Accelerated Updates to ODF

["Dennis E. Hamilton" <dennis.hamilton@acm.org>]

In our discussions on today's call, we talked about ways to fast-track some
updates to ODF separate from the ODF-next process, both so ODF-next would
not be weighted down with them and so major aspects of ODF-next can be
focused on.

Examples that come to mind have to do with change-tracking improvement and
improved security provisions around signatures and encryption.

I think one should consider the idea of supplements (further parts, if you
like) that are approved for ODF 1.2.  With regard to the complexity of
submission to JTC1, perhaps ISO/IEC JTC1 handling as coordinated amendments
through SC34 WG6 would be fruitful?

I don't know all of the details, but that seems like an avenue to explore.
