Thanks for these suggestions. Actually, most of the information you are looking for is present already, even though not in the minutes. The information who is a TC member and who has voting rights can be found on TC roster page at http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/members/roster.php or (public version) http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/membership.php?wg_abbrev=office Rob and I update this page before each call and use it for quorum calculations. A quorum is reached if more than 50% of the voting members are present in a meeting. Furthermore, we track the attendance of each meeting in the calendar tool at: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/calendar.php See for instance the entry of the call on the 22nd of September: http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/office/event.php?event_id=18222 This page also shows how the quorum is calculated. It does not list the voting members at the beginning of each call. But in the very few cases where these may be of interest for a call in the past (I cannot remember that this was ever the case) these could be easily recalculated by applying the OASIS rules to the meeting attendance that is tracked in the minutes or the calendar. This is a little bit more complicated than just having that information in the minutes directly. But I think what is of interest is not so much what was the situation in the past, but what is situation before each call. And that can be easily found on TC'c roster page.
