11 of 12 voting members being present, a quorum was achieved.

* Rob apologized for lack
of an advance copy of the agenda.  After a quick discussion, the following
agenda was adopted without objection:

1) ODF 1.2 Errata status update
2) ODF 1.2 draft status update
3) SC34 Plenary update
4) TC Liaisons
5) (time permitting) continuation
of technical discussion on play/edit mode


* Errata for ODF 1.2.  Patrick
reviewed  our approach with Murata-san of the Japanese SC34 mirror
committee in Oslo.  This approach, an abbreviated presentation of
the editing changes,  appears to be acceptable.

* ODF 1.2 draft.  Patrick
said that he was ready to post a new draft version, along with an explanatory
"Editing Principles" document.  This draft will be shorter
(more compact) than previous drafts due to the restructuring of material
and removal of redundant definitions.  Patrick urged all to read the
Editing Principles document and bring questions to the next meetings.

- Also discussion of multi-part
approach to ODF 1.2.  Currently planning on three parts:  1=Main
ODF, 2 = Packaging, 3= OpenFormula.  Rob noted that SC34 NB's proposed
everything from 3 to 9 parts for OOXML.  

* SC34 Plenary Update -- Patrick
attended.

* Liaisons -- Rob noted that
OASIS does have a formal liaison policy, both for organizational as well
as TC liaisons:

http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/liaison_policy.php#tcliaison

-  We appear to have
a number of informal liaison relationships, with ODF Adoption TC, with
SC34, and perhaps with other groups as well.  If any TC member wishes
to formalize such a liaison relationship, please refer to the OASIS policy,
and propose this to the list.  We can then discuss and schedule a
vote on it at a future TC call.


The meeting was adjourned
