 https://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/odf-adoption/email/archives/201203/msg00002.html

Minutes approved.

4. Chairmanship change? 
TC members discussed the possibility
for a change of the TC Chair. The conversation moved to 'future of this
TC'

5 Future of this TC. Options review 
- discussion on moving the TC to the
ODF TC as a Subcommittee . Louis would be willing to chair this SC. TC
members were in favor of this option during discussion.

In order to accomplish this there are
two steps to take:
1) hold ballot to determine if the majority
of the TC is in support of the closure  the OASIS ODF Adoption TC

2) initiate a proposal to establish
an ODF Adoption Subcommittee within the OASIS ODF TC. 

André noted that the OASIS ODF TC has
a worldwide focus, whereas the ODF Plug-fest community and OpenDocs Society
are European focused.

Louis moves to initiate a one week electronic
ballot with the question: 'Shall the ODF Adoption TC  be closed?'
Rob seconded the motion.
The motion was approved.

Don will open an electronic ballot.
Don will send a separate email to the
ODF Adoption TC, explaining the rationale for this action shortly after
the ballot is posted.

6. Deliverables 
No further discussion.

7. Liaison with OpenDocs Society, OpenForum Europe, ODF Alliance...

No need to formalize a liaison role.

Work to move ODF 1.2 into ISO JTC1 may
require support from the various advocacy groups. 

8. News and Roundtable. 
Louis going to Brazil for FISL13, and
OSCON in  Portland, Oregon, US.  At Brazil he will be speaking
on ODF and Apache OpenOffice. 
Louis will consider publishing an abstract of his talk(s).
 
Meeting adjourned.

Respectfully submitted,

Don Harbison
