- Dawn on project management metrics
- Actions: Update wiki

Dawn is also planning DITA Doctor sessions.
Dawn will provide conference schedule.
Other Adoption committee members will be present 
Kris suggestion - Signage?
OASIS contribution, financial or otherwise for exhibit space?

Discussion: Goals for Table (Kris)
- Find members of OASIS organizations at the conference? Encourage further involvement?
- Communicate w/DITA community about what work we do?
- Can we get attendee list from Dawn? Or at least member companies? Dawn: Yes, company list is not subject to individual privacy preferences.
- Table Leads: Tom M. and Nancy previously expressed interest; Deb, Carlos expressed interest.

## Review of DITA 2.0 Proposal Deadlines
- Anderson/Redesign Chunking - Stan has reviewed. Kris requested one additional reviewer?  ACTION: Kris will be additional reviewer. ACTION: Eliot will review this week.
- Eliot/Class attribute and Remove Topicset - ACTION: Feb 12?
- Eliot/Deprecate or remove Copy-to:  ACTION: Feb 26
- Dawn/Title-less topics: Andersen will update based on recent TC discussion.

## DITA 2.0 stage one proposals
- Discussion: New stage one proposal. New container that goes into topics. Peer of body. Holds resolved conrefs/keyrefs. Allows editor to work with resolved content, w/o resolving conrefs. [https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201901/msg00023.html](https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/dita/email/archives/201901/msg00023.html)
- TC general consensus. Processors can do this. Should not be part of the specification.
- Requires a TC champion. No volunteers.
- Stan suggestion: Create a parking lot for this sort of proposals? Kris/Robert - Even doing that is fraught with peril. Can present a maintenance burden.
- Chris Nitchie - Suggested framing: Standard is created to support authors in creating content that can be formed into consumable documentation. Anything outside authoring is outside the boundaries of the specification.
- Kris: ACTION ITEM - Will respond to submitter on-list. This is a processing issue, nobody on the TC willing to champion this.
