[humanmarkup] Agenda for Dec. 19 TC Meeting

Hi Everyone,

Standard procedure for organization meetings held under Robert's Rules of Order generally start by calling the roll and then reading and voting to accept the minutes of the preceding meeting, which serves to se the stage for current meeting. OASIS does not follow rigorous procedure, thanks be, so we don't have to start by admitting we have no minutes for November because the meeting was eventually cancelled for a variety of reasons.

So, we can start with a review of efforts made by or known to participants in this meeting that have been made since October.

We have no specific reports to be heard, we can start with Old Business:

1. Can we establish an HPCDML Subcommittee. This largely depends on the attendance of Sudhakar Gorti unless he has decided to decline to chair the subcommittee, or has given someone his proxy for this meeting, or has designated someone to accept a co- or subordinate- chair position. Hopefully, Sudhakar will be able to attend.

1a. Is the existing or an updated mission statement required?

1b. If so, is it accepted?

(Note: New business is usually introduced in a month's meeting, discussed, and formally voted to be put on the agenda of the following month's meeting. This is not required, but is a good idea with controversial or very important and time-bound decisions. Of course, time-bound decisions that have short term considerations have to be decided at the time or in the week following.)

Then we can move on to New Business:

1. Should we decide Milestone dates for Subcommittees and any concerned parties to submit lists of elements/attributes and datatypes as part of initial set of basic HumanML XML Schema Requirements?

1a. What should those dates be?

1b. Should full discussion and voting be put on the following month's agenda?

2. Should we require a vote on the TC list on all questions before a decision is considered final and binding?

2a. Should we put this question on the next month's agenda for full discussion and vote?

3. Should we ask if someone is willing to take up Topic Maps participation or monitoring, or simply to coordinate producing a requirements submission to ensure compatibility with XTM 1.0 and any on-going work that may effect us?

4. Discuss end-user survey/member database as on-going concerns.

5. Discuss Web Services Component Model TC participation and liaison recommendations to take to WSCM TC Meeting.

6. Discuss setting up our own publicly available and loggable chat facilities.

7. Low participation is a problem. Should we ask for suggestions?
