Today's agenda was accepted.

2.) ODF 1.2 -- deliverables in support;
current status; update workplan 
2a) Preliminary planning for ODF 1.2
Interop Demo 

The TC members discussed the prospective
timeline for ODF 1.2 considering the current public review of Part 3 (to
conclude Jan. 12, 2010), and the current effort to move forward with Part
1. Part 2 (OpenFormula) continues to represent the most outstanding work
effort. A convergence of Part 1 - 3 is anticipated in the April timeframe,
completing the OASIS public review cycles for all parts. With additional
corrections to be made following this review cycle, a vote for a Committee
Specification is anticipated in the mid-late May timeframe. If this ballot
is successful ODF 1.2 will be released for an OASIS ballot by the 15th
day of the previous month. This may mean by May 15, or June 15, for a final
30 day ballot period. 

There is an ongoing debate at the ODF
TC as to how best to amend ISO 26300:2006 (ODF 1.0) with ODF 1.1. TC members
expressed concern that this process not further delay and complicate the
final completion of ODF 1.2. 

The TC will offer support for planning
and support the ODF TC with respect to the requirements of an Interop Demo
pending the initiative of the ODF TC.

3.) Outlining the ODF Adoption TC 2010

TC members discussed the opportunity
to refresh the TC workplan for 2010. TC members were asked to prepare their
prioritized items for completion in support of ODF in 2010 for discussion
in January.

The TC did not review the Action Item
list.

5.) ODF News / Round Table  --
All 
Discussion was focused on continued
efforts to improve the relevance and vitality of the ODF Focus Area at
http://opendocument.xml.org.
 Rob suggested reviewing the DITA focus area for comparison. For example,
the DITA area includes a complete listing of Services in support of DITA
deployment and usage. 

Rob is investigating site statistics
in order to best enhance the page ranking of ODF related site, and thereby
improve the ranking of the ODF Focus area. 

The meeting was adjourned.
