Subject: Fw: [office] Draft Charter for a OpenDocument/UOF Harmonization TC



FYI.  This doesn't directly involve the Adoption TC,  but it may be of interest.

-Rob

-----------------------------------

Dear TC members,

in our TC meeting on August, the 14th, we discussed the opportunity to
harmonize OpenDocument and the Chinese UOF file format, and the possible
options to do that. We in particular discussed the option to create a
subcommittee that works out recommendations on how to best harmonize the two
formats. Since the TC did like that idea, Robert an myself took an action
item to create a charter proposal for this.

We have a charter proposal ready now. It is attached below, and I will put a
discussion of the proposal on the conference call agenda for next Monday.

Best regards

Michael
