New Item: How to handle minutes.
      We will start using the OASIS process, which archives the minutes
      and sends them to the TC mailing list. Dick will cc the DocBook mailing list.

6.  Status of stagedir elements in Publisher's.  See [2].
     Email from Radu Coravu reported that

and
are not in the publisher's schema as distributed with Oxygen. This led
to a discussion of where the schema should live in its current state.
These elements depend on 5.1, so they are not in the OASIS repository.

ACTION: Bob will discuss with Norm how Publisher's fits into the Github structure.
ACTION: Scott will verify that the items accepted for 1.1 are represented in a schema,
make that schema available, and respond to the email.

7. DocBook 5.1 release
Bob spoke with Chet Ensign to see what needs to happen to make 5.1
a Candidate OASIS Standard. The changes are all formatting and do not
require changes to the standard. Norm set up a custom process to build
the deliverables. Bob converted the files and process back to the method
OASIS uses and is now using the OASIS standard tools. He created a version
of the Candidate OASIS Standard using those tools and sent it to Chet on
Monday. Once Chet has approved the format, it will be sent to the OASIS
membership for a vote.

8. Admonitions
Larry Rowland reviewed standards for admonitions. He suggests adding .
The TC agree to add as a new admonition.

The TC also discussed whether there should be an attribute that can be used to
specify a particular standard for admonitions (e.g., ANSI or ISO). The TC decided
that this should be strictly a stylesheet question and not part of the standard.
Scott asked, what about safety instructions? This is an ANSI spec, but not ISO
(at the moment; the two standards are being unified, which might cause this to
be added to the unified spec).

TC discussed whether to add a general element to cover cases
such as safety instructions. This element would be the same as the others,
except
