
> Robert moved to accept the changes as recorded in these minutes. Bruce 
> seconded. Motion carries by acclamation.
> DECISION: Update DTDs, schema and lang spec to fix this keyref issue.


Things that can be accomplished DURING public review (treat as ongoing checks 
for now):

 1. Assess OASIS look and feel for DITA outputs (designate a coordinator for 
    input and discussion?) 
    * http://wiki.oasis-open.org/dita/PDFFormattingIssues 

 2. Lessons Learned--anything we can start with already? 
> Robert suggested we come back to this item after 1.2 is released as a spec.

 3. Scan Wiki pages for review #1, review #2, and review #3 to identify items 
    deferred to DITA 1.3 
    * Link with the work plan of items to handle during the public review 
> Gershon is scanning the previous minutes. He said he would appreciate 
> someone scanning the review wiki pages. Discuss in future meeting with more 
> participants.


Ongoing checks:

 1. dita.xml.org page on build scripts (Stan, Kris Eberlein)
> Stan: making progress. Ongoing progress – revisit next week.

2. ITEM: Domain integrator 
   * DITA DTD Generator 
   * http://www.elovirta.com/dita-generator/ 
   * http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/dita/200907/msg00116.html (Robert's message with more info) 
   * OASIS hosting of a Web GUI for this generator?
> JoAnn: Next week's Adoption TC meeting will include Hal going over the tool 
> to show folks what it does. Then we'd need someone to fix up the UI.
> Robert suggested inviting the developer to the call.
> JoAnn agreed to do so.

Announcements/Opens

> DITA 1.2 panel. JoAnn asked all TC members who will be there and would like 
> to participate on the panel please contact JoAnn.
