Prospective Member:
Dr. Bob Smith

This meeting had a quorum, and continued the work of the previous 
meeting to finish the revision to the primary base schema

It was decided that an IPR Summary for the TC was premature or not 
necessary since we could not assure that the TC would remain in 
existence to vote on it.

We discussed the mission of the TC and the fact that a good case 
could be made for the cultural benefits that could be realized if the 
work could continue.

The big question, it was agreed, is how to recruit OASIS Corporate Members.

This led to the conclusion that we need to express the value 
proposition for the Human Markup Language.

We discussed various means and methods for accomplishing this, and 
agreed to take it up again at the next meeting. Among these methods 
is making a connection in the healthcare context whereby alignment 
with the CIDOC CRM will allow the Human Markup Language to work with 
the DICOM file format in electronic medical scans in a systematic way 
within the Human Physical Characteristics Description Markup Language 
and provide a way to unify the various standards relating to human 
anantomy, archeology and medicine/healthcare. Likewise cultural 
values can be achieved with alignment to cultural sciences.

The meeting adjourned.

Cheers,
Rex
